I need to create a Window application which streams desktop to Android(live).

Hi,

I am working on developing an app in which one of its features includes receiving a video stream from a webcam and displaying it through a videoView.

I added this to media_profiles.xml:

Code: <EncoderProfile quality="720p" fileFormat="mp4" duration="30"> <Video codec="m4v" bitRate="16000000" width="1280" height="720" frameRate="30" />

<Audio codec="aac" bitRate="96000" sampleRate="44100" channels="

I'm trying to stream the video and audio a USB webcam using avconv (or ffmpeg) using just port 8080 over a network.

I can successfully stream audio using the following command:

Code: avconv -f oss -ar 8000 -ac 1 -i /dev/dsp1 -acodec mp2 -f rtp rtp://172.17.2.2:9090 and VLC will read it just fine, with maybe a 1 second delay.

I can successfully stream video using:

Code: avconv

cat one.ts two.ts >> joined.ts

ffmpeg -y -i joined.ts -vcodec copy -acodec copy -absf aac_adtstoasc joined.mp4

This works fine, however when one.mp4 has no audio stream (

Hey, I have an MSI Wind U100 laptop/openSUSE 11.2 and I'm trying to get the webcam to work. The webcam seems to be detected by the kernel as "video0" (my understanding of linux is fairly basic so I could be wrong here), but it isn't detected at all by cheese, kopete, skype, or anything else I've tried.

I'm beyond my skill level in getting this to work properly...

In the good old days of Jaunty, Ubuntu had an asound.conf file that could be patched to increase the range of audio volume. This is no longer supported in Karmic. Instead, the PulseAudio volume control allows up to a 50% increase over the norm. Unfortunately, depending on how the .avi file was created, this may not be enough.
