[Debian] Do I need to install ffmpeg for transcoding?
Posted: 06 Sep 2009 09:02
Hi. I am a user of Debian GNU/Linux and I am trying to stream music files from my Debian box using VLC. Since some of my music files are in *.mp3 and some of them are in *.wav format, I wish to transcode all of them to MP3 in 64kbps.
The command I executed is:
However, when I try to listen the stream on client using VLC as media player, the media information shown that the bitrate of stream is still 320kbps (the original bitrate of the MP3 file). In addition, the *.wav files seem not being streamed.
I wonder if the problem caused by missing packages on my system? But even I apt-get install ffmpeg (the command to install ffmpeg in Debian), the transcoding still didn't work.
Could someone give me some suggestions? Thanks.
VLC (no X support) package in Debian:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/vlc-nox
ffmpeg package in Debian:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/ffmpeg
The command I executed is:
Code: Select all
vlc Music/* --random --loop --sout 'standard{access=http,mux=ts,ab=64,aenc=ffmpeg,dst=192.168.8.20:8000}' -I dummy --sout-keep
