GStreamer

2005-01-30T17:54:54Z

Khalil:

GStreamer is an Open Source Multimedia Framework that allows the construction of graphs of media-handling components, ranging from simple mp3 playback to complex audio (mixing) and video (non-linear editing) processing.
Applications can take advantage of advances in codec and filter technology transparently. Developers can add new codecs and filters by writing a simple plugin with a clean, generic interface.
GStreamer is released under the LGPL.

WinAmp is known to play mpga audio in es, streamed over http. Ogg/vorbis over http should also work.

WinAmp has support for NSV-format (Nullsoft Streaming Video), can WinAmp play video streams from VLC/VLS?

XMMS

2005-01-30T17:21:23Z

Khalil:

When streaming Ogg/vorbis to xmms via http the url needs to end in ".ogg". This could be done by providing a filename with the sout line, something like this: vlc --sout http/ogg:<network interface>:port/filename.ogg

As a temporary hack you could append "?.ogg" to the url you give xmms.

XMMS supports es, ps and mpeg1 muxers with mpga audio out of the box. The ts muxer gives strange audio in xmms.

Windows Media Player

Windows Media Player is the standard video and audio application on every Windows system. Though many people use it, by default it isn't that powerful. It doesn't do MPEG2 or MPEG4 and is very depandant on the WMV? and [[ASF]] formats.

VLC media player

2005-01-30T17:00:15Z

Khalil:

Our very own VLC media player.
VLC media player (initially VideoLAN Client) is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, mp3, ogg, ...) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. However in recent years it has also become a extremely powerful server to stream live and on demand video in several formats to our network and the Internet.

It started as a student project at the French École Centrale Paris but is now a worldwide project with developers from 20 countries.

The Real Media Codecs are proprietary, which makes their support in other applications pretty difficult. At present, an open-source decoder? is available for very outdated versions only.
