Thank you soo much again. Here is what I am trying to do: I am trying to play mms or rtsp streams from internet on my STB. ( Such as this one: mms://85.111.3.55/ntv You can easily watch it by using VLC on your ubuntu :) ) In order to do that, I understand that I need two things: 1) Be able to get mms and rtsp streams a) ffmpeg seems does not support mms (am I wrong? ) b) mplayer seems to get stream, and can decode video and audio by ffmpeg ( libavcodec). But I feel the SPEED problem is not because of displaying; it is because of Transcoding ( Because when I play same stream with mplayer on my kubuntu, seems playing well, and Audio / Video frames are quite fast) Also, I tried with "-vo null -ao null -nosound". This time, I feel that it is not transcoding, so speed looks very very nice ( I am checking frame speed from the bottom info on the console when I start mplayer) c) Cross-compiling VLC ( I really want to do this, but I couldn't figure out how to do it) 2) Display video & play audio Celestial ( Cavium) has provided access to their DEMUX, VIDEO and AUDIO decoders as open source. With this way, we can play TS files ( 1920x1080 HP@HL) and all MP3 files without any problem. I am now thinking, should I do something like: "Get the stream with ffmpeg, transcode to TS, and play with demux".. What do you think about this? Again, many thanks for your kindness... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stulluk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56877 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34178 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
