Hi,
I'm trying to stream video with an external player, but i don't manage. I made a lot of search, so i'm sorry if an answer has been already post! :-(

Streaming works with music, but doesn't with video like avi files.

Here is my encoder line for avi files :

ffmpeg -i %s -f mpeg -b 128k -

Is there something else to do ?

Thanks

If you are using an external player try turning off the transcoding options in SS for external player.
VLC will use its own codecs so need to transcode.
I can get external player with playlist to work ok with vlc but never had much luck with the other option.

I tried, but it doesn't change anything. But thanks for the ideas. :p
