When I connect my webcam to my PC and start MPEGRecorder, set transmitter address/port to 192.168.0.1/8888, no packets are sent out(I'm using ethereal to moniter the interface). In the video viewer window, I can watch what's from the webcam. Any tips for streaming out video? What kind of player I can use to watch what's streamed out (vlc, mplayer .. )? Thanks a lot
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
In order to send packets out, you must do two things:
1. Under "Software" select "Audio Video Format" = "mp4-streaming-server".
2. Click on the 'Record' button in the video viewer window. That should start transmission. After you click on 'Stop' the transmission should stop.
In order to view the media stream, you need two things:
1. Apple Quicktime player.
2. an SDP file (SDP = Session Description Protocol) which tells your player which ports it should listen to in order to experience the stream. I am sorry, but I don't have a sample SDP file at the moment to show you. Once you acquire this file, tell your player to open it and that should do the trick.
Note: the automatic option in the transmitter section uses Apple's Darwin Streaming Server to distribute the stream, and the SDP file is assumed to be distributed via a web server using HTTP.
Good luck.

Continuing what I have said in the previous message, a sample SDP file is created once you start transmitting. It is called 'test.sdp' and it can be found in the directory where you run the application. I am sorry if this feature is not very stable in the current version.

Maybe this could be explained in some readme.
Also ports etc. Isnt there some mp4live code, that could be used, to make it more usable for average users like me? ;-)
