Hi, I want to use VLC as a streaming server for real-time streaming. Can VLC reads from a Java data strcuture that acts as the video and audio sources for streaming? For example, I have a Java program that has a data structure that contains the streaming packets, can VLC reads from the data structur...

Hi, I am writing a Java UDP server by reading a media file (like .mp3) at an average bitrate and streaming across the network and have VLC media player to play the stream. However, it seems like the UDP server has to encapuslate the mp3 packet into transport stream in order for the VLC media player ...

What are the sequences of formatting the MPA payload? Say the frame is 522 bytes, How do I packetize it to stream it to VLC for playback ? I am doing the following: 12 bytes of RTP + 4 bytes of MPEG Audio-specific header (RFC2038) + 4 bytes of TS header + 184 bytes MPA payload + 4 bytes of TS header...

I want to stream a MP3 file using my custom RTSP server with VLC media player. However, I am getting a list of 'emulated startcode' in the VLC log. Here are the sequences: 1. I wrote a UDP program that reads a MP3 file and sends the MP3 frames by frames with MP3 header included to a data structure. ...

How about will I be able to create a TCP server sending packets at port 8080 and have VLC using http protocol to receive the packets? thanks

Hello,

Say I have a TCP server sending packets. Can we use VLC to receive a TCP stream? What is the command line? vlc -vvv tcp://127.0.0.1:1234 doesn't work

thanks,

Have another question. What is the minimal set of information (for example bitrate, timestamp) that a VLC streaming server needs to have to stream a stored (prerecorded) media file, like .avi file?

Thanks for reply. Few more follow-up questions 1. For client authentication, does it support PKI authentication for RTSP? 2. For streaming prerocorded content say .avi file, how does VLC streaming server know how many bytes to send it over to the client each time? Can you provide a more detailed seq...

Hi 1. Does VLC RTSP supports authentication? 2. Does VLC support SSL for RTSP? 3. Can someone explain the concept of how VLC stream a stored media file? For example, an .avi file consists of chunks. Does VLC need to decode the container format before streaming out to the network? Or does VLC stream ...

To clarify my question, that is how does VLC streamed stored media file? Is the media file segmented and encapsulated with RTP? How does it know what is the transmit rate and the size of the segment?

Thanks,

I would like to have a better understanding of the streaming architecture Say I have a .mp4 file that I want to stream over the network using rtsp. How does VLC do this? Does the container formats have chunks or segements in sequence and VLC loads the chunks in RTP packet? What information does the ...

Does VLC support RTSP/SSL?

Hi

Does anyone know how to use VLC to do RTSP authentication (PKI) streaming?

Thanks,

Hi, I have a Java program that reads a media file (.mp4) and sends it as udp datagrams on port 1234. I try to use the VLC GUI by going to Media -> Streaming -> Network, and select UDP as the protocol and put the ip address. For testing purposes, the Java program and VLC are running on the same serve...

Hi,

Is there a way to use VLC to streaming using TCP instead of UDP? If there is a way, how to do it?

Thanks,

Are you able to get this work? I am facing the same problem. can I use VLC to stream any raw data? Thanks

Hi,

Can VLC act as a server to stream any type of data file, even the file format that it does not support? Can you stream any binary file ? How do you do that?

Thanks

Can anyone provide me with the instructions on how to compile, build, install VLC in Solaris Sparc?

Thanks

I tried to configure VLM VOD via the VLC media player. This is what I did: First by Setting up the Log 1. Open VLC media player 2. Go to Tools -> Preferences 3. Click All settings 4. Expand Advanced -> Logging 5. Enter C:\vlc.log as the log filename. 6. Click save I aslo went to 1. Go to Tools -> Me...

Hi, I would like to use rtsp. I followed the vidoe on demand instructions. Some of my questions: 1. Is this the only way to do rtsp to use VLM? 2. I issued vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554. Then I issued telnet localhost 4212 and entered my pass...

Can anyone give me some links that describe VLC / VLM architecture?

Does VLC provides APIs that I can use?

What is the difference between HTTP vs RTSP streaming?

Hi, I am trying to use VLC as a streaming server and client. I found online documentation http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Streaming_HowTo/Easy_Streaming but the documentation is out of date. Currently, I installed the VLC version 1.0.3. Does anyone has the updated version of the documentation...
