Streaming problem with external player (vlc,winamp...)

Postby epsi » Sun Sep 18, 2011 10:34 am

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
epsi

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. :?

Due to the confusion from too many genres of music, we have decided to put both country music and rap music into the genre of Crap music.
