The VideoLAN Forums

Hello all,

I'm currently experimenting with streaming from my mac to my ipad with vlc.
i have had no luck so far even though i have come across some possible solutions.
This is my situation: i want to stream from my mac to my ipad.
I would like vlc to stream to a local website (web server enabled on mac).
In that website i would like to embed video that's viewable on pc and ipad.
I know there's a way for vlc to stream to embedded objects in websites but those plugins aren't available on ipad to my knowledge.
Does anyone have a solution to my problem here?

Thanks

Anyone?

Hi,

you should get this working with some nice tutorials out there on the net. The thing is you'll need other stuff such as a segmenter and a properly setup web server with correct mime types. It worked for me.
My setup: local vlc streaming -> ffmpeg muxing screen & audio -> mediastreamsegmenter prepares stream for ipad -> html5 delivery

Start here for info on the setup and basic commands: http://blog.niamu.com/1080p-video-on-the-ipad-sort-of/

Then follow up here for some VLC examples in order to stream: http://www.unmht.org/memo/en_ipod_stream.html
Another example streaming to apple tv with VLC and mediastreamsegmenter: http://www.tuaw.com/2010/12/22/screenca ... r-airplay/

This should get you going!
