stream to darwin stopped working

[sjensen]

Hi all... here at work, I have the luxury of one play around machine to test stuff on. A few weeks ago, I had VLC and Darwin Streaming Server working together nicely, and was able to broadcast live from my webcam via darwin.

Had to re-do the machine to setup a kiosk, so now I've tried duplicating my setup and now the streaming does not work.

Here's the script that starts my stream:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash SDP=$1 INPUT=`echo v4l:// :v4l-vdev=/dev/video0 :size=640x480 :v4l-adev=/dev/dsp :v4l-norm=3 :v4l-frequency=-1` OUTPUT=`echo '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=800}:rtp{dst=172.16.128.200,port=1234,sdp=file:///usr/local/movies/SDP}' | sed s/SDP/$1/g` vlc -v -I dummy v4l:/dev/video0:size=640x480 --no-audio --sout $OUTPUT

This script used to work fine, but now I'm getting a lot of connection refused errors.

Code: Select all

[00000323] access_output_udp private warning: send error: Connection refused

Any ideas? I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 with the .deb from the nightly server.

Welp, after spending a lot of time with some folks in IRC, I'm starting over. All I can think is that I forgot something somewhere... guess I should start taking notes of working setups huh?

AAAARGH!

It was working the whole darn time. I re-did the system,and for giggles, tried some of the sample movies that DSS ships with - couldn't see 'em on my client system (also ubuntu). Switched to a windows box for the client, and it works.

So now the mystery is ... "What happened to my computer while I was on vacation?". Haven't done any apt-get upgrades, etc.... oh well.

Could you explain which configuration you put in Darwin please, I'm fighting to get this things working with a distant darwin server (on which I have full control)
Thanks,
