Context And Goals
This task aims at providing an up-to-date and complete live CD made for streaming. In G.I.S.S. 2.0, a first version has been made, and is usable for most streaming situations, see Sa'habuntu Live CD version 11, it must now be adapted and completed with ad-hoc tools and howtos.
Work achieved
The decision has been taken to base the new release on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, the CD will mainly be produced for i686 in 32-bits mode.
Testing of streaming tools
The team has tested the streaming tools on Ubuntu Hardy and the results are as follows :
| Tool | State | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Theora Streaming Studio ( ffmpeg2theora ) |  |
Works with DV, not with webcams. |
| MuSE | |
Works with ogg files, not with mp3s. |
| IDJC | |
Very complete solution for audio streaming. Works with jack and, thus, with external applications. |
| Pure Data | |
The most versatile tool to stream audio and video. |
| Gstreamer | |
Works in command line ( complicated ), we will develop a simple streaming interface using the bindings to Python. |
| Freej |  |
Problems with javascript engine and very difficult to configure and control. |
| VLC Client | |
The GUI seems unusable and the stream very unstable and error prone. |
Some video editing tools have been tested also with success : Cinelerra, Kino, ...
Development of streaming tools
- We developped new modules for pd/pdp ( pdp_v4l2, pdp_ieee1394 ) to support more cameras drivers natively.
