#20 Issue when playing DashCast live stream

[Vitor Diniz]

I'm trying to capture desktop and stream it live in an Apache server using DashCast. It captures and plays correctly when I do it on demand, however when I do it live and then play with MP4Client it shows only a black screen, not even getting any error message while capturing it. The commands I’m using are:

DashCast -vf x11grab -vres 1280x720 -v :0.0 -npts -live -out /public_html/

And then I play with:

MP4Client http://localhost/vitor/dashcast.mpd

Which results in the following output:

MP4Client http://localhost/vitor/dashcast/dashcast.mpd
Using config file in /home/vitor directory

So what am I doing wrong? The client apparently connects correctly to the server, open the player but then it doesn't show anything on screen. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 with GPAC version 0.5.0.

seems like there is a clock mismatch of one hour between what is advertized in the MPD and the client ... Which version are you using ? Could you post your gpac.cfg file ?
