Hello.
I need to have the "browsing PC" desktop to be an input in the vmix enviroment, and that pc is a Ubuntu Linux machine.

With the open dvswitch project i use a ffmpeg command to stream a DV encoded video of captured x11 desktop to the dvswitch main program that acts like sink for the stream, but do not know if is it possible with vmix.

Quote:
#!/bin/bash
DvSwitchIP="192.168.1.11"
DvSwitchPort=2000

ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1024x768 -r 25 -i :0.0 -target dv-l -y . | dvsource-file -h $DvSwitchIP -p $DvSwitchPort /dev/stdin


I know dvswitch can use incoming streaming videos from internet to be used like video sources, but ... who is the server in this case?

ffserver? ... my experiments with ffserver are very frustrating ...
Do you know if i can force ffmpeg to provide an rtsp stream to vmix?

Thanks,

Federico

PS: this is a test made several months ago with dvswitch

Have you looked here:

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/StreamingGuide

I can't say I've tried it and you would most likely have to do a bit of work on any firewall in your linux box (or disable the firewall).

Basically if you can get your ubuntu machine creating the stream with the correct parameters VMix would see it like any typical IP Camera. It might not be as real time as the desktop capture facility in VMix, so expect some extra lag as VMix has to buffer rtsp inputs.
