This page covers some tests with current streaming tools as of April 2020, advices and howtos :

Audio Streaming ( live + playlist + mix )

Linux :

Pibox V3 App

Pibox V3 App is a full streaming station developed by the ∏-node.org team,

in particular by the RYBN collective and is targeting ∏-boxes,

a box based on Rasberry Pi.

But you can install it on a Linux system as all should also work on a laptop/desktop.

Find the instructions to install it on Ubuntu 18.04/20.04 here :

Install Pibox V3 on Ubuntu

MIXXX

Mixxx is a great application to make your weekly podcast or play some music. Available for Linux/OSX/Windows.

You can also record your stream in mp3 or ogg.

Pure Data

First install a Pure Data with unauthorized, pdogg and mp3cast~ ( you can try pd-extended or pd-l2ork ) 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..', then open them in Pure Data.

OSX

Pure Data

first install a Pure Data with unauthorized, pdogg and mp3cast~ ( you can try pd-extended or pd-l2ork ) 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..', then open them in Pure Data.

Audio Streaming ( Live Only )

Linux, OSX, Windows

B.U.T.T.

a very simple and neat program can be used for simple live transmission : b.u.t.t. ( broadcast using this tool )  : [http://danielnoethen.de/]

Android

GISS Ogg/Vorbis Streamer

a very simple and neat app that can be used for simple live transmission : GISS Ogg/Vorbis Streamer  : [[1]]

Video Streaming / Digital IEEE1394 Camera

Linux

Theora Streaming Studio [ deprecated ]

Recommended tool : Theora Streaming Studio TSS

There are packages for ubuntu and debian.

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 start it with : 'python Dvstream.py'

On more recent systems ( ubuntu >= 10.10 ( maverick ) ), you need to emulate the oss interface with :

 sudo apt-get install aoss 
 aoss python Dvstream.py

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

Pure Data

first install a Pure Data with unauthorized, pdp and pidip ( you can try pd-extended or pd-l2ork ) and then download this patch :

  • video streaming with digital camera : GissPdpDv

Download this file ( the patch ) with a right click and 'Save link as..', then open it in Pure Data.

Webcam Studio

Check out : Webcam Studio website

it has some support for the input of a DV cam, but some image quality problems have been reported.

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

VLC

In a recent enough version of VLC, you should have an option to stream from a camera in 'File->Streaming'.

Check the HOWTO ( a bit complicated ) here : [VLC Streaming Howto ], you should stream to an Icecast server.


Pure Data

first install a Pure Data with unauthorized, Gem, pdp and pidip ( you can try pd-extended or pd-l2ork ) and then download this patch : 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..', then open it in Pure Data.

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 start it with : 'python Webcamstream-v4l.py' or 'python Webcamstream-v4l2.py'

On more recent systems ( ubuntu >= 10.10 ( maverick ) ), you need to emulate the oss interface with :

 sudo apt-get install aoss 
 aoss python Webcamstream-v4l.py or
 aoss python Webcamstream-v4l2.py 

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

Pure Data

first install a Pure Data with unauthorized, pdp and pidip ( you can try pd-extended or pd-l2ork ) 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..', then open it in Pure Data.

Webcam Studio

Check out : Webcam Studio website

it perfectly support most of webcams models and lets you mix the input with other layers ( screen capture, chat, rss, ... ).

VLC

In a recent enough version of VLC, you should have an option to stream from a webcam in 'File->Streaming'.

Check the HOWTO ( a bit complicated ) here : [VLC Streaming Howto ], you should stream to an Icecast server.

OSX

VLC

In a recent enough version of VLC, you should have an option to stream from a webcam in 'File->Streaming'.

Check the HOWTO ( a bit complicated ) here : [VLC Streaming Howto ], you should stream to an Icecast server.

Pure Data

first install a Pure Data with unauthorized, Gem, pdp and pidip ( you can try pd-extended or pd-l2ork ) 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..', then open it in Pure Data.

Android

GISS Ogg/Theora Streamer

A simple app is availabe for streaming video from your phone : GISS Ogg/Theora Streamer : [[2]]

Unfortunately, as Theora is not an android format, it is not hardware accelerated, you will have to wait for the Webm streamer to have good performances.

Streaming video archives / playlists

Linux, OSX

VLC

In a recent enough version of VLC, you should have an option to stream from a playlist in 'File->Streaming'.

Check the HOWTO ( a bit complicated ) here : [VLC Streaming Howto ], you should stream to an Icecast server.
