IPTV Live Video Encoding & Streaming Webcam & Screen

Stream from Webcam or TV capture cards on Windows

In IPVTL GUI, choose dshow in channel source formats, and click "..." button to choose and preview video / audio capture devices available.

Tip: On some kind of capture cards, video and audio is produced from the same device. In that case, enter video=<device_name>:audio=<device_name> in the url box.

If there are more than one cards with a same device name, append parameter video_device_number and audio_device_number (starts from 0) to the device address. For example:
video=<device_name>:audio=<device_name>?video_device_number=1&audio_device_number=1 (2nd video & 2nd audio device)

Stream Screen / Desktop via Windows GDI

In IPVTL GUI, select file in channel source formats and enter "desktop" in Media Source. Go to advanced format settings -> Custom Param, and enter -f gdigrab -framerate 5 in Source Parameters box.

Tip: To stream screen via NDI from 3rd party streaming apps like vMix, XSplit and OBS, see Newtek NDI section.

Screencast via Linux Video4Linux interface

In IPVTL web admin, choose v4l2 in channel source formats and enter device name in Media Source, like /dev/video0.

Stream from Microsoft Windows Media Service

Choose mms (mms over http tunnelling) source format, enter the URL that can be played in Windows Media Player, e.g. mms://192.168.0.1/vod/playlist.wsx

Normally mms works in most cases. If there is problem, try mmst (mms over tcp) instead.
