I created a html page on my MythTV server called
stream.html with the following contents:
<html>
<head>
VLC Streaming to Nexus One
</head>
<body>
<h1>VLC Streaming to Nexus One</h1>
<a href="rtsp://192.168.1.5:5554/stream.sdp">Stream</a>
</body>
</html>
I started an http server on my MythTV server using
python -m SimpleHTTPServer. I started this command in the same directory I saved the stream.html file in. I started the VLC streaming with the following single line command:
vlc Hot_in_Cleveland_2010-06-16_10-00_PM_Pilot.mpg -I http --sout "#transcode{soverlay,ab=128,samplerate=44100,channels=2,acodec=mp4a,vcodec=h264,width=480,height=270,vfilter="canvas{width=480,height=270,aspect=16:9}",fps=25,vb=800,venc=x264{level=12,no-cabac,subme=20,threads=4,bframes=0,min-keyint=1,keyint=50}}:gather:rtp{mp4a-latm,sdp=rtsp://0.0.0.0:5554/stream.sdp}"
Then with my WiFi connected Nexus One I open the browser to
http://192.168.1.5:8000/stream.htmlI clicked on the stream link and watched the video file
Hot_in_Cleveland_2010-06-16_10-00_PM_Pilot.mpg specified in the VLC command. I've only got an standard definition recording to play so far. My HD recordings playback with a blank screen. I hear the audio. I'm sure there are some settings I need to tweak on the VLC command.
Below are the specs from the video as provided by the
ffmpeg command.
