Audio/Video Streaming for Events
Dave Yeo:
It looks like VLC wasn't linked against OpenSSL or similar and can't handle the HTTPS protocol and Youtube redirects HTTP to HTTPS.
It also looks like support for the desktop is missing as well, I'm sure it could be added by a knowledgeable person, same with the recent webcam support.
MPlayer should also be able to stream youtube but the same problem probably exists, lack of SSL support
guzzi:
SMplayer does play youtube clips, so it should have SSL support. Never tried streaming with it.

Well actually, it should be relatively easy to setup a plain HTTP media stream (or two -- one for each camera) on any operating system but OS/2.
Then it should be very easy to watch this stream on any operating system including OS/2.
For example, I've been streaming a movie from my OS/2 desktop to my OS/2 laptop using VLC on both sides, without any apparent problem.

Can you give me some hints to how did you set up that to try it out?
Regards.
Martin Iturbide:
It seems that OpenBroadcaster (Open source - Windows/Linux/Mac) is a good alternative to make a "good semi-pro" streaming.
It has a simple GUI, you can set up an Scene, add several desktop apps to share (even one can be VNC connected to the speakers machine), you can add text and select just one audio source.
After that you turn on and off the checkbox of the things you want to show on the stream. Very easy to use.
Plus the best thing of all, is that it records all the stuff you stream in a local file on the HDD, so later you can have your file in case the streaming fails.
Disadvantages:
* It is not a streaming server. It just selects the input sources and share it to a RTMP server. So to stream the video it requires to be connected to services like YouTube, Twitch or others, or you need to set up your own RTMP server.
This may modify my idea, but losing one machine. But I still depend on a rtmp service.
