Hi! |

I'm currently trying to set up a personal video recorder in form of a |
| 4 |
headless server using mencoder and freevo. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
What I would like to do is watching the movie while mencoder is realtime |
| 7 |
encoding it to x264/vorbis in a Matroska container. |
| 8 |
I already tried it using sshfs. Unfortunately, the file is only read up |
| 9 |
to the point where it ended when playing it started. |
| 10 |
I don't know if NFS would behave better. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Well, what I thought about was doing it like this: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
#!/bin/bash |
| 15 |
mencoder [...] -o - | tee video.mkv | stream-app |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
So far it should work and vlc would be the natural choice for the |
| 18 |
streaming app. However, vlc seems unable to read from a pipe so I need |
| 19 |
something else. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Can anyone give me a tip? maybe I missed an option in vlc or can someone |
| 22 |
propose an app that can be used instead? |
| 23 |

By the way: It's a 100MBit ethernet network without any switches or |
| 25 |
hubs. The machines are right next to each other. |
| 26 |
I hope it will be a 400 or even 500MBit net soon, but that's another |
