[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Streaming - Supported Containers / Formats

[From: tobias kutning]

Hi everyone,

As I got no replies on the Maemo-Users List, here again my questions
regarding Streaming
Video:

I managed to setup a VDR streaming solution to play live video streams
on the 770.

The settings I used for encoding:
"mencoder -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=64 -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=1:vbitrate =300 -vf scale=352:208 -ffourcc DIVX -ofps
15"

I could open the stream without the slightest problems on my laptop using
VLC,
using the http-address: http://vdr:3000/Extern/S19.2E-1-1079-28006+1

However, when trying to open the stream on the 770 I noticed the
following behaviour:
1.) Open with Video-Player: Getting a message like "format not supported".
2.) Open with Browser: Saves the stream as a download. But not
possible to pass the file directly
     to the Video Player.

Did anybody successfully manage to stream avi over http to the 770
yet? Need help for this issue.

Generally, what kind of streaming containers are working for the 770?
Only Realvideo or also .avi or .mpeg? Maybe someone could clear
this, as the question arose several times on the Maemo-Users List.

The VDR-Streaming would be a perfect solution to watch TV  with the
Nokia 770, if I could get the Stream to open on the VideoPlayer.

Thanks in advance for you input, your help is appreciated,

Kind regards

Tobias
