ffmpeg: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame (computer 
too slow ?)

mine  ?

VLC crash for the first time here.

no but I m acquiring and playing back at the same time due to the 
hour here I can't use sound

I doubt is a cpu speed thing. Is must be bw, probably on my end. 
I have over 300+ remote units sending pkts to my server every 30 
secs. I am planning ot buy more bw but I have been lazy ...

Retrying...

;)

I have cut the play back  ;)

what I dislike with QT is the latency ... some time it just hangs 
we have squares on screen every where

I only get one picture of you and then it freezes and dies. With 
QT you will get on buffering and play a little then it will back 
to buffering...

what i like with shoutcast is the speed of connections

(In a bw starve situation)

I going to upgrade to newer version of VLC to see if that is the 
problem

okay ;)

would be cool to make a rebol multimedia server like it was proposed 
last year :)

(Dowloading....)

okay i'm trying to solve lost frames issue

This time a got more frames, but the image quality is really bad. 
I have a lot of 32x32 pixel color blocks...

???

What I like too is the hability to input texte over the image...

Then a bunch of errors that for some weird reason I can't copy here. 
Maybe Unicode chars.

are you looking at the stream actually ?

I have seen your face in one still with the previous VLC. With the 
newer one I just got squares of 32x32 pixels of different colors. 
So I guess the codec fail early.

???

But I got a bunch of those that seemed to be moving...

hum so it's vnc witch have a codec problem ;)

Don't know still there is the problem with the dropping pkts.

we can make on real time subtitleling using shoutcast or send to 
audience key points

I don't think this is good quality et all.

Regarding subtitling. That can be done also in Real Time with QT 
we just need a better QT-Broadcaster.

but it's dynamic subtittle ;)

well VLC is maybe problematic or have a codec problem

I know of some where you can have overlays, and preload the transparencies 
and do switching back and forth between multiple cameras, and slides 
with transition effects. Only that is cost about USD$400.

So I don't have it. I used the free one.

I'm trying with the other codec but then it's super slow

Same in QT Real Time special effects and subtittles.

This is the erros that I was getting from VLC.

yes but if you have ugly squares every where that means that the 
image is not decoded properly

I lost 1 frame every 3 seconds ;)

so the final word is that you don't like shoutcast ;)

0.8.2 is this the version you are using ?

yes but if you have ugly squares every where that means that the 
image is not decoded properly

 because usually codecs divide the image in sections and reconstruct 
 it by multiple phases from bigger grain (bigger square blocks) to 
 smaller (pixels). So my suspicion on the failure on the codec part. 
 It maybe a problem of not receiving enough data (frame drops or pkt 
 drops), or problems with jitter and interleaving.

maybe the support for shoutcast video stream is not optimal yet

with winamp and win2K it's quite good  ;)

Or maybe a very bad implementation.  Don't know enough about Shoutcast 
/ VLC combo to know more.

but not every one can use this I know

Yes version 0.8.2

I will go with Shoutcats if I see a benefit. So far I don't see one.

yes I understand I'm a win user for win/linux environnement it's 
quite good to use shoutcast but maybe MacOSX tools are still too 
young

We need platform coverage, real-time archiving and real-time broadcasting, 
broacast relaying, easy setup, low bw, and high quality.
