N800 Video streaming + netcat

This tip is for that kind of person who loves command lines and so on !! 😉

You’ll need ffmpeg and netcat. It’s important to notice that you’ll need netcat on the device also. Get it here: Netcat for maemo.

Then you just need to run something like this on your computer:

  • ffmpeg (…n800 best options…) | nc 192.168.4.5 5000

and on the device:

  • nc -l -p 5000 | mplayer –

Here you have your easy streaming solution. 🙂

PS: remember to execute the client first (the one that is being run on the device) because this is actually the server of the connection.

    for sure, try this “entire” line…If you want more quality you can try to increase the bitrate (-b option)

    ffmpeg -vcodec mpeg1video -r 25 -b 384 -acodec mp3 -ab 64 -i ./cpm.mpg -s 240×144 -f mpeg – | nc 127.0.0.1 5000

    Best Regards,
