save streaming settings

[xeen]

Hi everyone,

I've setup a VLC client and server to stream over LAN and it works. Since I intend to use this setup more often, it would be teriffic to have a shortcut/script that would set up VLC automatically. For the client side, this can simply be done by saving the playlist.

For the server I can save the input via a playlist as well, however I'm having trouble setting up the streaming part. I looked in the long help of command line options and the only options I found for http streaming seem to wrap around SSL protection (I presume). I couldn't find how to setup port, file name for streaming etc.

Have I missed something?

Greetings,
xeen

Did you find a resolution to this at all mate?

I am in exactly the same issues, where I want users to be able to have the setting saved for a stream, and only need to select the file they want to stream. I dont need to keep changing IP address as I am just using the hostname, and the file type will always be mp3 etc.

Let me know or if anyone else know. thanks chris.

You can just use the command line with your setup option and save it as batch/script file. You can copy most input stream with option form setup windows. start with vlc -vvv [your input stream with option].
Mine look like this.
vlc.exe -vvv dshow:// :dshow-vdev="AVerMedia Hybrid TV Video Capture" :dshow-adev="Line In (5- High Definition Audio Device)" :live-caching=3000 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=280,scale=0.5,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=22050}:http{mux=ts,dst=:8081/} :ttl=11 :sout-keep

this will auto stream form my capture card through http port 8081 using h264/mpga (encap with MPEG-TS).

... 8 years later, I have the same issue: is there a quick way to save the specs of LAN streaming to a shortcut to start broadcasting when starting VLC?
I appreciate your help!
