The VideoLAN Forums

I asked in another forum....but got no response

I was looking to developing streaming of video from remote pc to iPhone, I saw VideoLAN as possible solution...

I want to stream "video" to an iPhone, the reason I use quotes around video, is that I want to be agnostic about the ultimate source of the image frames.

Something like this...

(source of image stream...could be video file or could be some other source, like cam video feed)-----> send stream to iphone, iphone treats stream like it would frames of video, and plays them.

Would I be able to use VideoLAN for such a scenario?

Yes, but only VLC 1.2.0-git versions.

I would also like to stream an image, as in a simple .jpg file. I can do it via the GUI (VLC 1.1.6 on Windows XP) if I click the loop button. How can I do it using the command line?
I tried this:
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vvv --loop "C:\Video Files\stillPicture.jpg" --sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=300,fps=30,width=416,height=240,acodec=none}:rtp{dst=172.99.140.142,port=5004,mux=ts} --no-sout-rtp-sap --no-sout-standard-sap --sout-all --ttl=1 --sout-keep
