[MPlayer-users] Streaming video/audio using mplayer...

[Mark Jayson R. Alvarez]

Good day!!

I've been using mplayer for quite some time now and I am very happy with it.. 
It can play almost all kinds of media format I feed into it including 
streaming urls.. 

Right now, in our company, we are using "Helix" to stream live and on-demand 
videos.. However, I just found out in google that I can also do this in 
mplayer(using ffmpeg??).. Right now I'm looking for alternative solutions but 
there are so many of them. If I could just use mplayer to stream everything 
(audio/video) whether it is live or on-demand, I would happily use it because 
of it's support to a wide range of audio/video format.. I hope you could shed 
a light on this one... I really love using mplayer (even without gui)....

video streaming (on demand vs. live)
- shoutcast/apache (on demand)
- helix
- vlc
- darwin streaming server
- fluendo
- dyne.org
- mplayer
- gini
- ffserver

audio streaming
- shoutcast
- icecast
- apache mod_mp3
- gnump3d
- xbms
- gini
- icegenerator
- darkice


Thank you very much..
Have a nice day!!!
