Realtime video generation and streaming to a set-top-box

appel posted 2009 Oct 22 12:59
Hi all


I'm trying to make a server that streams a video that is realtime generated in software, on the server, to a set-top-box client.

Essentially the pipeline is something like this:

1. Some pixel buffer (image-buffer) generated in a software on the server at 24 fps (or so).
2. This image-buffer is dumped or sent to a processing software for each frame.
3. The processing software converts this raw image-buffer to a mpeg2 (or mpeg4) unicast stream
4. The set-top-box, which is "tuned" into the unicast stream, displays the resulting image.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this without writing the whole thing myself?

VLC might be what you're looking for, it can broadcast via IPV6
