not able to get vlc working
Posted: 27 Sep 2009 23:07
Hi@ll,
after serveral days (and nights) of trying to get vlc working I'm giving up now.
First of all it is a debian lenny machine I am talking about. In this enviroment I was running in trouble with ffmepg so I decided to update the machine to "testing" where the "problems" are looking a bit different.
What I want to solve in general is to stream a webcam connected locally via usb to a zoneminder server. At this time I'm not quite sure of the right output but think that the following entry could not be wrong in general:
Here are the latest results:
So if you have any hints for me to make vlc running I'll be very thankful
regards
Stefan
after serveral days (and nights) of trying to get vlc working I'm giving up now.
First of all it is a debian lenny machine I am talking about. In this enviroment I was running in trouble with ffmepg so I decided to update the machine to "testing" where the "problems" are looking a bit different.
What I want to solve in general is to stream a webcam connected locally via usb to a zoneminder server. At this time I'm not quite sure of the right output but think that the following entry could not be wrong in general:
Here are the latest results:
After this vlc replies as follows:vlc -vvv v4l:/dev/video0:size="320x240" --sout #transcode{vcodec=mp4v,venc=ffmpeg}:rtp{dst=192.168.110.232,port=1234,sdp=http://192.168.110.232:8080/test.sdp}' --no-audio --ttl 1
As you maybe can think vlc is installed by a preconfigured .deb package. On the machine itself should run nothing more than vlc so if it would be a good suggestion to change the debian version or the system itself this would be no problem - but on the other side I am quite sure that there is anyone out who can help before doing such a step.VLC media player 1.0.1 Goldeneye
