The VideoLAN Forums

Good evening all,

Has anyone gotten a successfull combination of "Encapulation Option" and "Transcoding Methods" to work to be able to receive a stream in Windows Mobile 5 (WM5)?

WM5 comes with Media Player 10 which can stream http:// and mms:// as well as a Streaming Media player that can do rtsp://. I have tried countless combinations, none of which work.

I know such things are possible since windows media encoder can stream to http:// and mms:// and WM5 can pick this stream up perfectly.

Thanks!

I could stream from VLC on PC to VLC for WINCE. Streaming via http works fine, I tried rtsp as well but that failed.
Here is an example of the parameters of VLC on PC: I'm very interested in developing a new VLC for WinCE version. I just managed to build a new toolchain and will post a separate thread on that later.

Give a try to Coreplayer:
vlc yourplaylistfile -I http --daemon --sout-keep --sout '#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=1024,width=320,height=240}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:1234}}'

yeup

I have posted a similar question in the VLC stream-output (sout) forum under the title
"Windows Mobile 5.0 can't pull stream from VLC"

According to the "VideoLAN Streaming Howto" Chapter 4, streaming to Windows Media Player is simple:

in the Stream output Dialog use Output method = MMSH and Encapsulation method = ASF
Windows Media Player can then pull a stream with the following URL: mms://server_ip_address:port

But this does not work with Windows Media Player 10 Mobile running under Windows Mobile 5.0

WMP 10 Mobile certainly behaves different than regular WMP. You can see that when you use it together with Windows Media Encoder instead of VLC

With WMP the URL syntax is: mms://server_ip_address:port

with WMP 10 Mobile you have to use: mms://server_ip_address:port/* note the asterik

I hope you find this useful

Regards
