Thread: Very basic VLC streaming question
Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by TimUK
I am using VLC on a pair of machines, a PC and a Mac, each contains a music collection. i want to stream their output audio using UDP to a third, always-on machine which is connected to my stereo amplifier/speakers. I am puzzled as to how to configure the satellite based VLC such that, by default, any track that I load into or try to play it automatically channels its way thought to the VLC ...

On the senders: Code: Select all vlc --sout '#transcode{acodec=s16b,channels=2,samplerate=4410 0}:rtp{dst=IP,port-audio=5004}' where IP is the address of the receiver. On the receiver: Code: Select all vlc rtp://@:5004

Thanks, I am not getting this to work yet and appreciate if you could identify what I'm getting wrong here? On the sending PC's I have defined a shortcut's target as described earlier : Code: Select all "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --sout #transcode{acodec=s16b,channels=2,samplerate=44100 }:rtp{dst=192.168.1.2,port-audio=5004} On the receiver's shortcut, I have the shortcut...

Can anybody suggest a method by which I can check the RDP streaming functionality of the RX and the TX ends. I might get somewhere if I can identify the failed end of the chain - I hope both are not ill-configured! Is there some web address I can pick-up an RDP stream from? Or somewhere I can try and send a test stream?

hi, I also had problems to receive a stream because the firewall blocked the transfers. After allowing access by the firewall I can send and receive streams. vlcNiko

Thanks, but I am definitely not experiencing a firewall issue. The TX and RX VLC's are on the same LAN and communicate with each other with other networking apps quite freely. I just don't know where to start checking this operating mode of VLC

try this: "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --sout '#transcode{acodec=s16b,channels=2,samplerate=4410 0}:rtp{dst=192.168.1.2,port-audio=5004}' I know forgetting the " ' " in linux will cause it to not work.

I'm not really doing much with rtp. I do know adding a -vvv to my vlc command turns on level 2 debugging. I know that helps me a lot. Try that and see if it gives you something else to go on. Is there a *must* for rtp? You could try this: On your server with your MP3s run this command: vlc -vvv *.mp3 --sout='#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=96,channels=2,sam plerate=44100}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=...
