Without going too deep into the details, HTTP is based on the TCP protocol which is designed for reliable one-to-one communication ( unicast).Found a better workaround to the question i asked earlier.to install restricted extras simply run a live session on a computer with an internet connection.Open software centre type in ubuntu restricted extras,select install,after installation is complete install additional softwares u may need,lastly install apton cd. The nice thing with RTP is it supports multicasting. But for more complex streaming applications, I encourage you to explore the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) instead. You can find a list of supported protocols and stream compatibility on the VideoLAN website. In other words, if it takes you 5 minutes to start the client and connect to the server- you missed the 5 first minutes of your movie! So you probably need to be ready client-side before starting the server… # display the video:

That means, once the server is up and running, VLC starts “playing” the input stream without waiting for the clients to connect. sout "#transcode \īut you have to understand this starts a streaming server. sout-x264-preset fast -sout-x264-tune film \ But actually, you don’t need an external tool. In the previous example, I used ffmpeg to transcode a video from my HDD recorder. codec:v libx264 -preset fast -tune film \ o stream.raw # Transcode the stream from my HDD using `ffmpeg`

I find that way more “batch friendly”: # Download raw stream data from my HDD Is this an issue with my HDD recorder or a VLC limitation? I can’t tell for sure- by the way, if you have some more information about that, don’t hesitate to share that with me using the comment section at the bottom of this article!Īs an extra trick, since my HDD recorder uses HTTP as the transport layer, I find it most useful to use VLC to explore the HDD hierarchy, and then to use some command line tool to actually download and/or process the stream. I must admit on my system, it works only for recorded videos, and not for live streams. But did you know by right-clicking on a stream you can copy (“save”) from an UPnP device to your local device? Playing videos from an UPnP network device is rather intuitive. But that’s sufficient if you want to play from VLC some content stored on an external UPnP server, just like a compliant digital video recorder or a combo DVD/BR/HDD home appliance. Unfortunately, at the time of this writing VLC can only act as an UPnP client.

This consumer-grade device can act as a DLNA/UPnP media server Sometimes it is not obvious because that capability is rebranded as DLNA - but for our purpose, it mostly covers the same things. The reason I mention that is many consumer grade audio-video devices do now support UPnP. UPnP aims at making network devices plug’n’play in order to ease adoption by non-technical oriented users. Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of protocols allowing connected devices to discover each other presence on the network. Using VLC to import videos from an UPnP deviceīefore talking about the UPnP support build into VLC, maybe it worth taking some time to explain in few words what is UPnP. In fact, for the desktop, VLC is much more than just a tool to play videos stored on your hard drive! So, stay with me for a tour of the lesser known features of that great software.
