Hi Haris,
Yes, liquidsoap supports video. It is not used very much, essentially
because the model for video is the same as for audio, meaning the we
decode all inputs and reencode before output. While this is generally
unnoticed for audio, it can be quite costly for video. However, if you
want to mix video, you can't really expect anything else than
decoding+mixing+encoding, so this shouldn't come as a surprise.
The other reason why there aren't so many examples around is that they
are not so different from audio examples. Most operators are the same,
the most notable exception being outputs. If you have a playlist of
video files, just try output.sdl(fallible=true,playlist("file.txt")).
You can also use add(), switch() and other common operators.
Besides the video-static example, you can have a look at
<http://savonet.sourceforge.net/on2_part3.html>. I have also recently
used liquidsoap to capture video + audio and create short videos of
talks given by students. A few months ago, I've created a quick and
dirty video conferencing system using harbor I/O (builtin icecast) and
webcam inputs. However, this last experiment revealed some bugs that
have not been fully understood and fixed: while our video
infrastructure is mature, the fact that it isn't used much means that
several bugs are still hidden here and there...
Anyway, I hope this can be useful to get you started. Don't hesitate
to ask more specific questions later on.
Have fun,
