streaming on webpage using VLC?

Hi
I hope I can get some help here... this is my story:

There is a tv channel which I want to stream live on a webpage. After some research I decided to use the graphic card Osprey-210 to capture the tv channel from a satellite reciever, and then send this capture to a streaming webpage. The problem is that I don't know how to send the captured video on the video card to a webpage.

Can I use this with VLC?

this is what I think I can do with VLC: I tell VLC that the video source is my video card, Osprey-210 and start streaming...but how can I put this streaming on a webpage so that everybody can view it? what do I need to do in this whole process?

This is how I think the video from tv channel goes the way to my webpage to get streamed:
Satellite TV ----> Ospray-210 ----> Encoder (microsoft or Adobe or VLC ?) ----> Server (do I need one, and if yes, what server?) ----> my webpage

is this the correct way?

I am really lost at this, I have no clue how to do this... Or is there any other feasible way to do the whole thing?

My regards and appreciation for anyone who helps

You either add Flash player or some other embedded player (VLC, WMP, QuickTime etc.) to your webpage. And to parameters of that player, you add access method and IP address of that computer.

For streaming you can use HTTP, and you could then start VLC with following parameters
vlc DSHOW-OPTIONS :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:8080}

and to the web page you would something like

Code: Select all

<OBJECT id="VIDEO" width="320" height="240" style="position:absolute; left:0;top:0;" CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" type="application/x-oleobject"> <PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="http://YOURMACHINE:8080"> <PARAM NAME="SendPlayStateChangeEvents" VALUE="True"> <PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="True"> <PARAM name="uiMode" value="none"> <PARAM name="PlayCount" value="9999"> </OBJECT>
