Revision as of 18:55, 29 March 2009

This pages covers some tests with current streaming tools, advices and howtos :


Audio Streaming

Linux :

MuSE ( from dyne.org )

Easiest tool : MuSE http://muse.dyne.org MuSE ( not to be confused with the muse midi sequencer )

On Ubuntu or Debian, don't search in apt-get, but instead, install the package from this link : [ ftp://ftp.dyne.org/muse/binary/MuSE-0.9.2-i386-1.deb MuSe.deb]

Pure Data

Other tool : puredata extended with the following patches :

first install a pd extended for your system from [Pd-extended] and then download one of these patches :

  • streaming in ogg format : Pdogg
  • streaming in mp3s format : Pdmp3

Download these files ( the patches ) with a right click and 'Save link as..', open them in pd-extended

IDJC

The Internet DJ Console is a great application to make your weekly podcast or play some music. Runs in Linux with the jack audio server, and can connect to sip phones and any kind of jack port.

It runs on Python and has a nice support to use the microphone and program songs.

You can also record your stream in mp3 or ogg, use a bot Xchat plugin to tell the playlist, save different profilesfor the different streams you use, apply compressors and filters to the different audio signals.

You need a good processor to run it, though....


Howto

1. Install and configure jack server

2. Download and install IDJC from the webpage: http://www.onlymeok.nildram.co.uk/download.html

3. Open your account on giss.tv

4. Configure the server information based on this example:

5. Connect your microphone and earphones, and load your music on the two playlists

6. Check out the documentation on the IDJC page: http://www.onlymeok.nildram.co.uk/

OSX or Windows

first install a pd extended for your system from [Pd-extended] and then download one of these patches :

  • streaming in ogg format : Pdogg
  • streaming in mp3s format : Pdmp3

Download these files ( the patches ) with a right click and 'Save link as..', open them in pd-extended

Video Streaming / Digital Camera ( input through firewire/ieee1394 )

Linux

Theora Streaming Studio

Recommended tool : Theora Streaming Studio TSS

the debian package is called theorastreamer and is available for :

  • Ubuntu / hardy ( 32 bits ) :

deb http://giss.tv/~chevil/ubuntu32 hardy giss apt-get install theorastreamer

  • Ubuntu / hardy 64 bits ( architecture amd64 ) :

deb http://giss.tv/~chevil/ubuntu64 hardy giss apt-get install theorastreamer

  • Ubuntu / feisty ( 32 bits ) :

TSS.deb(feisty fawn)

On other systems, you should compile it installing first its dependencies ( dvgrab, libraw1394-8, ffmpeg, ffmpeg2theora, libtheora-bin, oggfwd, libvte9 )

GStreamer

Simplest tool : GStreamer script GStreamer Dv

You should rename this script from .pys to .py and start it with : 'python Dvstream.py'

There is a debian package for all architectures here : PyGiss.deb

Pure Data

Other tool : puredata extended with the following patch :

first install a pd extended for your system from [Pd-extended] and then download this patch :

  • video streaming with digital camera : GissPdpDv

Download this file ( the patch ) with a right click and 'Save link as..', open it in pd-extended

DVSwitch

DVSwitch

Once you have dvswitch working (which is a different problem that will be documented elsewhere), use dvsink-command in place of dvgrab, like so:

dvsink-command -- ffmpeg2theora - -f dv -F 25:5 -v 1 -a 5 -c 1 -H 11025 -o - | oggfwd giss.tv 8000 $CARLFKPW /CarlFK.ogg

OSX

Pure Data

Recommended tool : puredata extended with the following patch :

first install a pd extended for your system from [Pd-extended] and then download this patch :

  • video streaming with digital camera ( OSX ) : GissPdpOsx

if you have some troubles with some models of cameras, you can try this experimental patch using Gem :

  • video streaming with digital camera ( Gem ) : GissGem

Download this file ( the patch ) with a right click and 'Save link as..', open it in pd-extended

Windows

Vision Air

This is not really supported by G.I.S.S. but we must mention the Vision Air Streaming tool : VisionAir

Video Streaming / Webcams and capture cards

Linux

GStreamer

Simplest tool : GStreamer

According to the model of your camera, you should use Video4Linux (v4l) or Video4Linux2 (v4l2)

You should rename this script from .pys to .py and start it with : 'python Webcamstream-v4l.py'

There is a debian package for all architectures here : PyGiss.deb

Pure Data

Recommended tool : puredata extended with the following patch :

first install a pd extended for your system from [Pd-extended] and then download this patch :

  • video streaming with a video4linux device : GissPdpV4l
  • video streaming with a video4linux2 device : GissPdpV4l2

Download this file ( the patch ) with a right click and 'Save link as..', open it in pd-extended
