The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

I have a Windows PC and a Linux server running Darwin Streaming Server 5.5.5. I want to stream video (from my webcam) + audio (from my microphone) to the server. The broadcast should be available from any client by connecting to the server using rtsp. It works well on Macintosh using Quicktime broadcaster, however, I don't know how to do the same with VLC on Windows. Could anyone help me ?

Thanks !

No one ? I tried many options but it does not work!

Here is my batch script :

call "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe" dshow:// --sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=60.6,fps=15,width=320,height=240,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=9.5,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:rtp{dst=ip_of_my_dss_server,mux=ts,ttl=10,name="Webcam",description="MPEG-4 Webcam",sdp=rtsp://ip_of_my_dss_server:554/mystream.sdp}

up

you could check http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation: ... ile_Phones howto send stream toward dss and steps for it.

Also those transcoding-settings are kinda optimistic, eg I don't believe you could archive that low bitrate on that fps/resolution.

I was trying the same thing with the DSS on a MAC. Did you get it working ?

I see many threads regarding streaming and relaying via Darwin /DSS, can someone fill me in why?
What is it that vlc can't and Darwin can??
