[streaming] VLC streaming using stdin

[Mark Ter Morshuizen]

Hi All,

Sorry about the long lines, please turn word wrapping off.

I'm trying to set up a machine to stream live events using VLC.
I am able to stream files without problems but as soon as I try using stdin I run into problems. 

This works:
vlc brian.avi --sout '#std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=192.168.0.17:8075/brian.asf}'

This doesn't:
cat brian.avi | vlc - -I dummy --sout '#std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=192.168.0.17:8075/brian.asf}'

When I do this I get:
libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 0.1.10 from http://dvd.sf.net
libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable.
libdvdread: Can't stat -
No such file or directory
libdvdnav: vm: faild to open/read the DVD

What's up? Any suggestions on how to fix it? Any way to specify stdin explicitly?

I eventually aim to use dvgrab to pipe to ffmpeg which will in turn pipe to vlc.

I tried this first (found it on the wiki) doesn't seem to work: 
vlc -vvv dv/rawdv:///dev/raw1394 -dv-caching 10000 –sout '#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=512,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=192,channels=2,fps=25.0}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=:8080}'
I added the space between 10000 and --sout, which is missing from the line in the wiki.

Thanks,
