| How to use the VLC Media Player with the Barix Exstreamer The VLC Media Player is a nice tool to stream MP3 songs simultaneously to the Exstreamers or Annuncicoms. The result will be you can hear the same song at the same time from many Exstreamers i.e. in a football stadion . It is a free software and can be downloaded from http://www.videolan.org/streaming/ , a english version is available too. The older version 0.8.6 had few little bugs, but no problem. The following screen shot was made from VLC version 0.8.6, in the meantime the VLC design and functionality has changed. The second page describes how to use VLC version 1.xx. It´s easy to install, only the handling is a little bit tricky. Please see the picture below. Click on the play button or “Datei” – “Stream ….” to get the window for the setup. Sometimes it could happen that the setup for the encapsulation protocol is inverted and you can´t select the “Raw” type, in this case you have to mark and unmark the RTP protocol then it changes to not inverted. UDP Broadcast does (for any reason ?) not work simultaneously, you have to use any Multicast address ( i.e. 224.0.0.1 ). The setup in the Exstreamer (standard firmware) should be “Mode 4 – Streaming Receiver” and you have to define a “UDP Streaming Listener Port” (in this example: 3030). Or you can also use the UDP Priority port in any other mode.
The following description (and screen shot) was tested with VLC Media Player version 1.1.5 . In the newer VLC Media player versions you have to copy the OPTION string manually. To stream from a the new VLC version to a Barix Exstreamer execute the following steps . – First open VLC – select from VLC menu : MEDIA – Advanced Open File ... – there select your audio files (MP3) or your playlist file (m3u) – make sure the “Show more options” check box is marked – then copy the following string to “Edit Options” for RTP Streaming (requires RTP Listen Port on Barix devices): :sout=#duplicate{dst=rtp{dst=224.0.0.1,port-audio=4444}} (generates a RTP multicast stream to port number 4444) for RAW UDP Streaming :
(generates a RAW UDP multicast stream to port number 3030) The target port number and/or target IP address at the end of the string is changable ! – thereafter click on “Play” – ready, when your Exstreamer is properly configured then it should play now. VLC listening a
n audio stream from Barix Instreamer
The VLC media player also can listen an audio stream from the Barix encoder devices like the Instreamer. Two modes/protocols are for that available, HTTP or RTP. To listen a stream with VLC Media player click on „Media“ and select „Open Network Stream“. A new window will be opened. In this new „Open Media“ window the network URL must be defined (under tab „Network“). For HTTP define in the network URL the URL of the Instreamer Internet Radio stream. There you have to define the protocol, the Instreamer - IP address and the path for the audio (per default „/xstream“), e.g: http://192.168.10.174/xstream When in the Instreamer setup a port number different than 0 or 80 is defined for the Internet Radio then the port number must be additional defined in the URL e.g.:
The HTTP mode works only with MP3 codec. For RTP define in the network URL the protocol and a listen port number, this must be the same port number the Instreamer uses for streaming (see URL in right picture). The Instreamer supports different codecs (MP3, PCM, G.711) and sampling rates, not all are supported in VLC media player, but the following were working in VLC version 2.05:
The lowest latencies can be reached in this mode with PCM codec, there below 100 ms (in VLC setting „Caching“) are possible. Doc V1.5 02.05.13/SG, © 2013 BARIX AG Document OutlineYüklə 16,18 Kb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
