I have spent the past 24 hours, more or less, trying to get liquidsoap to
stream MPG video files out over IceCast.
I have been using IceCast and ShoutCast for a number of years to provide
streaming audio and radio services so its not a problem with the configuration
at that side.
I tried using the standard apt-get install liquidsoap on Ubuntu 14.04
liquidsoap --version ====> 1.1.1
with : output.icecast(%ogg(%theora,%vorbis), host=,port=,password=...)
Could not get a valid media file of kind {audio=2;video=1;midi=0} from
"video.mp4".
then liquidsoap does not start
with : output.icecast(%ogg(%vorbis), host=,port=,password=...)
the audio track plays perfectly
I tried using the standard apt-get install liquidsoap on Ubuntu 16.04
liquidsoap --version ====> 1.1.1
with : output.icecast(%ogg(%theora,%vorbis), host=,port=,password=...)
Could not get a valid media file of kind {audio=2;video=1;midi=0} from
"video.mp4".
then liquidsoap does not start
with : output.icecast(%ogg(%vorbis), host=,port=,password=...)
the audio track plays perfectly
I have tried the new "opam" installation
liquidsoap --version ====> 1.3.0
liquidsoap starts, but
Could not get a valid media file of kind {audio=2;video=1;midi=0} from
"video.mp4". message sent to logs
then URL error when connecting to the stream
then liquidsoap stops
I have tried the compilations from the source packaged from the git
liquidsoap --version ====> 1.3.0
many problems with missing pieces especially the m4 macros which needed to be
copy pasted from the GIT by hand
when it was finally compiled it behaved like the opam installation
The video file is perfectly viewable using VLC, HTML5 Video element and Windows
Media Player
file video.mp4 ====> video.mp4: ISO Media, MP4 v2 [ISO 14496-14]
Any ideas out there as to how to get this all working properly for streaming of
MPG videos ?
Sincerely
Jamie Marshall
