The VideoLAN Forums

Hello,

I have a Axis211W cam running on a remote location ( that has internal webserver and can stream video ). The sream from this Axis cam is working on the url say:

http://(Axis211W came source IP):44444

( note we can chose port number as we wish in the axis cam setup )


Plan is the get this Axim cam stream as input stream on server and send the output stream to clients or embed on a webpage, with a hope to buffer and amplify the stream quality.

On the server we are running the following command as root ( for time being )

vlc -vvv http://(Axis211W came source IP):44444/mjpg/video.mjpg --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=ServerIP:8080}'


Now the stream seems to be working, but it is very slow ( due to its distance as well as webcam connected to the internet on a satellite link ). There are packet losses too from cam to server. Is there any way we can buffer the stream from webcam to the server on the server and then perform a delayed streaming, so that the output stream from the server is constant and smooth?


Maybe some caching/ buffering or use of other codec formats may help or something else, you can adivse.




Thanks

hello from Cape Breton, Canada-our internet is via satellite-when i use any audio listening programs -there are drops in signal-have to restart;
VLC has a video buffering; is there a buffering setting for Audio-so i can compensate for this lose of signal?
