[vlc-devel] Re: VLC adaptation for nCube streaming

[Clement Leclout-Keriguy]

Hi Bob and Ross,

Sorry for the delay, but I was away from the office the past week.
Here are more details about our situation:

1) We are currently only using VLC client in UDP/RTP mode only to
receive the stream, we developed our own RTSP command externally as
nCube uses a different RTSP protocol as the current VLC, but we would be
interested to integrate it in the client!

2) The main problem we are facing is a delay in the video of about 5-10
seconds when a VCR command is called (pause, fast forward, fast reverse,
etc.).

3) There are also some picture quality issues (black dots on bright
areas and horizontal lines with fast video motion) from TS streams.

4) As we are using VLC on a Set Top Box which includes a MPEG2 hardware
decoder, we are also wondering if there is a way that VLC uses this
decoder instead of the default software one? (to reduce CPU usage)

5) We integrate this client into a web page using the ActiveX component,
but I haven't found a clear list of JavaScript functions that the object
support. We mainly need to change the aspect ratio or resize the display
area and make the video 'stretch' the area.

These are the issues that our company would like to solve, with a
priority on issue 2)
 
Best Regards,
Clement

Dear Clement,

I am currently working as a contractor on a similar project for Broadbus
Technologies (www.broadbus.com), who makes a RAM based server similar in
function to the nCube. The Broadbus server will do 19,200 streams at
4MBits/sec per 18U server shelf.

Most of the VLC problems are in determining the current location within
the
TS stream. I'm sure nCube uses a similar scheme as Broadbus to alert the
STB
of the current location. If you can supply your current situation, I can
provide a quotation for this work. Have you tried the RTSP client on
VLC?
nCube's RTSP implementation is pretty good. What problems do you have?

If you have any interest, please let me know!

Dear development team,

As mentioned below we would be interested to extend your application for
streaming with an nCube server. We believe there is not a huge amount of
work to be done as the client is already functional but some tweaking is
needed.

Does anyone is interested in such development? We may eventually provide
you a trip to our office in Dubai if necessary to work directly on the
server.

Best Regards,
Clement

I don't know if any of the developers has the time to do this. I advise
that you send an email to vlc-devel at videolan.org to see if someone is
interested.
