[streaming] frame-by-frame streaming server example using vlc?

[Maróy Ákos]

Hi,

I'm wondering how to implement an mpeg4 streaming server that takes
images one by one, generated on the fly. (that is, the mpeg4 stream
would not be made up of the contents of an existing mpeg4 file, or from
a camera feed). basically I'm looking for conceptually something like this:

initialize vlc

bind to port XXX to serve clients

do until stopped {
     generate new frame
     set the new frame as the next frame to serve
}

de-iniitalize everything


and then clients would connect to the server, and receive the mpeg4
stream made up of the generated images.

also, I'd like to read this stream from a google android phone.

any help would be appreciated..
