The VideoLAN Forums

Hi I'm currently working on an application which reads blocks of data from an AVI file in form of Memory stream then sends it to a client piece by piece. The client computer then assembles the pieces over time and recreates the AVI file very much like a File transfer. Now I have been dying to find a solution to use the blocks of video data and play them using some method, kind of like a buffer system. Can videoLan play raw memory streams? Also when the client receives the data and recreates it slowly if only 10MB have been created from 700mb, I'm able to use that small 10mb file to view the first 3 minutes of the video through Classical Media player but anywhere else even in VLC it says the Video cannot be played.

VLC can play raw streams yes.

Can you give me an example how to play raw stream?

Hello, I have the same problem ...

My app reads a video fie in a MemoryStream object in C#

Can you give me a sample of code that i have to implement, in this situation, to play that video ???

Tnx!!!

Use the imem_access module to push data inside VLC.

Hi,

There is a common approach to play video from any stream (memory stream or any other), this is a virtualization. The idea is to create a pseudofile those Read/Write/Seek methods are redirected to appropriate stream methods.

For example, here about playing video from encrypted source using a stream: http://boxedapp.com/encrypted_video_streaming.html
