<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've a friend who uses resolume massively for his
exhibitions and he is looking for</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a streaming solution that could let him send video
sessions remotely. It would be very nice to use vlc for this purpose , allowing
my friend to use the powerful transcoding options implemented in vlc and to
create multiple chains with different encoding methods and
outputs.</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Resolume supports freeframe plugins, this makes
very simple to access video frames generated with that software and redirect
them somewhere else.....so I think that a possible solution is to
write a freeframe plugin associated with a vlc access module (maybe they could
be the same dll...but I'm not too familiar with windows programming and I'm not
sure that this is possiblle) and they could use an internal communication
channel to transfer frames from resolume to vlc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What do you think about that? ... Is
there any alternative, already implemented, to achive the same task? (I saw
some freeframe plugins that implement streaming...but I don't like
them...and i think that using vlc for streaming should be a much more powerful
solution)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you think that it is possible and, above all,
useful ... how do you think the communication channel should be
implemented? ... I thought to use windows socket , but since I don't
have enough experience in windows programming it might not be the
right choice ... </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in a unix environment I whould have used unix
sockets (or pipes) or maybe IPC in case of performance
problems...but I don't know if there is a better mechanism to be used on a
windows system.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would appreciate any comment or advice that
can help me in achieving this task :P</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
