Streaming to HTML5

Need help creating a stream to HTML5

I use this line:

--sout '#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=150,acodec=mp4a,ab=50,mono,channels=1}:standard{mux=ts,dst=:8484/iDreamX_Stream.mp4,access=http}' --sout-transcode-width=320

I can receive this stream without problems using VLC:

Code: Select all

http://192.168.1.2:8484/iDreamX_Stream.mp4

But it doesn't work using this html code (Safari)
It keeps "Loading..."

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
  <source src="http://192.168.1.2:8484/iDreamX_Stream.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

</body>
</html>

Can anybody see what is wrong here?
Thanks in advance.

Try VLC with the commandline (using Theora and Vorbis in an OGG container format):

Code: Select all

vlc INPUT :sout=#transcode{vcodec=theo,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=vorb,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{mux=ogg,dst=:8081/test} :sout-keep

Where INPUT is your input.

I created an HTML file containing:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML5 video test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>HTML5 video test</h1>
<video width="640" height="480" autoplay>
    <source src="http://localhost:8081/test" type="video/ogg" />
    HTML5 video not supported.
</video>
</body>
</html>

And it worked in both Firefox and Google Chrome (dev channel) (on 64-bit Win7).

This wont work in safari either. The video codecs required for safari is the h264. I am struggling with this myself. I will ofcourse post the proper sout and html 5 code once I have some sucess.

I am still looking for a solution, creating a HTML5( h264) Stream.
Maybe someone from the VLC team can jump in and give as a hint. Please...
