Streaming from PCH to network

[naight]

Hi, all

Is it possible to stream media from NMT to other device in the network (PC, other NMT, etc)? for example http streaming.

Cheers.

You can definitely do it to other PCH via http because you can use myihome. Not sure if other network devices would recognise the upnp of myihome.

How can I do this? Some examples, links, etc, please.

If you have two nmts on the network both with the myihome app running, each will see the other, there's not much more to it than that. As I said I don't know if this works for non-nmt.

Ok, thanks

The other thing you can do of course, is have the smb or nfs apps running and you can access the PCH via anything that is capable of SMB or NFS sharing. Not HTTP streaming tho, but would work with lots of devices.

Thanks for your answer

I need to create an application with streaming functionality over the network using RTP (over UDP). This app is run on NMT.
So, I have a set of questions:
1. Streaming media over the networks assumes encoding/transcoding media streams. Are these operations are possible using hardware? Or NMT hardware (codecs) supports only decoding media streams for playback?
2. Can I use VLC (using cross compiling for MIPs) as a media streamer from PCH?

Any suggestions?

You can use llink (available in CSI) for http-streaming, but I think it will require some customization of a skin.

There is VLC compiled by vaidyasr, and there's udpxy and rtmpdump (in ipkg feeds) - perhaps these tools can get you further?
I haven't tried to stream from NMT myself, but from what I've read from other users it should be doable.

Hi all.

I tried to cross-compile VLC but without success.
VLC source code: 1.1.7
Configuration:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/uma/libs/cross-compile/iconbit/vlc/  --host=mipsel-linux --build=i686-linux --enable-xvideo --enable-sdl --enable-libmpeg2 --enable-vorbis --enable-ogg --enable-theora --enable-mkv --enable-freetype --enable-fribidi   --enable-speex --enable-flac --enable-caca   --enable-alsa --enable-ncurses  --disable-lua --disable-mad --disable-faad --disable-a52 --disable-glx --disable-libgcrypt -disable-remoteosd --disable-qt4 --disable-skins2 --enable-static

Configuration completes successfully.
Then I try to compile using make and the first target is failed:

Code:

CC     libvlccore_la-libvlc.lo
In file included from ../include/vlc_common.h:526,
                 from libvlc.c:40:

make[4]: *** [libvlccore_la-libvlc.lo] Error 1

I found some related solution:

Code:

sudo sed -e 's/define\s*_POSIX_SPIN_LOCKS\s*/define _POSIX_SPIN_LOCKS -1 \/\/ wrong: /g' -i /usr/include/bits/posix_opt.h

But it doesn't work, compilation is failed.

Any ideas?
