The VideoLAN Forums

Hi! New to webstreaming and I'm trying to figure out a few things. I'd appreciate any help I can get!!!!

I'm trying to stream video at my church. As a start, we picked up a server and have it at a Colo (for bandwidth) with the website on it. We have a webcam going in the church and that's working well and we're recording the sermons. I'd like to stream live, however I have no clue how to push the signal to the web server at the colo. The video card is an ATI All-In-Wonder. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Hello!

I can tell you how we setup streams and broadcast live events or shows. We simply plug in the camera and the microphone into the Windows XP system. It connects to our FMS server and this way we broadcast to an unlimited number of people, video and audio in FULL SCREEN mode. I think this is the solution you are searching for. You can't imagine how easy it is. Please contact me for further details.

The harder we work the luckier we get!
Thank you

have a read thru this:

and particularly this part:

now the server u have... is it a windows machine... or a *nix box?

if windows... go to Open Capture Device... under video device name and audio device name... just do "refresh list" and select ur camera/input card... now click on advanced options to modify settings... then once uve done that... look on the bottom where it says advanced option and select stream/save... then click on settings and muck around till you get it right

hope that helps

ha ha ..first of all ..welcome ...

second ...state your problem (or say request) as detail as possible ..give more background ..o/s used ...windows? Unix?

Let me try to answer your question as follows:-

1. in VLC, select "webcam" as source, select "http" as stream out format.
2. in your web page, embed vlc ActiveX , use src="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.:yy" where the ip+port is waht u set in step 1)

that's it !!!

i believe he's already solved his problem
