Alright guys I'm feeling pretty dumb... I can get VLC to stream to other VLC players but I can't get it to play in a web page no matter how many different ways I do it.
VLC stream settings;
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100,scodec=none}:http{mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=:8080/} :no-sout-all :sout-keep
html code attempted;
first attempt;
<video controls>
<source src="http://localhost:8080" type="video/mp4">
</video>
second attempt;
<video id="video" src="http://localhost:8080/stream" type="video/mp4" autoplay="autoplay"/>
third attempt;
vlc;
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=theo,vb=800,acodec=vorb,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100,scodec=none}:http{mux=ogg,dst=:8080/} :no-sout-all :sout-keep
html;
<video width="700" src="http://127.0.0.1:8080" autoplay type="video/ogg; codecs=theora"></video>
Every one of these results in a media container in the web page that spins for a moment when you click play and then the play button grays out..... I'm not sure what the solution here is. Hoping somebody can assist....
Thank you in advance!
