Streaming from VLC to a set top box

Postby george_mac_user » 27 Dec 2004 18:21

Could anyone tell me how to set up my system to receive a stream (sent from VLC on a mac, TS file) on a Pace set top box. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have done this on a Netgem i-player. Start an HTTP stream on the serving end and type http://server-ip:1234 into the web access page of the STB.
I am assuming here that the Pace STB can access URLs...

Cheers, 7&Y

I succeeded to stream on a Pace DSL 4000 but with VLS
the STB is able of RTSP urls.
I started the VLS with
vls -d udp:multicast-address:port file:file-to-stream.mpg -ttl 2 -loop

then on the STB in the javascript code you must use the mediactrl object:

The MediaCtrl object is a specific Javascript object of the Pace set-top-box . It allows to controls the video stream as it is implemented with RTSP controls. But the streaming is done on multicast and the server does not support the RTSP. Hopefully, the MediaCtrl also supports IGMP. The three mains functionalities are load, unload and play:
- load: It sends a IGMP join request to a multicast group. The group is specified by the multicast address.
- play: Starts the decoding of the MPEG-2 stream.
- unload: Stops the decoding of the MPEG stream and send a request leave to the multicast group.

if you need more info give your mail in your PM, I made a whole project about it, I ld give you the detailed project if you want.
