<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hello</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm quite new to video streaming using VLC and would like
a few precisions regarding it's use with DSS.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm running DSS on FreeBSD_4.11 providing this very
usefull url : <A
href="http://www.cs.rochester.edu/~charman/DSS_FreeBSD/">http://www.cs.rochester.edu/~charman/DSS_FreeBSD/</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I've made preliminary tests: quicktime clients can access
the sample files provided with DSS on both port 80 and 7070.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm planning to use Osprey 230 video cards for live a/v
capture..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Here is a simple graph of my layout:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>VLC (winXX+osprey 230) > DSS (FreeBSD, DSS 5) > HTML
Embended Quicktime Player</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I've than made three simple tests:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>----</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>1) try to stream an already existing audio/video file on
my lan, so other VLC client can connect to it using the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<P>vlc.exe -vvv \<BR> F:\demojd_csaa.mov
\<BR> --sout
"#duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,url=192.168.0.55:8080}" </P>
<P>(this works)</P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>----</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>2) i have on this computer a "Logitech QuickCam PTZ" (aka
Sphere), so i tryed capturing frames with the following:</P></DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>
<P>vlc.exe -vvv \<BR> dshow:// --dshow-vdev="Logitech QuickCam
PTZ" --dshow-adev="none" --dshow-size="" --dshow-caching=200 --dshow-chroma=""
\<BR>
--sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,url=192.168.0.55:8080}}</P></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>(this works)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>----</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>3) final, and the most important test.. live DSS stream..
but as the above exemple failed, i don't really assume this would work.. (and it
doesn't !):</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>vlc.exe -vvv \</DIV>
<DIV> dshow:// --dshow-vdev="Logitech QuickCam PTZ"
--dshow-adev="none" --dshow-size="" --dshow-config --no-dshow-tuner
--dshow-caching=200 --dshow-chroma="" \</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"> --sout "#transcode:rtp"
--sout-transcode-vcodec="mp4v" --sout-transcode-vb="64"
--sout-rtp-dst="195.13.59.42" --sout-rtp-ttl="127" --sout-rtp-sdp=<A
href="file://c:/vlc.sdp">file://c:/vlc.sdp</A> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"><FONT face=Arial></FONT><FONT
face=Arial></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>----</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR>The main problem, aside possible obvious syntax mistakes are that i
can't find a valid way to setup DSS to allow the inbound relay in.. <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2>Most help available assume you use the QT Broadcaster .. here,
i want straight DSS connection btw VLC on sending side, and DSS on server
side..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>If someone could spare a little time advising how to setup
VLC & DSS for my needs.. would be much apreciated</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Take care.</FONT></DIV>
