Debian Multimedia :: Find A Way To Stream Home Movies Online?
Sep 1, 2010
I want to find a way to stream my home movies online, so that I can watch them anywhere. I want it to have a way to see all the movies I am streaming and just click on the one I want to play. It cannot be in flash format because of quality reasons. I'd rather it be able to support xvid or divx if possible because of its compression ratio. If not the movie would have to be no more then 1.4gbs a movie and still have good quality.
The closest thing I got to this was jinzora. I have also tried mediatomb (but I cannot figure out a way for vlc player to open the files without manually entering each link and I also cannot figure out a way for it to know at what point it is in the movie ex: 43:01/1:00:00). I am willing to use other formats if needed, but the size cannot be anymore then 1.4gb and still has to be good quality.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and I have got a VNC, FTP, SSH, Apache server running on it. I would love to setup a media server on it so that when I'm away from home I can stream my movies rather than download them via ftp (made even worse by my slow upload speed).
I installed fuppes however I think that only streams to xboxes, playstations, etc :/
Is there a piece of software that I could put on top of apache? So that when I'm out and about I can just open my website and from there open my password-protected media server and stream any movie file I chose?
I have a debian home server right now, I'm using samba for my file server but I was wanting to stream my movies and music to my other computers. My family (the other users on the network) are NOT computer savvy, and to top it off they are using both Windows (xp) and Mac (Snow Leopard) machines. So I'm looking for software that is simple to use that will allow other operating systems to use it. I would think the easiest way would be to stream the music/movies through a home website. I have seen quite a few programs out there that stream music, but none for movies.
I was wondering if it would be possible to set up a server on my desktop that has a folder of videos converted to iPhone formats that I can access with my iPhone over the internet to stream videos to my phone?I started by setting up a server and used no-ip2 to create a domain name so I didn't have to worry about my dynamic ip changing.Then I tried unsuccessfully to transcode a DVD to iPhone format using Arista, Transmaggedon, and Avidemux, none of which I could get to properly work.
Finally I used iUI (URL...) to create a site that would appear as a simple menu to search through my movies on my website and stream them.This failed in that every time I set a static link it would change it to URL...
I am wondering if there is some one I can let in to my PC via the net, to help me with 2 program problems.
1) A movie player that actually can stream the movies without stopping every 12 seconds to reload? 2) I have a soundblaster Xfi sound card that I cannot get to work on Ubuntu 10.4. It has my midi ins and outs on it so my key board and recording suite is shot.
So me and the wife have a extra PC laying around with ubuntu 10.10 on it. We are considering making it into a Home Theater PC. This PC would be for Streaming Netflix, Hulu, internet movies, Playing DVD/BlueRay disk, Printer server, and file storage. The things i'm curious about is how well Ubuntu handles streaming movies? I will have to run a work around for Netflix unfortunately, but for streaming video and using remote desktop to access it from our computers
Current Specs 2.6ghz Pent 4 processor 384 Ram DDR 60GB 5400rpm hard drive motherboard video card DVD Drive
Upgrades i'm considering 1 to 2GB of ram 2x 250GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive (striped 500g total) 5.1 Surround Sound card Blueray/DVD Drive

We will be ordering a projector for this PC, but i'm not sure i want a monitor. Trying to find a way i can remote over and play moviesthrough the projector and then close the connection without logging me out. or something along this line.
How's the quality of the sound that gets to your loudspeakers? What components do you have - brand, specs, mode and distance of computer to amplifier?[URL].. Mid and bass sound good.
This is what im trying to do with the NAS, i would like it to stream movies 720 and 1080 to my Samsungs tvs, this may require trans coding(i think that the word), storage wise i would like to start with 2 2tb hardrives(The energy ones), i don't know if i need a raid(5) card for what i need if so, whats a good one ?
I would like to save as much power as possible.
Motherboard ? CPU = maybe an I3 RAM = 2g DDR3 Power-supply = ? OS = FreeNas
Also i have read a lot of places were you can do a automatic bit-torrent clients to downloads show and unrar them for you and maybe organize them in to separate folder, but my question is can i do this with megashare and Hotfile (premium) links ?
I accidentally deleted one of the libraries in /lib or /usr/lib and now when I boot into Debian, it won't load the GUI. I get an error message saying that something failed because the library needed did not exist (I couldn't read it because the text was scrolling by so fast, so I don't know exactly what it said). I need to find an archive or something of all the system libraries for Lenny so I can reinstall them. Is there a place online where I can download them?
My Specs: Asus UL80jt, i3 core processor, 4 gb ddr3 ram, Dual Boot Windows 7 and Fedora 14. I use Last.fm on my Xbox all the time and I use this application to stream music online all the time in windows. I would love to run this in Fedora 14, however I keep running into an issue when I go to run the make command.
I have tried looking online for awhile and cant get anywhere, I spoke to a few of my friends who run F14 and they say I am missing g++, I can't find how to install that, can't find it with yum, GUI software manager, nothing.
How could I (using c++ language on linux machine) put media stream (like mpeg4 movie) into the udp packets and send it to other computer in the network?
to do administrating job by clicking "Adding Printers and Classes" or whatever. However, unfortunately, what I get today is
Iceweasel can't find the file at /usr/share/doc/cups/online-docs/admin.
So, click "Overview of CUPS" insted, then scroll halfway down, click "Administration" under Where Do I Begin? BINGO, you can proceed. My penguin is Debian squeeze AMD64.
how to use tshark to know the address of the streams of online tv/satellite channels that are broadcast from online websites that hide the addresses of these streams. i would like to feed these stream addresses directly into mplayer so as to have more control over the playing of them, and to eliminate the drawbacks of the traditional flash player/windows media player web browser plugins.
I often use popcorn time [URL] .... to watch some movies. It allows me automatically to stream a movie to my samsung smart TV (which is connected to the network, but I do not have anything like chromecast connected to it).
Now, seen that it is possible for popcorn time to stream to my TV, how can I do it myself e.g. in the case of a video file or some pictures which are on my PC?
I'm running Jessie on an AMD64 with an ATI Radeon HD 7770 card. I have installed the fglrx driver. When I try to play a movie with vlc, it crashes with the following error:
I used to have a working vlc. Then I added debian-multimedia to my sources.list and installed several other movie players (kplayer, kaffeine,). As a result, my vlc no longer works: When I run it to display a movie (any movie, I tried several) I get the sound OK, but there is no image, and the window stays small (like when playing a sound file). How do I get vlc to display movies again?
I'm using Debian Squeeze with Fluxbox and I'm having a problem with xscreensaver. I've set to blank screen after 10 minutos of inactivity, but the problem is that when I'm watching a movie, the screen is blanked after 10 minutes too. So I have to manually kill xscreensaver before starting to see a movie, or I have to move my mouse / press keyboard every 10 minutes to activate the screen again.
I've done some search before posting and I only found something about a SMPlayer's option named "Disable screensaver", but it is already on and it has no effect preventing xscreensaver to work. Here is a screen shoot of my SMPlayer configuration window:
[URL]
Apparently, xscreensaver isn't being able to recognize that another program is running. Could it be related to dbus?
PS: I had a dbus problem when I first upgraded to squeeze, my multimedia keys stoped working in banshee (whenever I clicked to play/pause/next etc, another banshee process was started), but I solved it by adding this line to my ~/.xinitrc: eval "$(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)"
I want to stream .avi *divx/xvid* (because of the nice compression and quality) online and have all streams accessible through a web based library type thing. Something like Jinzora ( http://en.jinzora.com/ ) is what I am looking for, but it's buggy. I would even be satisfied with a web based library of streams that you click and open with an external program. I have searched a lot for this and the only thing I found that can do this how I want (if it worked right) was jinzora. I don't want to convert to mpeg4 or flv because of size and quality issues.
im creatind dvd's from others hd movies and ive seen theres an option to adjust framerate in audio, but ive never using that and i dont see the difference, when i play the video i see audio is syncronized with the video.for example, for a movie with 23,97 fps i converted to PAL (25fps) and i dont do anything to the audio, and it plays sicnronized then ¿Its neccesary to sync audio, and how its done with ffmpeg?
i do somethin like this: ffmpeg -i source.mkv -target pal-dvd -acodec copy mydvd.mpg (is audio fps syncronized because of the target?)if i dont use target, should is use sb like this?.: ffmpeg - i source.mkv -r 25 -vcodec mpeg2video -acodec ac3 -r 25 output.mpg
So I got myself a USB capture card (EasyCap) to use for capturing gaming, digitizing my kids' old VHS movies, etc. It works fine, I've been using VLC to view and record stuff from it, but I've noticed one issue. When recording streams via VLC, even with no other programs running to give VLC as much CPU time as it wants, the audio slowly falls out of sync. I've tried the MP4 (H264/MP3) container and the OGG (Vorbis/Theora) container.
Early on you can't hardly tell, but the further into a movie you get the more out of sync the audio gets, so that by the end of the movie the audio is a good 1-2 seconds off. It's not a set amount either so I can't just split the audio to a separate file then shift it one direction or the other to make up for the difference, because like I said, the offset starts out at nothing and gets progressively larger as the movie goes on. When I select "display locally", the video/audio that is displayed stays in sync, only the video/audio that gets committed to the output file falls out of sync, and it doesn't matter if I play the file with Totem or VLC.
I was using Rhythmbox to listen to internet fine in Squeeze.After updating to Wheezy, some stations give me error "Could not determine stream type" - I think I have installed all the gstreamer packages - so how can I tell what is missing?
I am a college broadcaster developing both websites for the stations I work for. We have recently switched from streaming exclusively in Apple Quicktime .mov (which gave constant headaches for myself and others involved behind-the-scenes) to that of an Icecast MP3 pls stream. The stream works within Rhythmbox v0.12.8, Audacious v2.3 and Totem Movie Player v2.30.2. However, I'm in a bit of a bind in regards to streaming this Icecast pls file within Ice Weasel v3.6.13 using Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.How can I code these sites so that Totem Movie Player plays the stream within the web page? Also, where it states object type="video/quicktime"
I just installed ETQW 1.5 (Linux version), the game installed fine but strangely enough the 'Play Online' button is grayed out and therefor I can't play online. Anyone else who encountered this problem? Is there a solution?

I have a Ubuntu10.10 as a desktop. I all so have a Windows7 starter netbook. Right now I have the net book set up so I can watch movies from my Ubuntu desk top (using XBMC) on my home network. What I would like to do is when I am on the road with my netbook, be able to watch my shows and movies on my PC at home. I am not sure if there is a VNC client that would work on both systems or not.
I have distorted sound when viewing SWF files on browsers. Tried both chrome and iceweasel. I have a Dell XPS with debian testing (64 bit), alsa is 1.0.23. Sound is working properly when playing formats other than swf.
I've installed last Debian Stable with Gnome 3 environment and after added my enterprise account into the Gnome Online Accounts it apear into Evolution (but only after i've manually installed evolution-ews package) the problem is that i can't change any adevanced settings like "local synchronisation" into Evolution.
It's like Gnome Online Accounts revert back the settings each time i change it.
I am running debian testing, amd64 on my box. In general, I do not experience particular multimedia problems; I can watch & listen to ..... videos without a glitch and even webcasts like [URL] do not pose any problem. However, I experience problems with some (reputable) online radios, for instance when I visit the link [URL] then words are continuously broken by a metallic sound. However, if I open e.g. with totem a simple file such as france_culture_mp3-128k.m3u whose content is given by
[Code]...
then the sound is OK. This is puzzling as this text file once again points to the same radio franceculture! Does anyone have an idea of what is going on? It seems to me that whenever I try to listen to an online radio from within iceweasel, then I have sound problems, but I have installed many plugins and I do not have problems with video webcasts that of course also include sound.
