Hi all,

do you plan to add a .nsc support (Windows Media Multicast Stream) into the VideoLAN client :?:

Thanks in advance !

From what i understood, these files are encrypted, so i don't think we will crack this soon.

NSC Cracked

DVD Jon has cracked it now.

Could someone get this into the windows version of VLC?

VLC as ASF/WMV multicast server?

With the NSC decoding solved, it shouldn't be very hard to do the reverse operation and encode NSC files, wouldn't this open up for using VLC as an ASF/WMV multicast server for both VLC and Windows Media Player clients? It would be very cool to be able to use VLC as a replacement for Windows Media Services in small installations.

There are still hunderds of things VLC COULD do especially serverside. Thing is, it's a lot of work, so unless you are volunteering, it will stay on a LONG LONG todo list.

NSC Encoding - the plot thickens...

I could look into the NSC encoding, by reverse reverse engineering DVD Jon's code ;-), but I would probably need some help in integrating the ASF/WMV multicast bit, especially the serving of the ASF/WMV "format stream" (where the ASF/WMV multicast stream properties are fetched) I'm not quite sure how this is done in WMS, I guess through HTTP?

Maybe I should tinker with the encoding, and if I ever get that done I could try posting the request again :-)

really interesting topic :)

It could be nice to have a "NSC Generator"... :)
