[T-e-x]

It's theoretically possible to stream your desktop to your PS3, but note that it's impossible for you to control your PC via PS3, and even if you got wireless keyboard/mouse there's always going to be some latency on the video feed, so it's quite impractical. But if you don't care about all that I'm sure someone here is able to help.

i only want to stream my desktop screen.. emulators Wii,snes,n64

[whome]

VLC can playback a desktop, use the following "video file" url.
screen://:screen-fps=1

But I have not figured it out how to VLC stream it through ps3ms. Do someone has a valid vlc commandline how to start streaming screen:// urls?

[maccroche]

that is a good idea!

Can those commandlines be helpfull?
But how to incorporate it in PMS??

vlc screen:// :screen-fps=30 :screen-caching=100 --sout '#transcode
{vcodec=mp4v,vb=4096,acodec=mpga,ab=256,scale=1,width=1280,height=800}:rtp
{dst=192.168.1.5,port=1234,access=udp,mux=ts}'


Reference: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=46971:

vlc screen:// --screen-fps 5 --sout-transcode-croptop 500 --sout-transcode-cropleft 200 --sout-transcode-cropbottom 20 --sout-transcode-cropright 100 --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst="C:\Temp\OUT.mpg"}}"

That will capture the screen at 5 fps - cropping the top, left, bottom and right of the screen by 500px, 200px, 20px and 100px respectively. The output video is encoded into mp4v video and streamed to the file "C:\Temp\OUT.mpg".

Hello,

in order to solve this in this way: I installed 2 VLC, once the supported 0.9.8a version and the version 1.0.5 as "portable" application, (see http://portableapps.com/apps/music_video/vlc_portable).

I defined the newest VLC to stream the screen
vlc screen:// :screen-fps=30 :screen-caching=100 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=127.0.0.1:1234}

and tried to use a videostream entry in the web.conf file like: videostream.Video=Screen udp,udp://@127.0.0.1:1234

but it still doesn't work.
Do you have some clue, hint to do this?
Thanks

Hello,

Does someone get a solution or idea for this idea: streaming desktop using PS3 Java media server?

bye,

...
vlc screen:// --screen-fps 5 --sout-transcode-croptop 500 --sout-transcode-cropleft 200 --sout-transcode-cropbottom 20 --sout-transcode-cropright 100 --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst="C:\Temp\OUT.mpg"}}"

That will capture the screen at 5 fps - cropping the top, left, bottom and right of the screen by 500px, 200px, 20px and 100px respectively. The output video is encoded into mp4v video and streamed to the file "C:\Temp\OUT.mpg".

So to stream this to the PS3 you end up pointing it at the file OUT.mpg?
Is there any tutorial out there on how to stream using VLC input?
Thanks.
