I would like to stream my desktop to my tv and have followed the wiki "How to Stream Your Windows PC Desktop". My PC runs Vista 64 and serviio is running on an HP MediaSmart Server with WHS v1.
I downloaded the most current versions of screen-capture-recorder (SCR) and virtual audio capture grabber device (VACGD) and am running VLC v1.1.11. When I go to VLC/Media/Open Capture Device, SCR appears as an option in the video device name drop down list and VACGD appears as an option in the audio device name drop down list. I ran the SCR config and set the screen resolution to 1280 x 800 which is the max resolution for my screen.
Here is a copy of my bat file:
@echo off
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vvv dshow:// --sout=#transcode{venc=ffmpeg,vcodec=mp2v,vb=10000,fps=24,scale=0.5,width=1280,acodec=mp3,ab=192,channels=2,samplerate=44100,soverlay}:std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:8081} --no-sout-rtp-sap --no-sout-standard-sap --ttl=1 --sout-keep :dshow-vdev=screen-capture-recorder :dshow-adev=virtual-audio-capturer :dshow-caching=2000
When I run the bat file, VLC opens displaying dshow:// and a counter starts in the bottom right corner.
I used ipconfig and obtained the ip address of my pc which is 192.168.1.111.
While VLC is running, when I run ffmpeg -i "http://192.168.1.111:8081" I get the following error message "http://192.168.1.111:8081: invalid data found when processing input"
While VLC is running, I have added the above ip address to Serviio via the console, but the online serviio folder displays "there is no playable file"
Thank you
Dont know if I am right or not, but try changing 'http://192.168.1.111:8081" to "http://localhost:8081/desk.ts"
