Invmem or scene options -> streaming

Postby kk_video » 28 Jun 2009 22:07

I'd like to stream(mpeg) some image using vlc, had some problems in the past so i put the idea to sleep for a while.

With the new 1.0 coming up i saw the new invmem fake codec and the schene filter. So i decided to give it a new try.

I can't find some help-files or examples for these options, where to look ?



Greetings,

Kees

I'd be quite curious about that too. Have you found any samples or doc besides the git commit messages and source code comments?
I want to draw something (using cairo or SDL or whatnot) and generate a live, in-memory, MPEG-TS (MPEG-2 video) stream. I've tried with ffmpeg, but it seems defective when it comes to MPEG-TS. I experienced that simply remuxing the TS content generated by ffmpeg with VLC without altering audio/video content fixed problems present in the original content.
I'm guessing my best options would be invmem and vmem. Anyone cares to correct me?
Also, what is the difference between invmem and fake?

Cheers,
Martin
