The VideoLAN Forums

I was looking to developing streaming of video from remote pc to iPhone, I saw VideoLAN as possible solution...

I want to stream "video" to an iPhone, the reason I use quotes around video, is that I want to be agnostic about the ultimate source of the image frames.

Something like this...

(source of image stream...could be video file or could be some other source, like cam video feed)-----> send stream to iphone, iphone treats stream like it would frames of video, and plays them.

Would I be able to use VideoLAN for such a scenario?

I not really sure, since I have not done this myself. A quick search yields the following, but I have no idea if it works:

- http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/10/2 ... ital-home/
- http://jokru.posterous.com/apple-http-l ... diphone-w-

Let us know if either one worked for you.

Yes you can use VLC for such a scenario but you will need other components as well.

VLC as streaming instance
Livemediasegmenter (e.g. mediastreamsegmenter from Apple)
Server with correct mime types
HTML5 for delivery

See other post for starting points: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=88394
There are plenty of tutorials on the net to do this.
