hi,

has anyone managed to stream from vlc to a nokia phone?

i have a nokia 6630 umts phone with builtin realplayer, which should be 
capable
of (3gp compliant) mp4 content.
on the serverside i have darwin streaming server, which handles the rtsp 
setup,
and vlc to encode video to mp4. vlc sends the encoded video over rtp to
darwin, which "reflects" or "forwards" the rtp stream to the client once the
rtsp session has been set up.

i've tried it with a very low videobitrate (24kBit/s, i.e. 
--sout-transcode-vb=3) and no audio,
since i'm not in an umts area at the moment (gprs only).
other encoding options were:
--sout-transcode-width=176 --sout-transcode-height=144 
--sout-transcode-vcodec="mp4v"
--sout-transcode-vb="3" --sout-transcode-fps="15"

first problem, realplayer said there would not be enough bandwidth. i 
solved it by manually
editing the vlc generated sdp file and added "b=AS:24" to indicate the 
bandwith.
after that the realplayer began to do download, but never started playing...

maybe i should try in an umts area, but thats not possible atm, so maybe 
someone
has tried sth. similar and could help me out or exchange experiences.
would be a pleasure to hear that anyone did stream from vlc to nokia 
with success.

best regards,
torben
