Hello I'm trying to stream mpeg4 video and mpga audio from linux server to windows client. I have 0.8.6b on server and 0.8.6d on client. I wrote my own module based on v4l module to capture video and audio. Server is a specific device, and video has some delay, about 80ms... So I made such thing: p_...

Answer. Don't use HTTP. It's not a streaming protocol. it's a file protocol. RTSP or UDP/MPEG2TS are the only protocols that I recommend for streaming. it really works even in windows, thank you ^_^ because by comparing the time when UDP packets were received with the timestamps inside the MPEG2 TS...

As The DJ pointed out, HTTP is not the way to go. The problem is that you have two independent freerunning clocks which after some time unavoidably create buffer underruns or overruns. I'd recommend using MPEG2-TS over RTP which is the most robust implementation. (BTW, I'm afraid with live555 libra...

thank you for answer :) i'll try today this variant. but one more question: yesterday i made the same server-client streaming, but i used linux server (vlc-0.8.4a), and windows client (vlc-0.8.4a). on server side i used v4l module. all other parameters were the same. today i've got no error messages...

hello i'm trying to make server-client streaming of audio. server and client have windows xp sp2 i'm using vlc-0.8.4a and vlc-0.8.5. but the situation is the same with both versions. so, i use wxwidgets interface, but i'll try to write server mrl: vlc dshow://:dshow-vdev="none":dshow-adev=...

Hello, everybody. I have a problem with audio transcoding. I think it is a problem of usage of command line. I need to try adpcm codec. Ffmpeg supports it. If i use this part of command line: transcode{acodec=abpcm,channels=1} - vlc can not find codec "adpc" transcode{aenc=ffmpeg{acodec=ad...

Hello.

I had the similar aim. First of all read this document http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/vlc/ ... anual.html
It will help you much. Then try to understand, how input module works. The easiest way to write your own module is to change the existing one.

Hello everybody. I'm happy, because now I can play files encoded with wmv3 video codec. But it was not clear for me, how to achieve this. Searching forum gives me only one post. So, I think this information will be useful for users: First of all, you will need win32codecs packet. I've found it in my...

Hello everybody. I want to decrease time, which vlc needs to stream video. I made some timing marks using such code in the input module and in the streaming module: ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //debug FILE *f; mtime_t current_time = mdate(); f=fopen( &qu...

what is your configure line?
when i compiled my vlc, smb.c was not compiled

you need to download CVS sources of ffmpeg and compile them.
it seems to me, that you have ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre or earlier

by the way, you can find me in icq, i'm speaking russian too. so i can try to help you

senx for answering

hmmm. i recompiled wxWidgets with the following configure line: and now it works. but there are some wx-mistakes when opening file from vlc. just in the console, vlc works fine

i have the cvs sources of ffmpeg, i can compile them with mingw32 (not yours).
but when i copy ffmeg libraries to /usr/win32/lib, vlc configure says, that it can't find avcodec_init function in these libraries. the same problem with your libraries package (link in the first post)

So... I've downloaded http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/contrib/ffmpeg-20050624.tar.bz2 . I think it is ffmpeg source for cross-compiling. May be I'm wrong. I deleted libavcodec.a, libavformat.a and libavutils.a from /usr/win32/lib . Then I compiled this ffmpeg source, comied libraries and co...

try program AVIcodec to determine codecs

Some addings. My actions: 1) I made configure to skip ffmpeg check (just deleted few "if" constructions) 2) PATH=/usr/local/mingw/bin:$PATH CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/win32/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++ ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i3...

hmmm. in vlc you can find stream parameters. i don't remember exactly where... i think:
open your file => second menu, third item. this is stream parameters.
and you system configuration you can find in:
right click on My computer => properties

may be your computer isn't fast enough.
post it's configuration.
and post stream info

Hi. I've downloaded your mingw32 cross-compiler and a set of precompiled libraries for windows here: http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/win32/contrib-20051104-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.bz2 http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/win32/mingw-gcc3.3.1-linux-crosscompiler.tar.bz2 but in this p...

i've had the same problems cross-compiling vlc for windows using mingw32. but compiling for linux is ok.
i think it's so, because of ffmpeg libraries. ensure you have ffmpeg installed correctly

by the way. i have vlc 0.8.2
suse linux 10.0
kernel version 2.6.14
