first question:
i stream musik (and sometimes musik) to more than one device in my home. the most devices i have accept http or mms. i bought a pinnacle showcenter 250hd to stream to my tv. but this device seams to only understand upnp av. so i would like to stream from vlc to this device with wild media server in the middle. how can i do this?
second question:
some of my vids are flv, so i have to transcode them to mpeg or something. this works but it brings two probs.
a) the streamed vid lags sometimes at random position. after the lag the vid is playing with more speed for some seconds (depending on the duration of the lag). then it plays again with normal speed. if it lags once the lags seams to increase.
b) the vid normaly has a other size then the transcoding output. the missing parts (normaly left and right side 4:3 -> 16:9) are gray on tv. this looks not very good.
specialy the problem a is very annoying - 2 of 3 transcoded playbacks are totally lagging..
(transcoding fps>40)
can you tell me how to correct this?
an other idea was to do the transcoding via vlc because it is a bit faster and supports more codings.
so it maybe is has the same solution as the first question.
edit: tryed the transcoding thing with the following:
Code: Select all
const
csVideoLanParams =
'-Idummy --language en --sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=1024,scale=1,' +
'acodec=mp3,ab=%d,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:' +
'duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst="<OUTPUT FILE>"}}' +
' "<INPUT FILE>" vlc://quit';
begin
TranscodingParams := Format(csVideoLanParams, [Min(cfgTranscodingAudioBitrate div 1000, 192)])
end.
