HTTP Streaming no video, just buffering

[artsylar]

Hi,

I am having problems streaming via HTTP and I hope someone could help me with it.
I am actually trying to stream 3gp data to a mobile device. I am using an Anritsu device
between the mobile device and the streaming server, which is my notePC.
Streaming between the two PC, which are in the same network, is OK.
The mobile device can actually connect to the streaming server, but it will just display buffering xx% xxkb,
without any video or audio. Has anyone here experienced the same problem?
When I checked the log, it seems like the mobile device is actually receiving data but is just part of the data.. (I think)

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
artsylar

Btw, I am using a Windows XP Machine. I converted the data using QuickTime Pro.

I am using this version VLC Media Player 1.0.5 Golden Eye.
I just used the UI of VLC for HTTP Streaming.
Here's the steps,
1. File -> Streaming
2. Add File and click on Streaming button
3. Click on Next
4. On the Destation tab, I selected HTTP and clicked on Add
5. Input host ip address
6. Uncheck Activate Transcoding and click on Next
7. Edit the generated stream output string
FROM
:sout=#std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=xx.xx.xxx.xxx:8080}
TO
:sout=#std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=xx.xx.xxx.xxx:8080/test.mp4}

where xx.xx.xxx.xxx is the IP Address of the streaming server

8. Click on streaming button

There was no error or whatsover if I follow the above procedure.
Other PC can view the video except the mobile device that I am testing.

I experiment some trouble using the gui ( i'm not an expert ), can you try with the command line :

vlc yourFile.mp3 :sout=#std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=xx.xx.xxx.xxx:8080/test.mp4}

I used to Wireshark to get the PPP logs and it looks like this,

TCP 9919 > 81 [PSH, ACK]
TCP 81 > 9919 [PSH, ACK]
TCP 9919 > 81 [ACK]
TCP 81 > 9919 [PSH, ACK]
TCP 9919 > 81 [ACK]
TCP 81 > 9919 [ACK]
TCP 9919 > 81 [ACK]
........

did you tried vlc yourFile.mp3 :sout=#http{mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.12:8080} ?

Yes I did but it also not working

and with localhost instead of the ip ?

and with localhost instead of the ip ?

there is no problem streaming within the same PC.
I am streaming between a mobile dev and my PC so I can not use localhost.
