Stream out http with no transcode

[bobdole369]

Hmmm, this used to work! In fact I was streaming http with no transcoding just last week.

Any ideas why I would now get "can't pre-fill buffer" ?

more details to come.

means VLC cannot get any data from the input.

I think I've got it.

I am unable to stream directly out via http because the container formats don't match.

Last week I was streaming a DVD directly. Now I'm attempting to use a Pinnacle HDTV Pro stick's composite input. There is no MPEG encoder on this board so when I go and open a directshow device and set it up, I'm not able to stream. But if I used a DVD as the source, or the ATSC tuner via TSreader - it works OK

Why? - Its because both the DVD and the ATSC tuner are MPEG-TS streams, and the default container format for a no-transcode session is "MPEG-TS". Thus it works fine.

The Directshow device composite input is NOT an MPEG-TS. I did get quite acceptable results with transcoding via mp4v and mpga - at about 4096 kbits rate.

If you get it to work, please post your command line.
