The VideoLAN Forums

I have the following situation: I encode all the video source (5) files to VP8/WEBM files with all the same bitrate at 720p resolution.

I want to broadcast these files over the web (in the same bitrate and format) in WEBM/VP8 file format with some features of vlc (scrolling text etc). A few months ago it was not possible to stream files over the web (http) in realtime (mux=ffmpeg(webm)) in VP8/WEBM with Videolan.

Is there allready an solution to use videolan/vlc as broadcast http stream encoder/broadcaster?

VLC only supports HTTP output for the MPEG-TS format at the moment. While it should be possible to support some other formats, this would require new development.

Thanks, Is there a way now to use VP8/WEBM for a streaming solution (for example rtsp?) ? Or doesn't support VLC no streaming VP8?

If that is possible, can you give a "streaming" example with VP8?

The source files are allready VP8/webm and i hope if i use the same VP8 bitrate (on the destination site) that the CPU usage is low (no transcoding, only the overlays).

It could be done in VLC, but it needs fixing in the avformat muxer and http output, I think.

VP8 over RTSP? That would require VP8 to have an RTP payload format. I could be wrong, but I believe this has not been standardized yet. And in any case, it's not implemented in VLC.

ffmpeg can do webm streaming. You can stream live video using something like VLC > ffmpeg > stream_m.
