Hi.
I try to stream a webcam with the http server enabled, using Vlc 2.05, Firefox 19.0.2.
searching "flowplayer" in this forum did not help me much !
Webcam is Ok, I can stream it with the vlc interface.
I would like to watch the stream with a web browser, so I activated the "web " in preferences panel.
The web interface controls the vlc window (loading, playing, etc in the Vlc Window.)
But my web interface only shows a gey rectangle, saying in french "Flowplayer loading; If nothing appears, check your internet connexion.
As I cannot find any flowplayer app in the /usr/vlc/lua/http folder, here are my questions:
Is the web lua plugin able to display the video in the web interface ?
Do I need to download flowplayer - and where to copy it ?
Thanks in advance.
Note: I'm discovering vlc, it's much more powerfull that what I thought about it - I simply used it from time tot time to play vidéos locally !
Flowplayer not showing my video in a browser.
Re: Flowplayer not showing my video in a browser.
As I cannot find plugins for flowplayer, I've downloaded the zip file, uncompressed it in the lua/http folder
in view.html
(subfolder flowplayer is in my http folder)
and
in index.html.
But still no vidéo in my http window.
I've checked file names.
Strange, it should work now.
Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/common.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.5.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-ui-1.8.13.custom.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="flowplayer/flowplayer.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">(subfolder flowplayer is in my http folder)
and
Code: Select all
/* delay script loading so we won't block if we have no net access */
$.getScript('flowplayer/flowplayer.min.js', function(data, textStatus){
$('#player').empty();
flowplayer("player", "flowplayer/flowplayer.swf");
/* .getScript only handles success() */But still no vidéo in my http window.

Re: Flowplayer not showing my video in a browser.
1) There is no source indicated in your code. There needs to be something like: src= http://IP of the streaming source:8080/stream (etc)
2) what kind of server setup are you using? If its a LAMP stack, Apache has an add on for h264 but I have not been able to make anything else work. You could also search out red5 and try to get it to work, but I found it to be a headache because there isn't much documentation for Ubuntu Linux.
3) I spent almost a month trying to get a similar setup working, in the end I gave that up and embeded the VLC plugin to my site. Here is the source code I use:
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2" id="vlc" height="400" width="700">
<script>
var vlc = document.getElementById("vlc");
vlc.playlist.add("http://streaming source ip goes here:8080/stream", "live",
":network-caching=150");
vlc.playlist.play();
</script>
this works like a charm
3) What is the VLC config? For webcam streaming there is a setup guide on the VLC wiki called "stream vlc to website with asf and flash" Follow the guide, it works. Although I use the Div3 and mp3(asf) to stream the webcam to my streaming computer in my home network, and at the streaming computer I transcode and restream it using h264 and aac (ts) (Computer has an i7 intel).
This is what I was able to get working, and its what I use. If you find another setup which works, make sure you share. Wish you the best brother, let everyone know how it goes.
also, I just found this thread: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=108523

Re: Flowplayer not showing my video in a browser.
Hello to yushalee10 and all others.
I shall try your source code next weekend (cannot realy "work" on week days)
I made some searches this week end, and found how to simply use flowplayer.
As I do not know anything about java, it will be hard to apply it to the vlc index.html file.
First I dowloaded jquery and flowplayer that are compatible together.
Second, I modified the html file to make it work with local files.
I named it file:///usr/share/vlc/lua/http/flow1.html
Third, I replaced the file with a local .webm file.
It sill works.
This means flowplayer is Ok on my computer.
I suppose that:
web browsers have evolved
flowplayer too, giving incompatible files with jquery through the internet
as a result, flowplayer included with Vlc Twoflower 2.0.5 does not show your stream anymore (not sure at all this 3rd point is true)
This is probably because I do not know if I can select a file with the web browser, paly it, and vlc automatically streams it on the 8081 port to the flowplayer software included in it's web page.
How do I stream videos from my webcam: using first http and then rtsp.
I have tried ports 8080 and 8081 which conflicts with vlc itself - other port numbers do work;
I use the 8554 default port for rtsp.
Opening the stream via a web browser (firefox 19.0.2), it opens Vlc.
A file does the same - webcam.m3u
I open it with vlc.
Of course, I shall post here all my findings - if any !
I have written two "how to" for beginers, but it's in french. There are plenty, so what for ?
Just because I had to read many different pages on the internet to succeed streaming and using the vlc web server option.
One of it is a web page about vlc, smartphones using android and Ipwebcam.
The second one is: how to stream for beginners
I do not know if I am allowed to give the link here - and again, it's in french...

</style>
<!-- flowplayer depends on jQuery 1.7.1+ (for now) -->
<script src="js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<!-- include flowplayer -->
<script src="bin/flowplayer.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- the player -->
<div class="flowplayer" data-swf="bin/flowplayer.swf" data-ratio="0.417">
