FFMpeg-VLC-FreeBSD

FFMpeg-VLC-FreeBSD

19 May 2017

Overview

This project is to setup and document what we are calling FFMpeg-VLC-FreeBSD since it's what this will primary use and achieve.

The current ideas include a permanent broadcast of public_domain and my own personal music/content/videos/etc in the format of the old Independent UHF Channels of the 1980s in the Sacramento California area; without any commercials, unmodified, freely available to anyone that can get a connection, for historic preservation and to inspire discussion and promote change.

Goals

1. Build A Fully Automated A/V Stream Server: The current goal is to stream music and public domain content to the internet.
2. Build a Full OS Installer: Using FreeBSD, a ton of packages can get installed with this project, and too many package installations can confuse first time users and be downright cumbersome, so let's make it a full OS level installation for install on any hardware.

Specifications

Only on FreeBSD for Development.

Milestones

1. Nothing Yet

LUA!!

I found this page http://www.coderholic.com/extending-vlc-with-lua/ and it seems I'm going to be getting brushed up on my lua. So yea, this crap is taking a lot of getting used to. I'm pretty lazy and just like to type freeflow and have this thing kinda DWIM... I've supported blogs for years in my job and actually learning how to do this crap, lol, Stick around, the posts will get better, but I'm counting this a win if I at least do something here everyday.
Check out the gist, it's a starting point for the vlc command line:

VLC Server

So, I think I'm going to take on VLC and master it. I'm first going to set it up as a media server, then play with it some more. I'll document the entire process here on this blog.
