I am trying to restream some online windows formatted video streams to my G1 using VLC.
I have tried to get this working myself, with the help of google.
But I just can't get it working.
This should work... in theory:
cvlc -vvv "<url>" --sout '#transcode{soverlay,ab=42,samplerate=44100,channels=1,acodec=mp4a,vcodec=h264,width=328,height=288,fps=15,vb=200,venc=x264{vbv-bufsize=500,partitions=all,level=12,no-cabac,subme=7,threads=4,ref=2,mixed-refs=1,bframes=0,min-keyint=1,keyint=50,trellis=2,direct=auto,qcomp=0.0,qpmax=51}}:gather:rtp{mp4a-latm,sdp=rtsp://0.0.0.0:8000/news.sdp}'
I have alswo tried streaming over http: std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=0.0.0.0:8000}'
Whenever I try, Meridian just says "sorry, this video cannot be played."
This is the output from logcat:
I/ActivityManager( 97): Starting activity: Intent { data=rtsp://xx.xx.xx.xx:8000 flags=0x10000000 comp={org.iii.ro.meridian/org.iii.ro.meridian.VideoPlayActivity} }

honestly i just use ORB. It streams and converts the video(files, music, pictures, etc) on the fly to your phone. It is about as easy as it gets.

orb is pretty terrible in that it is restricted to windonkey on the server side. VLC is open source and probably the #1 media server/player for *nix, though also works for the donkey.
@DarkFoxDK: have you been able to transcode a static file for playback using VLC? I haven't tried with VLC yet (just mencoder). That is definitely a first step, to make sure that the encoding you are using is proper for the device. When you have that working, then try with the streaming. Is meridian even capable of receiving streaming video? I suppose that the best approach would be to develop a VLC-port for android.

Windows is just not an option... besides, I don't want to rely on a 3rd party service.

I haven't actually tried that yet, I'll do that as soon as I have the time.
Meridian is using the video view-thing in android like all the other apps, so yes. (Also, there's an "Open URL" option, with rtsp:// in it as default).
Yes, the mobile equivalent of VLC is CorePlayer and they're working on it: http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1327. I'ts pay-for but it'll play pretty much anything you throw at it (within limits).
Yes, it does indeed play with no problems, when I save it to a file.
Using std{access=file,dst=/home/martin/test.mp4}
I really have no clue where to go from here.
I had a similar adventure trying to get VLC streaming working a few months back. I pretty much got to the same spot you are. I then found that what Android supports is RTSP, not RTP streams (or at least that is how I interpreted it). From how I understood it RTSP is basically just a control channel for delivering RTP and other streams. Luckily VLC has VLM which is supposed to do RTSP stream management. You get to it in vlc->tools->VLM Configuration. I played around with that for a few hours, but never got it actually streaming. I got discouraged when I found someone reporting that RTSP was broken in the current 1.0 android build, but I never went back and tried again with cupcake. This is all from memory so might not be totally accurate. If you do figure it out, please post! If I get to hacking on it again I will do the same.
I almost got this working...
I set up Darwin Streaming Server and the sample files work (except for the h264 ones..).
But I just can't get VLC working...
According to this thread it seems to be a problem/bug with VLC: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=58616
did any of u guys try that feature in gmote ?? it has an otion of playback into phone..i tried with a mp3 file but it took me ages to buffer a 3mb file tho...

It doesn't work outside your own LAN, so it doesn't really work for that purpose..
GMote will stream over 3G, just follow the steps in its FAQ to forward ports and you're all set.

Ok, But can it take a live video stream and transcode it to a digestible format for the G1?
Anyways, I got restreaming working with these settings
Code:
vlc rtsp://streamer-01.dr.nordija.dk/dr1lowmp4 -I dummy --sout "#transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x264{no-cabac,level=12,vbv-maxrate=384,vbv-bufsize=1000,keyint=75,ref=3,bframes=0},width=320,height=180,acodec=mp4a,ab=64,vb=384}:rtp{dst=0.0.0.0,port=1234,sdp=file:///usr/local/movies/t.sdp,mp4a-latm}"

Can you please give more specifics on this? I am desperately trying to get the output from my Linksys WVC54GCA visible on my HTC Hero and I think this may be the key. The cam already outputs RTSP stream which I can view in VLC but Android players won't open it.
I assume that I could just substitute my source video for the one you're using, but then how would I view this on my device? Is there a specific URL I would use? (Note: my device, camera, and VLC are all on the same LAN)
Thanks for your help, I've been pulling my hair out over this, I'm pretty handy with a Linux shell but am not very knowledgeable about this streaming stuff.
OK, I figured out the last bit. I just need to replace the sdp= part with an rtsp:// URL, and then that's the URL I send to Meridian Player or Doga Player on my Android device. So the full vlc command is:
Code:
vlc -v http://<CAMERA_IP>/img/video.asf -I dummy --sout "#transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x264{no-cabac,level=12,vbv-maxrate=384,vbv-bufsize=1000,keyint=75,ref=3,bframes=0},width=320,height=180,acodec=none,ab=64,vb=384}:rtp{dst=,port=1234,sdp=rtsp://<COMPUTER_IP>:1234/stream.sdp,mp4a-latm}"
So then in Android I open the rtsp://<COMPUTER_IP>:1234/stream.sdp URL, which I assume is not the real data stream but rather is just info on how to open the video and audio streams.
It still doesn't look great but at least it's working, I'll mess around with the rest of the settings to try to get it to look decent (I'm guessing the closer I can get it to the original stream the better it will look).
Thanks for posting this, once I get it all working the way I want I'll post the final solution I came up with...
Happy streamer
I've been streaming media files and live satellite feeds with VLC to all my mobile devices for several years.
I just want to share my settings with you guys so you could try out what i've been happy with for many years.
I'm using VLC 0.8.6i and have all the settings in a m3u file. For media files replace the <media> with what you would like to stream.
The settings gives good quality stream and work great for streaming on a 3G and HSDPA network.
Code:
#EXTM3U
#EXTVLCOPT:sout=#transcode{vcodec=div3,vb=650,width=400,height=240,acodec=mp3,ab=96,channels=2,fps=25.0,samplerate=44100}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:88}} :sout-all
<media>
This m3u file can be used for streaming all types of media just replace <media> with what ever you like to stream.
Happy streaming.

hy bulldog64!
thx for that input - but i do not quite get it - do you http-serve the m3u file to the android-device via apache or do you just launch it on the server? when i execute your m3u-file it plays my video, but vlc outputs:"cant find file.."<your code>". how is it supposed to be set up? whats the url to call on the android-broswer (<ip>:88/<??which file>) ? thanks a lot! i have been trying to stream localy (from localhost to localhost) for some hours, but vlc´s syntax is too much for me, and after all i dont know the basics of streaming..
tinyDVR app works

Was hoping for a update here for a while. Looked all over for a solution... And just tonight found one!
TinyDVR (free via market)!
All other apps failed miserably. (At least with the WVC54GCA linksys cams) Even that 'IP cam viewer - lite' app failed. (i wasnt willing to shell out 10 bucks for the pro.)
Anyway! Yay
i found this to work locally:
Code:
vlc <path-to-video-file> :sout=#transcode {vcodec=h264,vb=256,width=320,height=280,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=64,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:8085}} :sout-all
but now, which (free) client on android can open streams ?? got a galaxy and the browser wont launch the player.
You can use Dogaplayer to get the stream.
Do you have the option with the M3U file of Bulldog64 working?
I have the same problem:
VLC plays the file, but doesn't stream anything if I start the M3U on my server.
For me it would be great to get it working!
I have made a M3U file with a playlist of all my DVB-T TV card channels.
So when it's possible to get the stream code working in the M3U file , I can watch and zap TV on my mobile.
hy
no dogaplayer wont access 3g on my galaxy s - "cant play video"- i got no network activity, so i assume it has trouble getting out to the network. so far i have found "vlc stream&convert" an app that can remote control vlc, browse directories and start streming and play the stream. on my galaxy s it starts streaming (network activity, vlc log file shows start) bit it doesnt show any video or audio.
Try TCP port 554 for streaming and open your dynamic UDP ports (I think all > 41000)in your router. This works for me. I use Vodafone as a provider and they only allow rtsp video streams over TCP port 554. Music (mp3) streams is also possible over http.
Have you any results with M3U playfiles?
I use VLC Stream & Convert too, but if I select the M3U playlist file and start VLC web interface on my PC server, I see in Stream & Convert all information about the actual playlist file, but I receive no video and sound signal. Other video files (such as MPG, MP4) works OK, so it is not a settings problem. I don't have a credit card, so I don't know if you have to have the Pro version for this. Can anyone tell me?
This is also the reason I want the M3U file to contain streaming & convert settings, so I can view the stream with Dogaplayer, so without the use the app. Stream & Convert.
Has anyone seen a problem with playing AVI movies? I have tried like 3 different video players (RockPlayer, Mobo, Vplayer Pro) and they all play fine for like 20-30 seconds and playback stops. I've tried this with a few movies and they all seem to do the same thing.
I can't figure out why it does this?
Anyone else seeing the same thing?
Here is some of the logcat output that is shown when the video stops playing with MoboPlayer:

No problems with moboplayer, I get some random FC with VitalPlayer
maybe you can post a media info about your avi file?
I did a wipe and now I'm no longer having the issue.
What kind of wipe? System wipe????
I have watched 5 movies formatted in avi on my a500 using the preloaded nemoplayer and rockplayer.....
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
I had avi playing fine at first. I then did a little rooting, got it set up for ad-hoc support and then got netflix running. Now when i try and play avi files, it tells me it cannot play the file. Tried the novo and the built in video player. did the netflix hack break something?
P.S. i am sorry i am little new to this. so go easy on me lol
yeah mobo player is not as good as everyone says it is. why don't you give it a try to mx player. they have a free version just like mobo and i found their playback to be much less troublesome and greater format support than mobo.
+1 to the post above mine
Rockplayer and Moboplayer and diceplayer have never worked nearly as well as Mx player (at least in my experience). It is totally free, and has hardware decoding as well as two modes of software decoding available. In my experience, it plays everything I have thrown at it.
Is there any new news about playing 720p and 1080p video files on this tablet ?
This is very important for me to make a decision for buying it.

Only problem with mx is that you have to tell the program where your video files are. I have a 1tb drive that I use with my acer and when I tell mx to use it it takes forever to load every single video file in my 1tb into a single folder... I much prefer mobo's file browser approach!! Some of my divx avi's didn't play on mx... they all play on mobo (in soft decode mode)
Would you please somebody help me to find out how plays the following video formats on Iconia A500 :
720P - MKV - more than 4Gb ?
720P - MKV - Under 4 Gb ?
720p - MP4 ?
720p - Avi ?
And other video formats .

It all depends on the codecs used. MKV, MP4, AVI, etc are just containers multiplexing the video, audio and subtitle streams. For example I can play an 720p avi fine wth mx player and can't play a 480p avi (both play fine on my laptop with vlc). Anyway if you decide to reencode, I found out that setting the desired file size to 1gb and using 2-pass x264 codecs for the video and 128 kbps aac (mp4 file of course) for the audio gives satisfactory results. Video quality could be bit better but on the other hand I'd prefer to have more videos on it. Reencoding takes quite a while, but since I got the iconia I rarely use my laptop, so it sits quietly in the corner and utilizes it's quad-core cpu

Thanks for your explanation , Actually I want to use Iconia A500 as a video payer not any more .
As a matter of fact and with regard to your explanation it will not be usefull for playing video file .
Since a large number of my video files are 1280 * 720 or 1280 * 544 with high bit rate in both audio and video I think I have to change my mind for buying Iconia A500 . Am I right ?
so far, i have used the oem players and they dont work for the movies i am trying to load. i.e.: mp4, avi....etc i downloaded mx player and boom. im in business. this is why i like xda and have been here like flies on s**t......lol

No tablet currently can play 1080p natively, as no tablet has a resolution of 1080p or higher. IIRC the next Gen Samsung tabs will have a native resolution higher than 1080p.
I recently instaleld Acer_A501_4.066.31_COM_GEN1 on my Australian A501. With this or the 4.066.29 provided by Moscow Desire, I cannot play YouTube videos, neither in the browser or in the YouTube app. The app starts but video will not play. This is with a clean install (cache/system/data wipe). I have tried with 3.5.3, 3.5.4 [stock] and 3.5.5 [latest] YouTube app.
Can provide logcat grabs, but it appears the OMX codec (hardware acceleration) for h264 fails to start on the 3.2.1 ROMs. I had the same problem with some regions of 3.2 rom too.
Any tips appreciated, but for now it's back to 4.483.01 for me (YouTube works fine in this w/ any version of YouTube app).
i had a similar problem. im not sure what browser you are using but in dolphin browser go into the settings and change your display from android to computer i think. and should work.... it will use more data so if your on mobile data you will want to change it back to android to save your data.

Can provide logcat grabs, but it appears the OMX codec (hardware acceleration) for h264 fails to start on the 3.2.1 ROMs. I had the same problem with some regions of 3.2 rom too.
Any tips appreciated, but for now it's back to 4.483.01 for me (YouTube works fine in this w/ any version of YouTube app).

I'm running 3.2.4, and seems ok here in Moscow. Generally, I don't let any of my apps auto-update, especially the Market App.
So, it's not just youtube. It's anything that tries to use the hardware accelerated h264 codec. MX Video Player in software mode works fine.
There seems to be some issue starting the OMX Codec HW Accel.

Can anyone provide a logcat for playing a YouTube video on 3.2.1? Just from the activity creation including any OMX Codec / nvos* entries.
