I haven't used ffmpeg for streaming as I always assumed it needed ffserver and it is aimed at broadcasting to mulitple users rather than a single stream. It makes sense to create a new topic and get other users' experiences. I think the use of 127.0.01. as a server address is wrong - I think 127.0.0.1 is only appropriate for clients. I think you should supply a real IP address as a server address in ffmpeg or vlc or whatever. Then you can use 127.0.0.1 or the real ip address in the URL to be played by player. Not sure why you think VLC solution is heavyweight - to play the stream you are creating ffmpeg will require ffmpeg, ffserver (I think) , mplayer and flac . Mplayer is a large lump of code with statically linked libraries which are all loaded into memory. Which means an ffmpeg/rtsp solution has a lots of processes, a number of tcp connections and lot of memory. IIRC vlc like ffmpeg have dynamically linked libraries so memory foot print is smaller. With vlc - streaming http/mp3 - only VLC is running - player will play http/mp3 direct on single tcp connection - LMS does no work at all in fact you don't even need LMS if player is connected to mysb.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90070 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
