Streaming via VLC

I'm trying to set up a video stream through VLC. Remote clients are able to use the stream, but they do not play anything and just sit with buffering at 0%. This occurs with computers in my local network as well. My router is also correctly configured to forward port 8080 to my computer.
The only thing I can think of that would block this is /etc/hosts.deny, which is set to "ALL: ALL: DENY". What would I need to add to /etc/hosts.allow in order for streaming via VLC to work?

Falcata - did you ever get this working? I've been playing around with trying to stream from VLC to XBMC on 2 systems in my home and am not having any luck. Was wondering if perhaps you could share with us what you ultimately did to get this working. That is assuming of course that you did eventually have success.
Thanks!

I watch a video stream via VLC plugin; how can I open it in VLC player?

In Windows 7 I watch TV streams that use the VLC plugin; I would like to know how to obtain the stream "address" and open it in the VLC Player itself!?

Then ask on a vlc forum, or the TV support site.
Some companies streaming TV will not be intending for you to operate in such a manner and potentially save their content. Copyright issues are likely to be involved.

Deliver HTTP ABR HDS+HLS Streams via Player Object to All Devices

I have been unable to successfully establish a single video player object (similar to when delivering single-bitrate streams via FLVPlayback component with Flash Pro) that will automatically detect the browser type and automatically deliver the appropriate .f4m or .m3u8 manifest when broadcasting using HTTP adaptive bitrate streaming with FMLE3 and AMS5.
I have both the HDS and HLS streaming working separately--the AMS5 sample videoPlayer.html file will accept and play video content when fed the URL: http://csitsfms.sys.oakland.edu/mbrBlack.f4m; however, I have not had success in getting any .f4m streams initiated in any other fashion.
Also, HLS streaming is verified to be working on: http://csitsfms.sys.oakland.edu/mbrBlack.m3u8 when using an option such as VLC Player's File -> Open Network Stream command.
The end desired result is that a user will navigate to a particular URL and the browser autodetects whether to deliver the .f4m or the m3u8 manifest and initiate the appropriate stream to a single video playback object.
We've had FMS up and running since v3.5; however, have just recently upgraded to AMS5.0.x and would like to enable adaptive bitrate streaming to all devices; we have no problem with single-bitrate streaming to Flash-enabled devices.
I have also tried using the sample videoPlayer.html page's auto-generated code, dropping that onto an otherwise empty HTML document; however, Error 2048 was returned instead of a valid stream. Using a similar process with the OSMF generator, the error standard error, "We are having problems with playback. We apologize for the inconvenience."
It may be noted that we have SWFVerification enabled for our domain, in case this is what may be impeding our efforts.

take a look at this links
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/adobe-media-server/articles/beginning-fms45-pt01.html
i think you are not calling the video properly in the HTTP URL.
http://csitsfms.sys.oakland.edu/mbrBlack.f4m willnot work. If you are using the AMS videoplayer.html use the embeded code and paste it in a html file.
http://domain.com/hds-vod/filename.f4m WILL NOT WORK . This will only display the content of the f4m file.

[SOLVED] streaming for VLC

There is a NAS (running Arch) and a workstation (also running Linux - not Arch). The WS accesses NAS via WiFi. Currently NAS shares resources with Samba. File transfer (with cp or, say, worker file manager) works fine (6-8 MByte/sec, and up to 10-12 MByte/sec with iperf). But when VLC (or Kaffeine) plays HD video (opened from cifs mount point), a speed is just up to 2-3 MByte/sec resulting in broken playing back. Probably the way video engines explore a filesystem is not in harmony with cifs
So, the question. Can anybody point me to another - not filesystem based - way of multimedia content steaming suitable to be consumed by VLC? NAS resources are limited by hardware: Arch is running on USB stick (and RAID1 for data), 2GB RAM, Celeron E320.

OK, I have tried minidlna and mediatomb, but also have got stumbling playing back (for HD video). Can not understand why TCP/IP directly (iperf) and file transfer (cifs mount point) do work excellent, while video playing back (both with cifs and streaming) via the same WiFi connection doesn't
Any suggestions?

Photo Stream (via iCloud) is no longer working on PC -- w/o system changes

Photo Stream (via iCloud) worked great on my Windows PC a week ago. Suddenly it's stopped entirely. When I attempt to open it, I get an error message that says that "Photo Stream is not enabled" and that I should go to the iCloud Control Panel. When I go to the Control Panel to initiate the change, I can put a check mark in the box to activate it, but it will not retain the change when I hit apply/save. It also disables Windows Explorer when I do this.
I don't believe this is an IOS6 issue since it was working fine for a period of time after I put IOS6 on both my iPhone and iPad devices. I've also not made any changes to the Windows laptop involved.
Is anyone else having this problem. Any suggestions on how to resolve it?

After upgrading to iOS 8.1, upgrading to the latest iTunes and re-installing iCloud for Windows, Photo Stream is working again!

Might be a Safari extension...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
If there are any extensions installed, turn that OFF, then quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Apple TV2 streaming via Airplay. No picture, but sound

Internet ok, Youtube ok, but streaming from iPad 2 via Airplay to TV 2 is only sound, no picture

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What are you trying to stream via AirPlay, websites and apps need enabling by the developer, not all are. Some simply haven't got around to it and others don't want to (often for licensing reasons I assume)

Outputing Raw Stream via airport express

What is the output of the airport express optical port? Is a raw stream of the original audio file? thx

For the AirPort Express (AX), audio input is primarily provided by iTunes. Of course, it can also get input from other sources like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil.
iTunes does most of the work. When iTunes plays back standard audio content (AAC, MP3, audiobooks, Internet music streams, etc., it decompresses those file formats and creates what's essentially a raw, uncompressed audio stream. That stream is compressed using Apple's Lossless Compression (via a QuickTime codec), encrypted, and then, streamed (via AirTunes/AirPlay) to the AX. The AX decrypts the stream, decodes it, and outputs it in either analog format or as a digital PCM stream.
If iTunes is playing back a digital multichannel file format like AC3 (Dolby Digital) or DTS, those bitstreams (like the lossy formats) are wrapped in Apple's Lossless compression, encrypted, and then, streamed to the AX. In these cases, the AX would first decode the stream, and then, output the raw AC3 or DTS stream via its optical digital audio port.

Audition 1.0 - Problem beim aufnehmen von Live-Streams via RealPlayer

Ich hoffe, das mir jemand weiterhelfen kann. Es geht um folgendes:
Ich nehme mit Adobe Audition 1.0 einen Radio-Live Stream via RealOne Player 10 übers Internet auf.
Die reale Zeit der Aufnahme entsprach genau 60 Minuten, aber die aufgenommene Zeit der Audiodatei nur 55 min. Was heißt das nun ?
Innerhalb der Aufnahme wurde in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen für mehrere Sekunden nichts aufgezeichnet, d.h. ich habe Aussetzer im Audiomaterial über die gesamte Datei hinweg !
Hört sich echt scheiße an !
Ich habe das Problem durch verschidene Testläufe schon soweit eingegrenzt, daß ich genau sagen kann, es liegt definitiv am Programm RealPlayer 10 - also weder an der Hardware (incl. Soundkarte) noch an Adobe Audition selbst. Da bin ich relativ sicher, da es in diesen Fällen geklappt hat !(keine Aussetzer).
Ich habe die Verbindungs-Einstellungen im RealPlayer (RTSP/PNA)so belassen, wie sie waren, also nur die Standardwerte genommen !
Ach ja, mit dem Windows-Media Player habe ich es auch mal versucht. Da ich aber nur eine ISDN-Verbindung habe, war die Qualität dieser Streams noch schlechter als beim RealPlayer, sodass diese Möglichkeit für mich nicht in Betracht kommt ! Ich benutze übrigens das Betriebssystem Windows 98 SE.
Kann mir jemand sagen, wie ich dieses Problem beheben kann ?
Vielleicht durch irgendwelche Änderungen der Verbindungs-einstellungen (RTSP/PNA)?
Bin mit meinem Latein am Ende !

Hi,
ich denke mal das es daran liegt das zu viele Anwendungen (oder auch nur eine) im Hintergrund liegen die zu viel Systemresourcen benötigen. Virenscanner sind da so ein Schlagwort. Einfach mal STRG+ALT+ENTF drücken (fals das bei WinSE so geht) und mal schauen wiviele Programme denn so laufen. Dann unter "Prozesse" nach denen Ausschau halten die ständig viel CPU-Auslastung benötigen und eventuell abschalten. Des weiteren könnte es natürlich auch am Rechner liegen. CPU und RAM wären da zu nennen. Möglicherweise ist der Rechner einfach nur überlastet.

Radio streaming via a router?

Since my uncle added a router between his Tower PPC Single 1.8 and his Dell, he can no longer receive any radio streaming. Considering he is an avid international radio listener, to say that he is peeved is an understatement.
Disconnecting the router from the entire system restores radio streaming 100%. So my question is: once a router is connected, do one or several ports need to be opened somewhere to allow radio streaming?
* Guy

Virtual PC
Thanks for the info, it'll allow me to open the appropriate ports *IF* I can figure out a few questions.
But first, here's more on the situation:
-I thought my uncle streamed his radio servers from an Airport Base station to his AEX. Wrong. He doesn't own a Basestation. He turned his PPC into an Airport Transmitter and that was enough.
- Here's a list of things that don't work since the router has been installed:
* His USB Logitech microphone will not transmit on either iChat (3.0) or Skype. The 'potentiometer' visibly works in the Sound System Pref, but the mike will not operate out of his computer. However, reception from others is OK in both Skype and iChat.
* Radio streaming via iTunes.
* Real Player radio. (Unable to connect to the server)
- His new router is a DI-604 by D-Link. In this link (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93333), the router is an 'acceptable' router from Apple's point of view. Now I need to know: does this router have its own firewall on by default? My uncle's PPC firewall is off and he wants to keep it that way. I don't know much about the D-Link, he threw the box and instalation manual in the garbage already. Not only is he technophobic, he also considers manuals are for wusses...
- If I need to access the ports on the D-link, how do I do it: via the host server? Terminal? Some funky app?
- By tomorrow morning, I'm sure I'll have more questions to ask, but hopefully someone will have answers to the above.

Can an iPod touch be used for streaming via wifi from iTunes ?

Hi,
I suspect the answer is 'No' but I'd love someone to tell me otherwise.
Thanks

You can also use Tversity to stream audio and video content from your PC to the iPhone or iPod Touch.
http://tversity.com/home
There are some crippling limitations, however:
1) It appears that right now, all videos need to be transcoded to iPod format before they can stream. And unlike streaming via the Xbox or other devices, the transcoding has to completely finish before you can stream the video, whereas other devices allow you to transcode and stream on the fly.
2) There doesn't appear to be a way to shuffle music or use playlists. So if you stream music, you can only play one song and then use the interface to select another... it won't keep playing from a playlist or automatically go to another song.
I can confirm, however, that the streaming does indeed work with the iPod Touch, not just the iPhone. I tried it myself and it worked, but the limitations above make it impractical for me to use regularly. Perhaps the folks at Tversity will be able to add more features over time.

WVC80N view/capture mpeg4 stream with VLC

Wanted to see if anyone knows what path to use to view the mpeg4 stream thru VLC from a linksys WVC80N IP camera. I've been successful in viewing the mjpeg stream using the following path:
http://xx.xx.xx.xx/img/video.mjpeg
Does anyone know what alteration to this path is needed to watch the mpeg4 stream?
thank you for any assistance. this has been bugging me for a while now.

Sure Http://userass@ip/img/video.asf Or Rtsp://userass@ip/img/video.sav

You've done great so far to upgrade to Leopard & install more RAM. Now install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
After you install the 10.5.8 update, click on the Apple in the menu & select Software Update. You will then be informed of some application updates. iTunes may be one of them. Then click to install the app updates.
