Well it's working
it's just that every time someone comes on the IRC channel and finds the solution ... they somehow forget to write a page on the wiki explaining how to do it. If i remember, i'll look in my logs when i get back from work and paste the intersting parts here.

Here are all the logs i have where aCiD2 talks. He's the one who finaly got the stream running. I'll let you find the intersting bits and pieces (i don't have time to sort it out). If you get it to work, please write a wiki page
(
http://wiki.videolan.org )
Code: Select all
21:36 < Trax``> well I've been clueless for weeks now
21:36 < Trax``> but at least the ffmpeg problem with ldflags seems fixed now
21:36 < Trax``> so I should be able to use ffmpeg svn and x264 svn together in v
lc, now all I need is a version that has a gui :)
21:40 < j-b> feepk_: If you got some advice :p

21:48 < aCiD2> Hi all
21:49 < aCiD2> I'm trying to stream to an Icecast server with VLC, just audio in
mp3 format on windows xp - is that possible?
21:49 < aCiD2> I haven't had any luck yet
21:49 < dionoea> oy
21:49 < aCiD2> Was hoping someone could lend a hand, point me to some links - an
ything like that
21:49 < dionoea> it might be possible ... (not sure though)
21:49 < dionoea> did you look at the forums ?
21:49 < xtophe> adn: is it jlj feed or planet.v.o or both which are brocken

21:50 < aCiD2> dionoea, only one that had people attempting it, but with no succ

21:50 < dionoea> :/
21:50 < dionoea> what sout chain are you trying to use ?
21:51 < aCiD2> :sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{
access=http,mux=ts,dst=outfit.datacartage.com/stream.ogg:8000}} is it all, but t
he url is broken there
21:51 < aCiD2> and I don't know where to enter my user name/password for the ser
ver
21:51 < xtophe> adn: hmm might be bloglines
21:52 < xtophe> you need access=shout
21:52 < aCiD2> "Use '#shout{url=user:password@server_host:server_port/mountpoint
}' " - seems promising
21:52 < aCiD2> yea
21:53 < dionoea> remove duplicate
21:53 < dionoea> and replace it with shout{....}
21:53 < dionoea> see what that does

21:54 < aCiD2> ok
21:54 < aCiD2> will try
21:54 < puntloos> call abbey road if it works
21:54 < xtophe> dionoea: do we really have shout{} i thought it was std{acess=s
hout, ...}
21:54 < dionoea> and since you'll want to stream a playlist and not just one fil
e (i guess), change :sout to --sout and add --sout-keep at the end of the line
21:55 < dionoea> xtophe: i'll check
21:55 < aCiD2> dionoea, no - I'm streaming one file - cause Traktor is writing t
hat file constantly
21:55 < aCiD2> so that's ok
21:55 -!- Inf3rn0 [n=straaleo@084202096016.customer.alfanett.no] has joined #Vid

21:55 < aCiD2> but icecast doesn't have a user name, just a password - how would
I put that in the url?
21:55 < xtophe> j-b: i really don't understand why jpsaman need ffmpeg-install.p
atch
21:56 < dionoea> xtophe: hum, indeed
21:56 < aCiD2> are there any docs on the shout{} segment thing?
21:56 < Trax``> dionoea: what happens if the user or pass has a @ sign
21:56 -!- DanBrwn [n=d84d3a28@krishna.via.ecp.fr] has quit ["CGI:IRC"]
21:57 < aCiD2> Well, docs on :sout would be good
21:57 < Trax``> was it read backwords?
21:57 < xtophe> Trax``: it don't
21:57 < dionoea> aCiD2: :sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:std{acces
s=shout{mp3},dst=user:password@server:port/mountpoint} maybe
21:57 < Trax``> test:myp@ss@server_host..
21:58 < dionoea> i guess that you're doomed :)
21:58 < aCiD2> dionoea, yea - but there is no user (sorry if i'm misunderstandin
g)
21:58 < dionoea> well the shoutcast server has a user authorized no ?
21:58 < Trax``> maybe it's guest then or something
21:58 < dionoea> it doesn't let anyone push a stream in does it ?
21:58 < aCiD2> all the commands I see use a user "videosource" so maybe it's aud
iosource
21:58 < aCiD2> dionoea, you give a password - but no username
21:58 < aCiD2> so I guess it's audiostream
21:58 < dionoea> ok :)
21:59 < aCiD2> testing anyhow :)
22:00 < dionoea> example in the source file is:
22:00 < dionoea> * vlc v4l:/dev/video:input=2:norm=pal:size=192x144 \
22:00 < dionoea> * --sout '#transcode{vcodec=theora,vb=300,acodec=vorb,ab=96}\
22:00 < dionoea> * :std{access=shout,mux=ogg,dst=localhost:8005}'
22:00 < aCiD2> no password at all? o.O
22:00 < dionoea> i don't know what the mux should be with mp3
22:00 < dionoea> maybe try adding mux=ogg (since you can mux mp3 in ogg)
22:01 < aCiD2> "stream_out_standard error: no suitable sout access module for `s
hout{mp3}/ogg://audiosourcer:trancemusic@outfit.datacartage.com:8000/stream.ogg'
22:01 < aCiD2> Does that mean I don't have the shout module enabled in my build?
22:01 < dionoea> are you on windows ?
22:01 < aCiD2> yea
22:01 < dionoea> what vlc version ?
22:01 < aCiD2> 0.8.5-test2

22:03 < xtophe> aCiD2: start by getting 0.8.5 final

output :)
22:03 < aCiD2> dionoea, I'll just pastebin

22:03 < aCiD2> http://paste.videolan.org
22:03 < aCiD2> sorry, too lazy to copy and patse
22:04 < madman1234> i'm using 0.8.5 on ubuntu and get this error when I try and
stream using mp3 audio: ffmpeg encoder error: cannot find encoder MPEG Audio lay
er 1/2/3
22:04 < dionoea> ubuntu does build the mp3 encoder due to licensing problems
22:05 < dionoea> you have to get a build from http://nightlies.videolan.org or b
uild VLC yourslef
22:05 < madman1234> so i have to recompile vlc?
22:05 < dionoea> "does not"
22:05 < madman1234> i'm using the one from nightlies
22:05 < aCiD2> http://paste.videolan.org/217

22:05 < aCiD2> it says login failed though...
22:05 < dionoea> madman1234: well then ask adn :) he does those builds
22:05 < aCiD2> so i guess it's not audiosource
22:05 < Trax``> cannot prefill buffer is no input
22:05 < aCiD2> oh?
22:05 < dionoea> could you increase verbosity to "2" in the prefs and try again
?
22:05 < aCiD2> it works if I tick play local
22:06 < dionoea> login failed seems more problematic to me :)
22:06 < madman1234> should i pvt him?
22:06 < dionoea> madman1234: you can beep him here
22:06 < Trax``> but cannot prefill comes first?
22:06 < madman1234> what's that mean
22:06 < aCiD2> sorry, where is verbosity? I checked under logging, but can't fin
d it there...
22:07 < dionoea> Trax``: it does, but that shouldn't have any influence on the l
ogin
22:07 < dionoea> aCiD2: in the prefs, "Interface"
22:07 < aCiD2> ah yea, thank you
22:07 < dionoea> but the problem definitively seems to be due to missing login:p
ass@
22:08 < aCiD2> dionoea, same error, minus the input error
22:08 < dionoea> btw, if you ever get it to work, please add a small howto on ht
tp://Wiki.videolan.org and paste a small reply to the forum messages :)
22:08 < aCiD2> so it must be the username
22:08 < aCiD2> back to google
22:08 < aCiD2> will do! :)
22:08 < madman1234> i tried building vlc but could'nt get a gui to show up

--
17:15 < thedj> oh. that i don't know
17:15 < thedj> Trax``: how come things like that are not in trac ?
17:16 < Trax``> because I was doing some reading on QTP limitations and bond pos
ted somewhere there is a strange sdtp atom written which isn't needed in mp4 but
was there when created with QT tools
17:19 < thedj> basically, we do SPS, replace first 4 bytes. and then we add thos
e 4 bytes AGAIN i think...
17:21 < thedj> damn i wish pengvado was here now...
17:21 < aCiD2> No ideas about shoutcasting then?
17:22 < Trax``> aCiD2: have you tried the forums?
17:22 < aCiD2> yup, nothing on shoutcast - just icecast
17:22 * thedj is too busy
17:22 < xtophe> aCiD2: give more info
17:22 < aCiD2> Ok
17:22 < aCiD2> one moment
17:23 < aCiD2> So basically, I have a shoutcast server at 87.117.193.144:9194/.
I want to stream a wav file in VLC, to this server
17:23 < aCiD2> Here's my sout url:
17:24 < aCiD2> :sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:std{access=shout{m
p3},dst=source:passwordhere@ 87.117.193.144:9194/,mux=ogg}
17:24 < aCiD2> But, this gives errors, which I'll just pop in a pastebin
17:25 < Trax``> the one I noticed in forum that worked for icecast had mux=mpeg1
and no {mp3} inside the access=shout part
17:25 < Trax``> but I never tried that myself ..
17:26 < aCiD2> That sout has worked for Icecast fine n dandy
17:26 < Trax``> and wasn't there some default uesrname for shoutcast?
17:26 < aCiD2> What's throwing me is... I don't know the username for shoutcast,
and I don't know the mountpoint (it seems to be just /)

11:55 < aCiD2> Trax|wrk, I guess I'm gonna need to grab mingw32?
11:55 < Trax|wrk> I have a private build
11:55 < courmisch> but it really looks like a crappy Winsock implementation
11:56 < Elemmire> damn
11:56 < aCiD2> Trax|wrk, if you don't mind sending it over, that'd be great
11:56 < Trax|wrk> http://www.firstmiletv.nl/vlc/win32/vlc-0.8.6-svn-win32-16255-
shout2.zip
11:56 < Elemmire> I don't have a lot experience with winapi
11:57 < aCiD2> Thanks Trax|wrk, on it's way now
11:57 < Trax|wrk> could you test that? that is a svn 16255 with debug, latest co
ntrib and also has qt4 compiled (although not very functional)
11:57 < aCiD2> Can indeed
11:58 < Trax|wrk> that should have the protocol=icy thing .. hope that works for
ya, I also noticed shout uses format ogg and I think that needs to be changed t
o vorbis
11:58 -!- cypheon [n=cypheon@pD9513BEF.dip.t-dialin.net] has quit ["leaving"]
11:58 < aCiD2> no, it used ogg as the container
11:58 < aCiD2> If you're talking about my previous sout?
11:59 < Trax|wrk> not the actual mux but the shoutcast API needs to set either S
HOUT_FORMAT_MP3 or VORBIS and it uses OGG now
11:59 < aCiD2> Oh, I see
11:59 < Trax|wrk> could be that's downwards compatible though, but I couldn't ge
t vlc with ogg mux working with shoutcast
12:01 < xtophe> Trax|wrk: you know that you can launch a nightly if you want
12:01 < aCiD2> No go yet, but I do have the icy protocol
12:02 < aCiD2> I'll paste my messages
12:02 < aCiD2> http://rafb.net/paste/results/H4e3sx89.html
12:06 < Trax|wrk> maybe standard instead of std?
12:07 < Meuuh> xtophe : just missed the shift key
12:07 < aCiD2> as in, :standard?
12:07 < aCiD2> Cause that didn't work :(

12:15 < xtophe> aCiD2: could you try a mount point not finishing by .mp3
12:16 < aCiD2> Sure
12:16 < Trax|wrk> aCiD2: could you try this version: http://www.firstmiletv.nl/v
lc/win32/vlc-0.8.6-svn-win32-16255-shout.zip
12:16 < Trax|wrk> so shout instead of shout2
12:16 < xtophe> it seems it take it to determine the mux rather than mux=mpeg1
12:16 < Trax|wrk> think I goofed up too many settings with my 2nd compile
12:16 < Trax|wrk> (metadata)
12:18 < aCiD2> Trying...
12:18 < aCiD2> Works!
12:18 < aCiD2> HOT DAYAM!
12:19 < Trax|wrk> that one works eh?
12:19 < aCiD2> Yups :)
12:19 < Trax|wrk> ok I did something wrong in shout2 then trying to add all sort

12:19 < Trax|wrk> you'll notice the bitrate says 0 kbps
12:20 < Trax|wrk> this should work in the upcoming nightly too, perhaps I can te
ll it to try icecast protocol first, if it fails try shoutcast

12:20 < Elekchron> everytime i open it
12:20 < Elekchron> it just automaticly closes after i open it
12:21 < xtophe> Elekchron: OS ?
12:21 < aCiD2> Elekchron, opened it from a shell?
12:21 < Elekchron> and sometimes i get the error that says problem and send repo

22:13 < thedj> ok
22:13 < gibalou> p_block->p_buffer++ for the 1 byte skipping
22:14 < thedj> and i_buffer--
22:14 < thedj> now i remember
22:15 < thresh> re
22:16 < aCiD2> trax, great news
22:16 < thedj> gibalou: if i understand the h264 part of the packetizer, it migh
t not see 00 00 00 as an endcode, but include the 0's up untill the 00 00 01 ?
22:16 < aCiD2> Trax``, even
22:16 < Trax``> heya .. care to test another version?
22:17 < gibalou> thedj: yeah, it splits things up at 00 00 01 boundaries
22:17 < thedj> gibalou: ok, i need to rewrite some stuff here then i gather...
22:17 < aCiD2> Trax``, as always ;)
22:17 < thedj> cause this seems all broken
22:17 < Trax``> aCiD2: http://www.firstmiletv.nl/vlc/win32/vlc-0.8.6-svn-win32-s
hout11.zip
22:18 < aCiD2> on its way now
22:18 < Trax``> try {mp3,bitrate=64,url="http://www.yourhappyplace.com",genre="w
hatever"}
22:18 < aCiD2> no mountpounts?
22:18 < Trax``> just your usual setup
22:19 < aCiD2> Righto
22:19 < Trax``> no need to select protocol
22:19 < aCiD2> is that url the url of the radio, or the url of anything?
22:19 < Trax``> if you run it with --extraintf logger -vvv
22:19 < aCiD2> ie, the radios website is at a different irl
22:19 < Trax``> no just anything, informational
22:19 < aCiD2> thought so
22:19 < thedj> gibalou: do you understand this?: "the byte stream NAL unit synta
x structure contains the first NAL unit of an access unit in decoding order ??
22:19 < aCiD2> can't you extract the bitrate from the sout?
22:19 < Trax``> the bitrate is informational too but required if you want public
22:19 < aCiD2> Ok
22:19 < Trax``> no unfortunately the shout module doesn't have access to codec s
tuff
22:19 < aCiD2> Ah, ok
22:20 < Trax``> but using ogg streaming to icecast that server does extract it f
rom the stream, just not for mp3
22:20 < E-bola> trax: did u put ur stuff on wiki yet?
22:20 < E-bola> if not its useless :)
22:20 < Trax``> and there's still some minor thing to fix, you have to specify b
itrate (if you leave it out shout fails)
22:20 < Trax``> E-bola: some stuff to fix and figure out first
22:21 < Trax``> I also noticed the encoder goes crazy when the server resets, it
gets stuck in an endless "cannot write to stream" loop
22:22 < aCiD2> Ok, time to give this a shot
22:22 < Trax``> aCiD2: and I'm not sure if shoutcast supports ogg, I can't get t
hat working
22:22 < aCiD2> I don't need ogg
22:22 < aCiD2> ogg was just the fix thing that worked when I was doing icecast
22:22 < E-bola> think shoutcast is mp3 or aac only

22:29 < aCiD2> "access_output_shout warning: failed to connect to server, switch

22:29 < aCiD2> " is probably your man
22:30 < Trax``> yup that was the one
22:30 < aCiD2> :)
22:30 < Trax``> took me a while to figure out the stream had to be closed first
to change that protocol setting
22:31 < Trax``> setting public should work too now
22:31 < aCiD2> public?
22:32 < Trax``> {mp3, public, bitrate=64 etc.
22:32 < aCiD2> yea, but what does public mean?
22:32 < Trax``> yellow pages stuff you can find in winamp for example
22:32 < aCiD2> ahh
22:36 < thedj> oh crap !
22:36 < gibalou> thedj: the problem is definitely that ffmpeg thinks the data is
avc
22:36 < thedj> gibalou: decoder is loaded BEFORE the packetizer ?
22:37 < gibalou> ah probably :)
22:37 < thedj> gibalou: causing the old extradata to be read.

streaming mp3 to it is easy and works fine. I have had it working no problems.
I have even got it to send a video stream via it using theora and vorbis but the quality is unwatchable.
Here is the line i used for video.
vlc -vv mmsh://source stream:16780 :sout="#transcode{vcodec=theora,vb=256,scale=1,acodec=vorbis,ab=32,channels=1}:std{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:password@localhost:8000/listen}" -I dummy
just remove the video parts for audio.
anyone know how to make the video work properly ? or ifits even suupported ?
