[vlc-devel] Not-static file AVI-Streaming

[Marco Pelusi]

Thanks Kaarlo for the answer; piping uses file completed but in my case (I'm
using Taksi, a free open source software similar to Fraps) I have to send in
real time to the LAN the AVI video that Taksi create while records the video
inside the openGL windows.

This AVI file is not completed until Taksi stop the recording and Taksi has
to send the video during recording; VLC on second PC has to receive on
rtp://@:1234 for example.

Maybe file "avi.c" in vlc-1.1.11\modules\demux\avi and "rtp.c" in
vlc-1.1.11\modules\access\rtp are related to that.

Please let me know if it's possible.

Regards
Marco
