The VideoLAN Forums

Got a little bit further.. I am able to now create the segments and actually stream audio from a shoutcast server only via this command: ./vlc http://www.myshoutcastserver.com:8000 --sout '#standard{access=livehttp{seglen=5,splitanywhere=true,delsegs=true,numsegs=5,index=/var/www/vhosts/myshoutcasts...

I followed this: https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Streaming_HowTo/Streaming_for_the_iPhone/ But I seem to missing something. I'm actually using this as my main example: vlc -I dummy --mms-caching 0 http://www.nasa.gov/55644main_NASATV_Windows.asx vlc://quit --sout='#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=96...

try this.. go into control panel, audio devices, recording devices, right click on your tuner card and select it as the default recording device. Make sure the volume of the recording input device is up. You should see the audio feed coming into the computer via the recording devices tab. then try y...

are you unsing linux from command line? make sure you use gather: before your transcode.

As far as I know.. no. If you are running linux, and you know the port your stream is running on, you can do this: ss -a | grep -c PORT Obviously PORT is the port your stream is running on. Make sure the port number you chose isn't defined in /etc/services other wise the friendly name or PORT will p...

I wrote a quick and dirty how-to over here:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=68649

that should get you started.

Santa Hat is back!!! yah! I was honesly kinda sad when I hadn't seen it yet and I thought you guys pulled it out because people were whinning about it. I'm not religious at.. but still love the hat. To me, it just shows winter has arrived. I know everyone is busy, but maybe at some point you could d...

Hello, I wont to start a stream server and give some moderators apportunity to stream prepared video files. The content should be available as a flash stream. Please help me to run VLC correctly. Please give me some examples, how can I start the server and connect the video with streaming server. B...

if that doesn't work, then the issue is related to your router.

You need to write your own shell scripts to do it for you.. I wrote all mine in perl and i do it in centos 5.

Also, vlc does not work with shoutcast2. You need the 1.9.X server for vlc to connect to it. I opened a trac ticket about getting vlc to play nice with shoutcast2.

you could pin each vlc process to a certain cpu with the taskset command.

http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/taskset1.html

still kind of dirty, but allows you to be a bit more granular with your resources.

not sure.. my out put to flow player is http.

latency will most likely be your biggest issue.

maybe switching to UDP instead of http?

vlc does not work with shoutcast2 only shoutcast 1.x.

i opened a ticket recently with the developers and the'll get to it when they can. sorry.

I stream to my droid using flash. edit.. if you click on the links in my sig, you'll see i use a combination of flow player to do it. i reread your thread.. my way is a little complicated.. but this is how i do it: vlc on my windows machines sending UDP -> vlc on server takes UDP strings turns it in...

Done!

I was doing some testing with the new Shoutcast2 DNAS and discovered that streaming from VLC to shoutcast2 does not work. Here is what I get in my shoutcast2 logs: 2010-06-30 19:56:30 E msg:[src 74.208.167.104:44885 sid=1] [src 74.208.167.104:44885 sid=1] connection rejected. Bad icy header string [...

Discovered a bug using VLC streaming to Shoutcast 2.X. Will create a new thread and post details.

*phew*

thanks!

I've been sweatin it for the last few days.

I understand that VLC disagree's with Winamps take on how VLC will interact with Shoutcast. Does this mean that in version VLC 1.1 that VLC will no longer be able to stream to a Shoutcast server as well? Or does it only pertain to listening to Shoutcast? I have some upgrades I need to do on my serve...

My How-To has NOT been tested with Shoutcast 2.0. Only Shoutcast 1.X.

Also..

If VLC drops support for Shoutcast, this How-to might be completely worthless anyway and I might have to switch completely to ICECast... which long term might not be a problem.

see my how i use vlc thread in my sig. should cover the basics for you, just ignore the shoutcast part in my how-to.

depends on your os. i'm running centos, but this should work for redhat.. you can do a ss -a | grep portnumber. example: ss -a | grep 8081 however, if port number is in your services file, you'll need to grep for the service that port is defined for. Example: port 8081 is defined as the tproxy servi...

Im happy to say that version 1.0.5 has completely fixed my issues.

thanks for working those issues out guys!

thats awesome! Can you try this command for you genereated string? :sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100} Use mp3 instead of FLAC.. ab=128 is your audio bit rate.. you can change that to 32,64,96,128,160,192.. etc.. samplerate can be changed to 22000(i think.. I cant rememeb...
