VLM and streaming multiple file

Postby linuxrocks » 11 Apr 2007 07:36

I am trying to stream multiple videos using VLM. I am trying to use the following configuration file

Code: Select all

blade16-vm1:~ $ cat vlc.cfg new channel1 broadcast enabled setup channel1 input /root/video_1172_128.wmv setup channel1 output #standard{mux=ogg,access=http,url=blade16-vm1:80,name="Channel 1"} new channel2 broadcast enabled setup channel2 input /root/video_1359_128.wmv setup channel2 output #standard{mux=ogg,access=http,url=blade16-vm1:80,name="Channel 2"} control channel1 play control channel2 play
When I run vlc, I see the following

Code: Select all

VLC media player 0.8.6a Janus [00000285] main interface: creating VLM [00000300] [Media: channel1] main private: creating httpd [00000285] telnet interface: using the VLM interface plugin... [00000285] telnet interface: telnet interface started on interface 4212 [00000308] [Media: channel1] mux_ogg private: Open [00000307] [Media: channel2] access_output_http private error: cannot add stream / [00000306] [Media: channel2] stream_out_standard private error: no suitable sout access module for `http/ogg://blade16-vm1:80' [00000305] [Media: channel2] main stream output error: stream chain failed for `standard{mux=ogg,access=http,url=blade16-vm1:80,name=Channel 2}' [00000304] [Media: channel2] main input error: cannot start stream output instance, aborting
When I connect using a vlc player, I can only see the first channel. How do I stream multiple files using a single VLC over http ?

TIA

I changed the config file to this, now I can access the two streams separately.

Code: Select all

new channel1 broadcast enabled setup channel1 input /root/video_1172_128.wmv setup channel1 output #standard{mux=ts,access=http,url=blade16-vm1:80/stream1,name="Channel 1"} new channel2 broadcast enabled setup channel2 input /root/v.wmv setup channel2 output #standard{mux=ts,access=http,url=blade16-vm1:80/stream2,name="Channel 2"} control channel1 play control channel2 play

name=" " is only useful for SAP announces (which you're not using). So you can remove that part.

do you know if i can use a similar configuration file, or do you have any example of configuration doing the same thing but using RTSP instead of http?

I am able to stream multiple files using the config file posted above. But, there seems to be a limit on number of files I can stream this way. I want to have 1000 or more videos to be streamed simultaneously. How do I achieve this ?

Do you have enough bandwidth to stream 1000 video at the same time?

what is the limit of streams?

or rather how many can you have in your braodcast section ready to play via the scheduling?

so since # 1 broadcast input is a live feed which will just stop at times thats great.

but how many inputs can you have in there?

and how many scheduled evnts can you have?

thanks
