I am having trouble getting my imem module and http live streaming to work for an iPhone client. If I create the stream using the VLC player then everything works fine yet I can't seem to get the right magic working using libvlc. Here are the arguments I am using to create the vlc instance using libvlc:

Code: Select all

--imem-get=1593466112
--imem-release=1593466224
--imem-data=81931184
--imem-width=640
--imem-height=480
--imem-fps="16" 
-vvv
--verbose=2
--imem-id=1
--imem-group=1 
--imem-cat=2
--imem-codec=RV24
--sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=none}:http{dst=:7070/test.ts}
--no-sout-rtp-sap
--no-sout-standard-sap
--ttl=1
--sout-keep
--no-osd
--plugin-path=plugins/vlc
--ffmpeg-hw

I've double checked my sout line with what the vlc player creates and it is the same:

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=none}:http{dst=:7070/test.ts} :no-sout-rtp-sap :no-sout-standard-sap :ttl=1 :sout-keep

I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Looks like I was wrong, can't do it with the player either; at least not until I found this article http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation: ... the_iPhone. This is working however it has a huge latency, I tried reducing the seglen to 1 and numsegs to 5 however there is a 51 second delay from when the iphone sees what the server is showing and maybe I am going about this all the wrong way but is it possible to reduce this latency to be less than a second (testing on wifi right now)?

Me end goal is to achieve something similar to OnLive with my app, is this even possible with VLC or do you think a custom solution would be needed?

Thanks!
