I agree I have not seen any H264 streaming info for icecast2. If you are however interested in using ogg/vorbis (Theora) look up Theora Streaming Studio in the Theora Cookbook and it will give you some info. Additionally if you wish to script this task you can look up the info on the three commands TSS wraps, specifically dvgrab/ffmpeg2theora/oggfwd. if your source file is in a h264 medium you should be able to transcode it to ogg in this fashion. If H264 however does exist please correct me as I would like to see any work done with it for future reference.

Thanks both of you for yours replys. I change my video source to theora with this comand: ffmpeg -i in.wmv -vcodec libtheora -sameq -acodec libvorbis -ac 2 -sameq out.ogg Now I have a theora video. How can I stream this video with Icecast2? Is there any guide? Thanks for all and best regards. 2010/8/12 E Ferguson Earnshaw <ferguson.earnshaw at gmail.com>:> I agree I have not seen any H264 streaming info for icecast2. > If you are however interested in using ogg/vorbis (Theora) look up Theora > Streaming Studio in the Theora Cookbook and it will give you some info. > Additionally if you wish to script this task you can look up the info on the > three commands TSS wraps, specifically dvgrab/ffmpeg2theora/oggfwd. if your > source file is in a h264 medium you should be able to transcode it to ogg in > this fashion. > If H264 however does exist please correct me as I would like to see any work > done with it for future reference. > > On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 10:48 AM, Jonathan Nalley <jnalley at jnalley.com> > wrote: >> >> i'm relatively new to icecast as well but so far as I understand, i >> don't think icecast will work with H.264. ?Most of the documentation >> and information i've seen suggests that the best (and maybe only?) >> video codec that icecast will stream and manage is (the more >> patent-free) Theora codec. >> >> Someone please feel free to correct me if i've misspoken. >> >> >> On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 12:40 PM, Josu Lazkano <josu.lazkano at gmail.com> >> wrote: >> > Hello everybody, I am new on this mail-list.

You can find a guide by entering "Theora Cookbook TSS" in to google. It should be the first return. It is in the section marked live streaming. Additionally you can use VLC media player to stream to icecast although I am not aware of a guide for this.
