[vlc] vlc streaming errs

Tue Jul 19 19:13:12 CEST 2005

Hi!
When I looked for open source streamin sollutions i was very excited to find 
that VLC is not only brilliant player but also that it has streaming 
possibilities. So latest 3 days I have tried to setup something that would be 
really cool if suceeded.
So the plan is to install one tv card on one of the office linux servers and 
use vlc to stream all stations to everybody working in the office. It is 
extremelly important that everybody can play it, so I used MediaPlayer format 
for streaming.

- I have PixelView PlayTVpro TV tuner card
- drivers are ok so it is accessible via v4l device /dev/video
- i create link page something like:
<a href="mms://1.1.1.1:8080/cnn.asf">CNN</a><br />
<a href="mms://1.1.1.1:8080/eurosport.asf">EuroSport</a><br />
and so on

But I have not suceeded to get that far.
I am running FC3 so I had to build vlc/ffmpeg/lame/libmpeg from source to 
include mp3.
Everything compiled ok, but here are the problems I encauntered:

1) when I run command:
vlc test.wmv --sout 
'#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=256,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=32,channels=2}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=:8080/out.asf}'
it works both audio and video

2) when I run command:
vlc v4l:/dev/video:channel=0:frequency=791000:norm=pal:adev=/dev/dsp1 --sout 
'#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=256,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=32,channels=2}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=:8080/out.asf}'
video works, but audio doesnt (/dev/dsp1 is wrong. correct is /dev/dsp)

3) finally when I run command:
vlc -vvv v4l:/dev/video:channel=0:frequency=791000:norm=pal:adev=/dev/dsp 
--sout 
'#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=256,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=32,channels=2}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=:8080/out.asf}'
nor audio nor video works. it can't connect.

I suspect that problem is something with audio and traced down to this:

this looks like a bug. It would be very great if somebody with knoweledge 
could take a look and advise me on how to proceed.
tnx.
