[sash]

I thought I mention this and and say how cool it is and great significants of it in world wide sence for bringing the world closer together.

that with sat dvb program have bieng able to take a fta sat stream transcode to mpeg4 and stream it any where in the world an watch it in "real time " with the use of VNC you are even able to change channels and such. all I got to say is vlc is very cool

being able to watch live bbc1 from the uk and watch live in north america. very cool

someone must be streaming in the UK using a tv card and then encoding and streaming across external IP network...

I'd love to know how to stream stuff too, or at least find a place that lists streaming servers. Anyone have an address we can all try just to test it out.

http://152.2.63.108:8000/listen.pls here's a streaming radio link that uses streaming mp3 and can be opened in VLC with.

Hmm, video...it's a shame all those broadcasters think they gotta use proprietary formats like Microsoft's or Real's latest codecs. There's lot's of rtsp links out there and vlc would be able to play them if it weren't for the video being in Win/Real/Quicktime formats.

it is pretty easy. all you need is Tsreader or any other dvbsat program that supports network streaming. you configure vlc to recieve these streamed dvb content. then rebroadcast transcoded to what ever quality your bandwidth can handle to your IP on the net transport in udp works the best.

example:
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=128,scale=0.25,acodec=mp3,ab=32,channels=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=123.123.123.123:5000}}

it works well even did dsl to modem connection lately from the UK to canada and it worked reasonably well. to bad vlc does not transcode with framerate reduction it would even be better and easier to make work properly other wise it tends to swamp your network connection. the biggest problem I ran into was that windows xp built in firewall was blocking the incoming video broadcast
