Hi! There are lines at getstream.conf which read something like: http { port [someport]; }; ....................................... output-http { url /[some name]; }; If you try to open http://[netaddress]:[someport]/[some name] with VLC then you could see a movie (if it exists :) ). I tried to include a link to http://[netaddress]:[someport]/[some name] into a web page, but the browser could only save the file (?!) under that link. I tried to change browser options but nothing changed. Is it possible to include links into web pages or not?

This depends on your browser and plugins. You need a plugin to play mpeg2 transport streams and then one would need to tell the browser about the mime type served to run the plugin with it. I think i had some success with firefox under debian/linux but i had no idea on how to do it with windows and internet explorer. I didnt find an out-of-the-box possibility to play mpeg2 ts on windows.

Hi, Flo! I have one question somewhat to the other side of the topic. Getstream works differently at different computers. At the comp I'm writing this letter getstream works awfully. There is another computer where getstream works perfectly. As for this computer, if the number of channels in the satellite strea more than 2 and the digital stream more than 10 Mbit/s then the image has chaotically placed squares (about 20 % of the screen) and the sound stops from time to time and even has fragments echoed. This is both for udp-multicasting and http-unicasting. The difference between computers is that this one was made on AMD Cempron and other one was made on Intel Pentium 4. What do you think about it?

My guess is that the ethernet is down to 10MBit/s and you are loosing frames. The sound stutter and the broken video is clearly packet loss. So either the server is to slow - or you loose packets in the network. When the computer is too slow to handle the incoming packets you should get getstream kill itself by the watchdog. I have been streaming 3 complete video transponders with ~20 channels with a celeron 1Ghz and 256MByte ram - so i dont think your machine is too slow ...

It's the same computer... So it's unlikely the net is slowing. And what about the PCI bus? At the Sempron case there is only 100 MHz clock. At the P4 case there is 200 MHz clock. Y.Bosco

How can that be the same computer? And its not the physical ethernet i am talking about but rather link negotiation - Either its 10MBit/s or half-duplex or even duplex mismatch. ifconfig may show errors or collisions, or the switch may show errors or collisions. And i am talking about a 33Mhz 32Bit PCI Bus with an aging Intel 82801 PCI Bridge and a 100Mhz FSB 1Ghz Celeron. Its basically a 5 year old machine ... And it does 3 full transponders.

Do you have a high load average or a high CPU usage of getstream ? If not it wouldn't be a CPU-power issue. With other software can you use 100MBit/s on the network. If not it would be an network issue ;) Maxime G.

Indeed, I checked one more time and the CPU usage is about 100%. And the only program that loads the CPU is Getstream. Y.Bosco
Hello It seems that you need VLC plugin for mozilla http://wiki.videolan.org/Windows#VLC_Plugin_for_Firefox_.28Mozilla.29 There is my example http://beethoven.lan.spbgasu.ru/~ipp/test_http.html On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 1:02 PM, Y.Bosco <openboelru@pochta.ru> wrote:

You can try to change the content type in output_http.c There's a line: http_header_start(hc, "200 OK", "application/octet-stream"); You can try e.g. "video/mpeg" instead of "application/octet-stream" but what actually happens depends on the browser configuration.
