Multimedia :: Possible To Do Online Broadcasts With Ubuntu?
Jan 8, 2011
I'm fairly new to Ubuntu and having problems with my web cam. I have Karmic and the Creative Live Optia cam. The cam works fine on Cheese and Skype. I would like to do an online broadcast through Justin tv (nothing dirty, just me working) but the website isn't picking up on the cam. Is there anything I can do?
I am currently trying to compile mpeg4ip on F12 in order to do live broadcasts using Mp4live (a real-time encoding tool which mpeg4ip provides). The idea is to use mpeg4ip as broadcast software for Darwin Streaming Server which i am already running (v. 6.0.3 ) and streaming pre-recorded media. So i use the command
Code: ./bootstrap which eventually tells me that Code: Mp4live encoder report: ffmpeg encoder is installed xvid encoder is installed *** x264 encoder is not installed [Code]....
i have an isolated LAN (no connection to outside) with 3 fedora boxes. Suppose one of the boxes has an IP device connected to the serial port. We use SLIP and slattach to configure it and we can ping the device from every fedora boxes. Is it possible to bring the external device (192.168.1.9) to the set of LAN devices that receive LAN broadcasts?
It runs slattach and uses 192.168.1.9 to address serial connected ip device. I set up this scenario and the external device is ping(ed) with success but if I build a socket udp program that sends a broadcast to the LAN all the fedora boxes receive it except the external serial device. Why.
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.
how it is possible to watch the superbowl on linux natively? I am in charge of the computers at a school for mainly american students who are studying in my country, the school wants to enable them to watch the superbowl, tehy gave me a page with system requirements which seemed to suggest that it was just a flash movie player.
However when actually browsing to the demo I was confronted with an OS warning, at first I thought it was just a "stupid" me message like Yahoo-mail telling you that they haven't tested the rich version on your OS, but when browsing there with useragent set to winXP it turns out that you need the "MoveMediaPlayer". If left with no choice I guess I will install it together with firefox in wine, but I'd much rather have a different solution, also does anyone know if this player works well in wine?
is there a way of playing songs that are available in the internet using totem music player, or any other application. for example, this link http://fizy.com/s/1ai91v refers to a song that is present on a web page. i want to play it on a music player, and many other songs also. my aim is to create a playlist of songs that are available on the internet. so i can listen to those songs whenever i am online.
what is a smart way of doing it.? i dont mean downloading, because those songs cant be downloaded but can only be listened.
I am new to Ubuntu and need some help I watch TV shows online and my Favorite show is NCIS can anyone tell me if they have found a codec that is supported by CBS to allow you to watch this show online.
I can't get this video to play in Chromium or Firefox when using Ubuntu. I logged into Windows XP and the video plays fine. Back to Ubuntu and I can't get it to play. all are Plugins Enabled (e.g., Flash).
I am new to Ubuntu. I have moved on from Windows and I find Ubuntu really cool. Have been checking out free softwares and I got this VLC player to play videos on my Ubuntu. But when In try to play online .wmv files, it says The Plugin is Missing! I usually watch TV online but its not working. How can I get it working, I'd like to have an easy solution to this so that I don't mess up with Ubuntu.
why some online video players are coming up with just a grey or black screen and the ones that do come i am waiting till they are downloaded(i mean in the scrub bar at bottom of player is full) are playing jerky.. i am using mozilla 3.6.16 with shockwave flash 10.1 and the gnash swf player add-on.I know its not the pc because when i first installed ubuntu about three months ago all sites played fine. i feel it changed after one of the updates.
i used to watch bloomberg tv online at [url] well in ubuntu 10.10 (64bit) but recently after i upgraded to ubuntu 11.04 (64bit), it doesn't work any more. it is just loading forever.also i noticed that the flash player in [url] changed recently. as the way it loads is different than before. the weird thing is that i can still watch videos. not sure if it's the 11.04's problem or bloomberg's problem.
I like to watch TV shows online. 75% of the shows I watch are on the big sites like Hulu or CBS. But a lot of the shows I catch (normally older shows I never watched during first-run) are hosted with Megevideo or Loombo (moreso Loombo). 10.10 had no issues with playback quality. But since the upgrade to 11.04, online playback from loombo or megevideo like sites are very poor quality, jumpy and stutter. Video from the big sites are ok. I also noticed that playback in Firefox is not watchable on these sites but if I use Google Chrome it's watchable but still bad. I downloaded Flash from Adobe and installed, and so far I know I have all the plugins I need.
Here's what I have running: Ubuntu 11.04 32bit. Firefox 4.0.1 (Canonical). Google Chrome 10.0.648.151. Flash Plugin (according to about: plugin in Firefox) Shockwave Flash 10.3 r181.
I'm using Ubuntu Karmic Koala with Gnome desktop.I listen to online radio with Rhythmbox, I have all the necessary URLs loaded in.Now Rhythmbox is a great program but it seems like overkill just to listen to online radio. Is anyone using an alternative for this purpose, something small and neat?
I'm using Ubuntu 64bit 10.04 with FireFox and every video I've tried online has worked except the bp.com's oil gusher video streams. Does any one know what plugins to install to make this work?
This happens nearly anytime I watch any relatively lengthy flash video on ..... or other online flash players. I watch the video, and the audio is fine for a few seconds, but then the audio cuts off as the video continues to play. Sometimes, when I move the scrollbar of the screen/pause and replay the movie, it starts back up again for a few seconds then shuts off or plays the audio I just heard.
I have a 64Bit version of SUSE 11.2, KDE 4.4.3, ATI Radeon HD4350 and 4GB of RAM. I downloaded and installed the LINUX version of the veetle player from Veetle using the provided shell script. The installation went smoothly but when I tried to launch it afterwards, I got the image here: Veetle meaning that the installation was probably not successful. Has anyone out there successfully installed the player?
I am using ubuntu 10.10 on Dell Inspiron 1525 dual boot with vista. My concern is streaming online videos through websites such as BBC iplayer, sky news, ....., NDTV news channel, etc. Videos are streaming perfectly fine as long as they are not running on full screen but if I try to run them on full screen video freezes (after a few minutes, say 5). Interestingly, sound does not stop. I can still hear the latest news updates but the video does not correspond. Same videos are running fine whether full screen or not in vista.
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?
$ /usr/local/games/etqw/etqw-rthread ETQW 1.5.12663.12663 linux-x86 May 9 2008 13:57:26 found interface lo - loopback found interface eth0 - 192.168.1.102/255.255.255.0 CPU: AMD CPU with MMX & 3DNow! & SSE & SSE2 & SSE3
tried to do a search for this but it's a bit of a tricky thing to search for. Basically what I'm after is a solution for my work so I can stream a online radio station down to 1 server, and then have the clients stream the audio from that. Anyone know if that's possible?
so: Online Radio >> Server >> Clients
Any linux or winblows solution would be fine, I'm just trying to look for a solution that would cut down on the internet bandwidth usage, but still allow uses to listen to online radio.
running kubuntu 9.10 karmic koala, and my sound settings -at first glance- seem to be in order... a strange thing is occurring, is my machine haunted? my sound works when:
a. the machine boots up b. files are played in dragon player c. the machine shuts down
my sound does not work when:
1. i try to play streaming flash videos online (e.g. videos videos show the image but no sound will play) 2. the same goes for vlc media player: images yes, sound no. 3. i use skype *edit: additional problem*
i made no changes, that i know of, to my machine before this started happening. one day everything was working fine and i turned off my machine to go to sleep. the next day, i turn on my machine, and surprise, the sound doesn't work in some instances.
I recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 and I've been having problems with flash player. The problem occurs when I'm trying to play a video clip on You Tube or on similar sites. Video clips do not play properly, videos run slowly and with many interruptions, while on the other hand the sound is excellent and my internet connection is OK, only the quality of the video is poor. I am using: intel celeron 1800MHz 512 SD ram ATI Radeon 9550 Hardware Drivers displays no drivers for my graphic card...
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 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 was using audacious happily, but after the dist-update last week I can't get is working anymore. The error message is: audacious2: symbol lookup error: audacious2: undefined symbol: index_new
Version: audacious-2.2-1.pm.5.1 uname -a output is: Linux linux-9b84 2.6.27.39-0.2-default #1 SMP 2009-11-23 12:57:38 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Deleting .config/audacious, .local/share/audacious, and .cache/audacious doesn't help (it did with a similar problem before). how to get this program working again?
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.
