The VideoLAN Forums

Well, I can say i searched all the posts but have not found the exact answer. Here's my issue:
I can set up VLC to Steam Audio to my Driod via local or internet.
Once I connect to the stream with the Driod, no problem, i get my audio using the http type of format.
Once I disconnect from the stream with my driod, my pc that is streaming the live audio from my input port stops streaming.
I have reviewed reconnect commands and repeat commands but cannot make sense of them.
I need a better explaination to get this to reconnect to my Droid in case i loose my network connect and need to re-establish a connection.
Thanks in advance for help.

I stream to my droid using flash.

edit..

if you click on the links in my sig, you'll see i use a combination of flow player to do it.

i reread your thread.. my way is a little complicated.. but this is how i do it:

vlc on my windows machines sending UDP -> vlc on server takes UDP strings turns it into -> vlc on server side flash stream.

i can post some examples if you like.

Well, i like your idea and will continue to read your post...it is a lot to absorb right now.

I put the VLC Media player on another local client in my Wi Fi Network. when I connect to the stream I hear the audio like I should. When I disconnect, it still keeps the stream-streaming...so it appears the application on the Drioid, when I actually exit the application, also instructs the vlc media stream to stop.

The quick solution was to load on the android-vnc-connect application and launch a remote desktop session and just restart the VLC Media Stream.
that works great and takes little time.

My last hurdle is to see if I can stream using the rtsp format. I have tried every combination to stream to the droid and can't get it to work. I am doing that because i was hoping for a shorter latency. I have it down to about 15 seconds. On my other pc it is immediate-you can hardly notice any delay.
I was wondering how low I could get the latency with a different protocal other than streaming using http.

Thank you in advance for the other suggestions!

latency will most likely be your biggest issue.

maybe switching to UDP instead of http?

can the droid do udp?
I tried and cant get it to work...if it can work how do you set that up?

not sure.. my out put to flow player is http.
