how to shoot at ZM with streams that are zm-compatible, VLC?

Post by linforpros »

Hello,
I found this page
and what strikes me is that I have no way to create a stream that ZM could easily understand.

For simplicyty's sake lets assume:

1. Fedora 23 with zmrepo zm version 1.29 ZM fully installed and operable. All packages updated and current.
2. We want to stream from localhost (same as ZM installation) so that no firewall is in the way.


According to the wiki above this should stream ZM compatible video:
Stream in HTTP:
on the server, run:

% vlc -vvv input_stream --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=server.example.org:8080}'

on the client(s), run:
% vlc http://server.example.org:8080
Adding a monitor is very painful and I have no score at seeing the output so far.

Could anyone please try to help?
best regards
