Re: streaming video to N800
Waouu, you made huge progress ;)
On PC it should be feasible to use VLC. But on Mac, I've no idea, sorry. |
Re: streaming video to N800
Brilliant - thanks! (Yes, I live under a rock - I'd never heard of VLC).
I got it!!! (Took forever but :) ) It's streaming and I can see and hear it on the N800. Looks/sounds good. Here's my setup: I'm streaming with VLC for Mac. Use the Streaming/Trancoding Wizard. Select Stream to Network. Select the movie source. Select Http. (Leave the IP address box blank). Set the video codec to mpeg 4, bit rate 512 (may need to go down to 256). Set the audio codec to MP3, bit rate 64. Choose the ASF encapsulation format. On the N800, I'm playing it with Mplayer. For noobs like me, to get it to play, launch MPlayer (which will launch the GMPlauncher). Enter the IP address of your host computer and port number in the PLAY line. (EG. http://<the IP address of the host machine>:8080/ (8080 is the default port number). Click Play and enjoy!!! Thanks so much! Denise |
Re: streaming video to N800
I made an Ajax webapp with Rails that uses VLC via telnet to stream media from my Ubuntu box. It allows me to view movies and live-tv with my N800 using MPlayer. Settings I've used for VLC are:
#transcode{fps=25.0,width=400,height=240,vcodec=mp 4v,vb=768,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:st d{access=http,mux=asf,dst=192.168.0.3:1416/stream.avi} Stream opens nicely with MPlayer and quality is enough for me and the playback is smooth. |
Re: streaming video to N800
Thanks - but you're waaay over my head! (Ajax, Ubuntu and Rails are not in my vocab yet :D)
Sounds like the settings are similar. I'm ripping my DVD's with Handbrake - MPEG 4, AAC, datarate 500 - and cropping the picture to the same size 400x240. This way, I can take them with me or watch at home. My next challenge is getting DVD's to stream - not working with the same settings ... enjoy! |

Edit: Oh :( Now that I have fuppes built will all of the transcode libraries, I find it doesn't support video transcoding of any kind :(. You don't suppose you'd release your webpage source to the public so I could drop it in apache, do you :D |
Re: streaming video to N800
On startup, I have vlc open with the web interface only and preset for the proper transcoding. I also edited /usr/share/vlc/http/dialogs/browse such that "browse_lastdir" has a more preferable starting directory than "~".
The vlc command I use is Code:
vlc --intf=http --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp1v,vb=384,scale=0.75,acodec=mpga,ab=64,channels=2}:std{access=http,mux=mpeg1,dst=:1234}' |

I am currently using licensed versions of the Helix server and producer, but I am unable to achieve appreciable peformance of on-demand streaming of videos (anything more than 200-220 kbps results in dropped frames.) I heard a rumor somewhere that theres a configuration file somewhere on the device which can be edited to improve the performance (some code that limits the bitrate?) Does anyone have any ideas on this? p.s: I am using a bunch of N800s and N810s with OS2008 on them and the encoded videos are 320x240 , 30fps, rmvb. p.s2: I had tried streaming quicktime videos using a Darwin streaming server. Strangely On-demand video works on the default media player (H.264), however it refuses to play locally (from the mem. card.) The problem of high bitrate streaming (>200kbps) is still persistent with the quicktime streaming. Any comments on these issues will be really helpful. Thank you. |

Re: streaming video to N800
I used to do it with vlc but didn't know about mediaserv..
:eek: Amazing stuff |
Re: streaming video to N800
Now that the new VLC version is (hopefully) right around the corner and if there is interest, I may release my streaming app soon. I have all the features I wanted now implemented, but I need to do some bug fixing and testing with the vlc build once it gets out. It works with all tablets and plays most videos/dvds with subtitles. Live-tv with epg-support is supported via vdr (if available) and it allows you to queue files to a transcode list and get them transcoded and transfered to device with few clicks.
Seeking and pausing also work so you don't have to start from the beginning if you don't finish a video. It works with Linux, BSDs and OS X but Windows is not supported (at least for now). Short clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNCvvT8GA0U |
