Somebody was just asking me about options for streaming audio and video in Pd-extended. I wouldn't mind help with the answer. Here's what I have gathered so far.
Audio:
- streamin~ and streamout~ --- but the help patches don't seem to work in Linux. Seems to work ok in windows.
- netsend~ and netreceive~ --- not provided in pd-extended and seemed a bit flaky when I tried them before.
- mp3streamin~ and mp3streamout~ --- help patch missing in pd-extended but seem to work ok outside of Windows.
- mp3cast~ and friends: seems to work ok if you have a shoutcast server...
Video:
- I couldn't find anything in Gem to stream video. Did I miss it? I was wondering if using pix_pix2sig~, streaming as audio, then pix_sig2pix~ might work.
- in pdp/pidip there's pdp_i and pdp_o. I didn't find help patches for these in pd_extended
- also in pdp/pidip there's some other's pdp_mp4live~ etc. I suspect the ffserver-based ones don't work in pd-extended. Not sure on the others.
For either audio or video maybe there's a way to send to vlc through the stdin or stdout, then let vlc do the streaming?
