Stream an Existing MJPEG stream live on YouTube from Windows 7 PC

[jstromsoe]

Ladies and Gents,

First post here, so apologies for any ignorance on my part. Some background. I'm running VLC 2.2.1 on a Windows 7 PC and having some trouble streaming to YouTube. I'd really like to keep all the software I'm using to do this open source rather than give in and download some crazy encoding software off the recommended list on the YouTube site. Hence this message.

I currently have an existing stream local on my network that I'd like to send straight to my Live channel on YouTube. Currently its playing just fine within VLC. It is an MJPEG format, running 25fps at 720p or so. What I've come up with (and is the most simple, direct way to do this that I know about) is to just use the command line and enter:

vlc -vvv http://192.168.2.1:8080/?action=stream --sout '#transcode{vcodec=MJPG,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=none}:std{access=rtmp,mux=mjpeg,dst=rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2:1935/jstromsoe.s840-09gu-62uh-cmbw}'

Feel free to watch the stream ID if I ever get it working! At any rate, can anyone tell me if I have a syntax error or other (I clearly do or it would be working!). Here's the error I get in VLC, which I can seem to figure out why its complaining. It seems to not know how (or not have specified) how to mux an MJPEG stream. Anyhow, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
