Video streaming tests

Sometimes this is a video stream relay for different events. Last time this was a 100MBit/s relay for the streaming from the 26C3 with a overlay⁰ of the corresponding IRC channels (#26c3-saal1,#26c3-saal2,#26c3-saal3).

Relayed using vlc (version 1.0.3, debian/unstable vlc-nox package):

vlc --mms-caching=8000 --mms-maxbitrate 3000000 -vv \
"mms://streaming-26c3-wmv.fem-net.de/saal1" \
--sout-keep \
--sout '#transcode{vcodec=theora,vb=400,acodec=vorb,ab=96,width=576,height=432,audio-sync=1,'\
'sfilter={marq{marquee=$F,size=10,y=450}}}'\
':gather:standard{access=http{mime=video/ogg},mux=ogg,dst=:40000}' \
--loop

At the moment it is just streaming a test stream using icecast2. The video was synthesized using gauche scheme, emacs, ffmpeg...

Streaming choices

• direct link to video stream:

  http://kallisto.karme.de:40000/test.ogv

  (should work with vlc, mplayer, ...)

• using object tag:

  stream 1

  (suitable for vlc/totem/..., should work on most linux and other free software systems)

• using java applet:

  stream 1

• using html5 video tag:

  stream 1

  (reported to work with firefox 3.5 - thanks to No934_1, tested with iceweasel from debian/squeeze)
