you set it

SourceRawKey=mykey

then you call it with any player not compatible with the ICY protocal.

all the key does is make the stream conform to HTTP/1.0

There are no special keys for certain players. You set the key as an arbitrary set of letters to keep others from abusing the location.

hello

is it possible to view a stream for example with the vlc player? (or wm-player?)

in vlc, I added the source

http://myip:port and he plays the stream, but only the sound, and not the video

Code: Select all

nsv debug: new NSVs chunk
nsv warning: unknown codec
it`s possible to add the codec?
or are other ways known?

Codec choice is outside of steamcast's features so you will have to discuss this with VLC themselves or use VP3.

I personally recommend x.264 for a codec. Cross platform, and good stuff. basically a free version of h.264.
