What could be the requirements to ask to CDNs ?

As I did not contact any CDN, I take your ideas

Are there some docs about this ?

Hello, I have VLC working really great to stream from a video card in FLV format. Now, I'm facing an unattended issue : the live stream is seen by more people and it loads the bandwitdh too much. My question is : Is VLC able to send a working FLV stream to a CDN where clients will connect ? Thanks f...

Ok, did some more tests : Common basis : VLC 1.1.7 compiled under debian 6.0 with ffmpeg 0.6.1 source tree as PKG_PATH_AVCODEC. Configuration 1 : Dell Precision T3500 with Asus MyCinema PCTV Acquisition Card. The FLV stream is desynchronized after 2 hours of streaming. Audio is late by 3 seconds. Co...

Thanks for replying.

An idea : is it possible, if I enable the rc interface, to tell vlc to "resync" or to "make the audio stream" be N seconds in advance, therefore getting a "false resync" ?

Hi, My goal is to stream from a bt878 acquisition card. For testing purpose, I streamed really great a XVID file without desynchronization at all with the following command-line : --sout '#transcode{vcodec=FLV1,acodec=mp3,vb=2000,samplerate=44100,ab=96}:standard{access=http,mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=s...

Great. Thanks.

I forgot to install lua5.1 while I installed the -dev libraries.

Hello, For testing purpose only, I try to compile VLC 1.1.5 on Debian Squeeze AMD64. I get the follwing error : LUAC lua/extensions/allocine-fr.luac /usr/bin/luac: lua/extensions/allocine-fr.lua:212: unexpected symbol near `#' make[2]: *** [lua/extensions/allocine-fr.luac] Erreur 1 make[2]: quittant...

Is this situation still the same as of now (7 Dec. 2010) ?

What is the best way to have VLC working as expected in Debian Squeeze ?

Thanks for your answers.

Forget it. Changing v4l2-input to 3 solved the problem. Sorry.

Hello, My goal is to stream a video acquired from a Asus PCTV Cinema card (v4l2 device available from /dev/video0). In order to test, I've got Xawtv working to see the video images. I have the video in color if I select the S-Video input and the PAL standard. So, in xawtv all is ok. Now, I have the ...

Ok. Never thought about bandwidth consumption but the idea is to start cvlc without duplicate output to display, thus displaying the transcoded video locally.

Thank you for help.

Hello, I have VLC running well on an Ubuntu 10.04. Now that it works ok, I try to run it from a remote Debian Squeeze computer with the following command : cvlc -vvv v4l2:// :v4l2-dev='/dev/video0' :v4l2-standard=4 :v4l2-input=2 :v4l2-stereo :v4l2-samplerate=48000 :v4l2-caching=500 :v4l2-tuner=0 :au...

Ok, I think I've got it working. Need to tweak the audio encoding but nevermind.

Thanks very much for your help, Greg.

S Video does not support sound Ok, I take good note of this. Suggest line-in from your console would be a good choice Ok, are there any good source of info to build the sound input part of the command-line ? Hmmm depends on what you mean by "Free" or "Almost free"? Open source o...

Hi, My goal is to stream a video while acquiring it from a bt878 card on an Ubuntu PC and, on another webserver, to display it to other people using almost only free software. I read some of the posts of this forum and here is what I want to test : Video taken from cameras in a theater -> bt878 card...

I disable debian-multimedia but I still get the same error by using debian lenny's version. Is there a workaround ?
Thanks

Ok, I'll test by disabling debian-multimedia. Thanks.

Strange, ffmpeg was not installed. After installing from debian-multimedia repository (debian lenny), it throws the same error. elesouef@mathilde:~$ ffmpeg -version FFmpeg version SVN-r13582, Copyright (c) 2000-2008 Fabrice Bellard, et al. configuration: --prefix=/usr --libdir=${prefix}/lib --shlibd...

Hi. When I try to stream an mms stream and transcode it with the following commande-line : vlc -vvv mms://streameserv.example.com:1800 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128}:standard{access=mmsh,mux=asf,dst=mystreamserver:8080}' I get the following error in logs : [00000283] main ...
