Streaming lossless audio

[Howard]

Folks,

I need to stream (and play) lossless audio via vlc. The preference is to stream a wav file containg pcm audio data but any lossless encoding (such as flac) would be fine.

Any ideas?

I thought I saw flac streaming in 0.7.0-test1 but I haven't been able to get that to work.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Regards,

Howard

The development version of VLC supports FLAC streaming over http (inside an Ogg container). You need a pretty recent version though.

Try this one:

Thanks for the reply. Interesting but we stream via multicast hance a solution incolving TCP won'stream won't work....

How difficult would ity be to mux a FLAC stream into a ts stream and stream it via the sout option?

Thanks.

Try the rtp features in 0.7.0-test1, I think they support pcm streaming (at least it is possible with rtp)

be aware that this is new functionality that is undocumented, unimplemented in the GUI and untested.
