hi all.
I'm trying to send my webcam stream to my cell phone through darwin streaming server.
Setup : Windows Vista
VLC 1.0.2
DSS 5.5.5

my batch file to start streaming is : 192.168.1.2 is my laptops ip

I see that webcam.sdp is being created when I start batch file
And my relay settings in darwin streaming server

name : webcam
enabled : true
source hostname or ip : 192.168.1.2
mount point : webcam.sdp
wait for announced streams : selected
destination hostname or ip : 192.168.1.2
announced UDP : webcam.sdp
user and pass are blank

The thing is vlc starts and sends the stream, but I cannot see this at the relay status section in the darwin streaming servers administration panel.
where am I doing wrong ? Please help me I'm really stucked at this point..

Did you solve it? Please share.

It works for me with the same VLC and DSS releases on WinXP and a SonyEricsson C905 with the following batch file:
My VLC and DSS are both on 192.168.0.2. The DSS relay settings are:

Relay name: webcam
Status: Enabled
Source IP: 127.0.0.1
Mount point: left empty
Wait for announced
Dest IP: 127.0.0.1
Announced UDP
Mount point: webcam.sdp
Other fields empty

I note that you specify --sout-transcode-venc="ffmpeg", I am not sure this is necessary. Also you specify --sout-transcode-vb="8000" which I think means 8 megabit/sec which is a bit on the high side, might be your main problem. Otherwise all looks OK as far as I can see.

Also I think that you will not see anything in the DSS relay status screen until you actually start the streaming on your cellphone. If no streaming is active the relay is empty even if VLC is running.
