Has anyone ever streamed video and audio using VLC before? Try as I might, nothing seems to work (get garbled video or lots of buffer underrun messages from VLC server). The videolan website claims that all the documentation on streaming is outdated too, so there's no help there.

I have been using WebcamXP, but changed over to Ububtu. Is there a similar program that works like that?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use a Panasonic DVCPro HD camera as a webcam to stream live video from the camera to services like ustream.tv. Currently, the only way I can find to connect the camera to my computer puts the camera into a special pc connect mode (which does not allow recording) and makes the cameras p2 cards detected as drives. Obviously, this doesn't help me do live streaming (I don't even need to record on the camera).I've seen that on Mac OS X a program called camtwist can be used to do what I want, but it would be nice to find an ubuntu/linux solution.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a USB webcam connected to a server (dmesg output below). It is currently running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS server edition. So it has no X, and I don't want to install any. What I am looking for is a command line program to capture video from this webcam and store it. Also, something that can capture just pictures would be nice (but once I have a video file, I know how to get individual pictures from that). A nice plus would be setting this up as a video stream for other computers to stream the video from (to do what they can do with a stream, like view it in real time, capture individual pictures, save it). If setting up a stream makes the capture part easier, I could go for that. This camera works in the cheese GUI program on a desktop. Colors are bad in bright lights, but then, it's a cheap camera.
I prefer the output/stream in a free/libre video format (vp8/webm, ogg/theora, or dirac), but other formats that Linux software exists for (to record and play) can work if the free ones can't be done. Google finds lots of GUI ways to do this (mostly references to cheese). I did find one page that suggests "mencoder". But it doesn't find this webcam. I found a camera stream server called "camserv". It seems to find this camera, but then freezes. When I start camserv, the camera's blue light goes off, but no video is ever delivered from a web page reference. When I stop it, the camera is in an unusable state and has to be unplugged to reset it (so it can be used with "cheese"). So I'm looking for other software.

I have an apache server here that i would like to add a webcam to, to stream video to a webpage hosted on said server. Now i hit some trouble using 10.10 with v4l2 not being able to make use of my webcam.
So this is where i stand right now:
I have ubuntu 9.10 Server installed Apache2 (good install, shows default page on networked computers) Static IP of 192.168.1.4 openssh (works fine) Samba sharing /var/www to my windows machine Logitech C120m connected via USB 2.0
I have tryed 2 guides using both webcam-server and VLC, Neither worked however one would show a single frame when i connected to the webpage when i tryed on other ubuntu desktop, but wouldn't refresh unless i rebooted. I tryed the webcam on my other 9.10 computer and it worked fine with cheese (Video0 is there on the server)
The server has pretty much a clean install with nothing on it (yet). I have 3 empty 40GB hard drives, so installing and testing another release of ubuntu.
I successfully installed darwin streaming server .. I stream Audio through internet well but videos I can stream locally in my network only .. when I am connected to internet outside my network .. it doesn't stream I think their must be ports opened for that .. or any 1 have any ideas .. the audio is streamed on port 8000 .. video is streamed on port 7070 but locally only .. I opened those 2 ports in my router only the audio is working .. also I opened ports 554,7170 disabled the firewall of the router .. is it a problem of ports or something else .

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and put some music from my flash drive onto my computer. I play the music and it opens with Totem music player, but I cannot figure out for the life of me why it's streaming if it's on the disk Ubuntu is installed on. I can't skip to certain places in music or movies, and if I pause anything to go AFK for 5 seconds and press play to resume, it goes back to the beginning. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I forgot to mention that there was a codec I downloaded to try and view a SWF file in Totem and it still wouldn't play. Perhaps that's the problem? Anyone know the name of the codec so I can get rid of it?
I want to use Ubuntu, but I'd like to listen to my favourite audio stream like I do for Windows.I have installed Audacious from the Synaptic Package Manager when I found out that my new Ubuntu installation didn't install an audio device as part of its installation, and then I installed something called 'Xine' as prompted when,after I went to the home-page of my audio source,I discovered that I needed to install some extra 'codecs'.However, I still cannot get the familiar noise that surrounds me when I'm working within Windows to play on Ubuntu. No noise is produced. What's going on?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just have a quick question regarding what seems to be an endless amount of TV streaming and recording programs available for Ubuntu. I would think there must be some kind of copyright-infringement lawsuit hanging over their heads, considering the companies who make the software are providing free access to a service which would normally be paid. Am I wrong? It really would be nice to be able to get free TV on my laptop, but before I go amd use the programs I want to make sure I won't run into hot water.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAbout a year ago I installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 Karmic on a machine at my work to act as a file/print server and ftp host. I managed this with a lot of googling and reading of forums and it's still all working exactly as it did on day 1!

The radio station streams in a m3u format.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a free account with Ubuntu One account and I was thinking about getting the music streaming service. I was curious though, what do people think of their Ubuntu One music streaming. I'm having a hard time finding reviews and I've considered a couple other options including Audiogalaxy which streams my entire music collection on Ubuntu through wine (and I've heard works very well). It also has an iOS and Android app as well as web streaming. So as I see it the things Audiogalaxy is limited by are: you need to have your computer on all the time (whenever/wherever you want to stream) and it's on your local drive VS being safely stored in the Ubuntu One server.
I haven't tried setting up Audiogalaxy on my Ubuntu box yet. I'm still trying to decide. The other question is what about services like Amazon player and google music? Ubuntu One seems to be the most expensive.
I have an account to log into Coasttocoastam Site and listen to the streaming audio. On windows it plays with either Windows Media Player OR Real Player. I've always just used Windows media player.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI don't know why, but I can't seem to just play video files (stream them) directly through the internet using MPC or any other media player. It is a bit weird, because I think I was able to just a month ago. I have made some changes to the general setup of the apache server, but nothing major, and I have no chance of reversing it all.
Instead, when I try opening the url using "Open file" it doesn't just open it an begin playing from the internet, but instead appears to be frozen. However, If I let it be "frozen" long enough, it will eventually play the file, indicating that it has downloaded the entire file to a temp location on the hard drive.
Is it something with the permissions? Actually, I went and made everything in /var/www/ 777, as it is not known by a domain name or registered anywhere. I am just connecting though my IP address as the server is located locally. Even this didn't help.
I've started to have problems getting some streaming videos to either go full screen or go full screen properly.
On [url] when I want to watch a South Park episode full screen it pops up a little box that says "Error Full Screen Not Allowed" and if I hover my mouse over the video connection icon is says
"current video stream 750 kbps* Max video stream 800kbps Avalible in HDGo to Fullscreen *limited by this computer"
The current avaible bandwith speed averages 2500kbps and I have a 7000kbps connection with Speedboost.
When I use Windows XP I can go to full screen with South Park Videos, only in Ubuntu can I not go full screen.
With Hulu it will go into full screen but not always the porpper way. Sometimes it will go full screen but other times it will go full screen but I have to minimize the browser window and then maximize it again and the video will play full screen but apear to be playing on the desktop as wallpaper. I don't get this problem in XP.
