Stream to iPhone

[kirschey]

I noticed a folder stream_iPhone and was wondering how to configure/use this part through vlc.

I know this is doable: http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:S...the_iPhone

Thanks

Doesn't work....it is something sub started....I've looked at iPhone (and standard mobile phone streaming) and it is not an easy task to accomplish. No plans on supporting it unless VLC integrates a steam processes for mobile that can be started from the command line.

Looks like it may be possible based off of that article.....I would like to hear from iPhone users whether or not this actually works well or not. (i.e. follow the instructions and see how it actully works in real-life).

You might want to consider trying AirVideo for streaming from your PC to iPhone.

I used a program called streamer on the iPhone which works from copying the link from the play button, just not very well. Ideally, if the example at

http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:S...e#Examples

was used. An iPhone link could be generated on the fly by using a bit of JS. ie - Detect if the device is an iPhone, if so generate the stream button to have these elements based on the input, detect the URL put that in too.

That is basically how the command line interface works. What command line support are you looking for?



I am not really familiar with the windows programming side of this stuff.

I use an app called video stream - similar to air video but it transcodes as needed, and not sure if they'd have an api for an external program (like npvr) to access.

However I have also used another app called streamer that I point at the server:1234 ip address and port and use ewa to start a stream then start this app. not the most elegant but passable.

AirVideo also transcodes if needed. It will transcode in a batch queue or on the fly using ffmpeg. Since I run the AirVideo server on the same computer that runs NPVR, I just add the NPVR recordings directory to the AirVideo server's list of folders is uses to find the video files. AirVideo works really well and is a great deal for 2 or 3 dollars.

These solutions aren't integrated though - meaning while you can find all your videos, they don't have all the program information relating to them, where a solution integrated to EWA - or an app would have these features.

Exactly. I know more or less how to do it, from the web side: create a device detect in js, then feed the h264 mp4 aac encoded file to the device. I think the best use of this would be to the iPad ala time warner's newish app.

I did some more reading and apparently "The latest trunk builds simply don't work with HLS at all. The most recent I found to be working is vlc-1.2.0-git-20100428 (Apr 28th, 2010). from http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=87216

Interesting.
