Ogg video.

Steamcast is a stand alone server that combines the features of SHOUTcast and Icecast2 and more to make one mega awesome server.

Ogg video.

Post by webranger »

I was looking at that Vorbis/Theora format that is in an ogg wrapper.

Is there a source program that will feed that to icecast or steamcast?.

I've seen a zillion audio ones.

the only one I know if is ezstreamer but you still need the theora encoder.

Ogg theora has never been tested in steamcast so it will be interesting to see if I can get a report that it actually works.

It doesn't look like ezstream is compatible with steamcast.

I get an authentication error on the hookup.

That probably doesn't matter too much, because the only player that I could find that would play it is VLC. But I guess Google's gonna get behind that in some way.

It would give a truly license free format and a pretty good improvement vs. MP3 for sound quality.

Hmmm.... nice thing..... there is some source code here....

EDIT: Steamcast does work with ogg audio, but Jay knew that.

:D

I guess I'll try again then. It would be good if it worked. I kept getting an authentication error.

I didn't try ogg audio with ezstreamer, since you say it works with ogg audio, I'll do that first and then switch to video when I have it nailed.

Stay tuned.....

P.S. The newest steamcast has been running like a champ. I was running some high bitrate vids and the two steamcast servers served 100GB the day before yesterday.

I guess people like Bruce Lee.

Well, I made audio work, on both icecast and steamcast. Video, however still illudes me.

I keep getting audio skipping and some other weird effects with Icecast and ezstream. Steamcast doesn't work at all, although it shows ezstream on the mount point correctly.... It looks like it should work, it just doesn't.

I was also playing with Cinelerra, an ogg (recently updated for OGG) video editor. I wish we had something like this for NSV.
