Can't stream videos

[Mr Burnay]

I'm having troubles streaming videos from gnump3d:
. .avi files will stream successfully using vlc player.
. all other video files as well as .avi ones won't be streamed using windows media player nor vlc player.
. the saving option allows me to watch the downloaded videos successfully, but that's not the intended solution.
. this problem doesn't occourr with sound files (.mp3).

If you don't know the cause, please indicate me some documentation (tutorial like) so that I can solve the problem.

  The issue is that streaming videos requires your client to support it.

  90% of the time your browser will merely download fully and then
 launch a media player on the downloaded copy of the file - and not
 stream it.

  It works with .avi + vlc, as you say, that's because the browser and
 client know about these files.  You just need to find the right
 combination of client + media type and it will work.

  GNUMP3d doesn't do anythign special in regard to movies, its no
 different then clicking on a link in an Apache index for example.

I haven't  tried streaming videos with gnump3d, but from my own research the only way I could reliably stream live videos from a web page was to create a link to a  .pls (or .m3u) file like this:

[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
File1=http://www.yoururl.com:9902/TV.mp4
Title1=liveTV
Length1=-1
Version=2

Then the browser will download this small .pls file, pass it to vlc or winamp which then plays the stream.  Maybe gnump3d isn't creating a .pls/.m3u file?

btw, I have a batch file that starts vlc on the server that creates the TV.mp4 stream.

Hi Bruce McArdle, can you post you batch file please?
I'm interesting in stream video too like Burray.
If I modify the batch file, can i start other players like TOTEM, for example?

This is more of a vlc discussion but this is what I use in a windows .bat file (all in one line).  Most settings for you will probably be different depending on your audio and video capture device and quality.

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" dshow:// :dshow-vdev="Conexant 2388x Video Capture" :dshow-adev="Intel(r) Integrated Audio" :dshow-size=320x240 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=768,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=48,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=yourputername_or_IP:9902/TV.mp4}}

To keep this discussion about gnump3d, anyone know how to make this stream show up in the gnump3d list?  I'm thinking editing one of the template html files to create a permanent link.
