VLC Re-stream? #442

Open jmz9466 opened 10 years ago

I would like to re-stream the twitch vods I am watching in VLC player on my PC. That way I can watch them on my phone. I know VLC player can network stream it's playback, but I have no idea what to use as the "input" selection when I'm using livestreamer.

Or does anyone know any other way I can watch twitch vods (not livestreams) on Android without using flash player?

In your config file for livestreamer, you set the player and its augs like this.

player="C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --file-caching=5000 --sout=#duplicate{dst=http{mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=:8080/},dst=display}

This will play the stream on your PC, and restream it to http 8080. So to view the stream on another device, just open http://PC-IP:8080

where is that Config file in the Livestreamer folder?

On Linux it is here: $HOME/.config/livestreamer/config
