[Windows] VLC live streaming to Darwin?

[lordzoster]

Hallo
i'm arranging to feed a remote QTSS/Darwin (hosted on Dreamhost.com) with a video stream captured by a webcam installed on the windows machine running VLC.
The main requirement is an .SDP file: could anyone show me how to create it?
Thanks!

Hi, I´m with the same problem, but the access to my origine video come from a multicast SDP file. I´m trying to transcode a transmission to another with a lower bitrate and save a SDP in the Darwin Streaming Server.

The code that I´m using in the command-line is this:

vlc.exe \
-vvv \
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/canal1.sdp \
--sout "#transcode:rtp" \
--sout-transcode-vcodec="h264" \
--sout-transcode-vb="96" \
--sout-transcode-scale="1" \
--sout-transcode-acodec="mp4a" \
--sout-transcode-ab="32" \
--sout-rtp-dst="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" \
--sout-rtp-ttl="127" \
--sout-rtp-sdp="file://C:/Progra~1/Darwin~1/Movies/canal1_128kbit.sdp" \

When I access the SDP file "canal1_128kbit.sdp" with a Quicktime or VLC player, only the audio play and not transcoded, but it is like the original codec and bitrate.

Any suggestion?

To the previous post, I found this link:

hallo
thanks for the links, i'll have a look at (even it's not clear to me the meaning of all those "\"-ending lines, are they vlc's switches separators?).
For the video question: i suggest you to make use of mp4v codec, switch
--sout-transcode-vcodec="mp4v"

(quite like in apple mailing list link you posted).

Well, I deleted all the "\" and put the all the code in the same line (the original code where i took the mine had the "\" too).
In my case I tried the mp4v too, but I had a problem with "2 frames with the same PTS", according the debug window.

Thanks,

Fred
