Need Assistance with Streaming
Posted: 11 Apr 2011 18:42
I was looking to use VLC to stream .avi to the web so I've been trying to read and follow the wiki best I can and I ended up using this solution http://wiki.videolan.org/Stream_VLC_to_ ... lash__.flv which is well and good I manage to get my desktop to stream into a FlowPlayer object however there is some hitches, for some reason when you begin the stream it is black for about 2 minutes, then the picture slowly fills after a while you have a picture but it updates extremely slow and despite the slowness of the stream the quality is less then desirable and I've been playing around with the command line I'm using which is:
But I think the crux of the issue is VLC is trying to limit the bandwidth to about 600bytes/second the system I will be doing my streaming on is a Win2k8 server w/ gigabit connection so I'm not really concerned an awful lot about bandwidth usage as I am more so after quality so does anyone have any tips on allowing VLC to utilize more bandwidth to get a nicer / more responsive picture?
