Hi! I'm currently trying to set up a personal video recorder in form of a headless server using mencoder and freevo.
What I would like to do is watching the movie while mencoder is realtime encoding it to x264/vorbis in a Matroska container. I already tried it using sshfs. Unfortunately, the file is only read up to the point where it ended when playing it started. I don't know if NFS would behave better. Well, what I thought about was doing it like this: #!/bin/bash mencoder [...] -o - | tee video.mkv | stream-app So far it should work and vlc would be the natural choice for the streaming app. However, vlc seems unable to read from a pipe so I need something else. Can anyone give me a tip? maybe I missed an option in vlc or can someone propose an app that can be used instead? By the way: It's a 100MBit ethernet network without any switches or hubs. The machines are right next to each other. I hope it will be a 400 or even 500MBit net soon, but that's another topic ...
