At the moment the project is outdated, as the author of the library stopped support and asked to move to the current versions!

As more and more effort is put into LibVLCSharp, fewer evolutions are expected to be made to this project. Bugfixes will still be fixed in the maintainer's free time, but as of 2020-05-06, support for libvlc 4 is not planned. You are encouraged to migrate and create new projects with LibVLCSharp

The repository includes simple console server application desktop Windows Forms server application

and desktop Windows Forms application.

Video broadcasting via RTP/RTSP or HTTP using VLC library libvlc and VlcDotNet wrapper from ZeBobo5.

All apps were tested with libvlc 3.0.3, 3.0.4, and last dev Nuget from ZeBobo5 - 3.0.0-develop296 versions.

It is necessary to copy libvlc -> win-x86 | win-x64 to your project's bin Debug or Release folder.

Broadcasting is configured on the server side f.e in Program.cs with the following parameters:

// Options with any encoders
var mediaOptions = new[]
{
  ":sout=#rtp{sdp=rtsp://192.168.1.162:8008/test}",
  ":sout-keep"
};

or in desktop application in MainForm.cs wich is located in VlcBroadcast folder:

// Options with video and audio encoders
var mediaOptions = new[]
{
  ":sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=:8080/}",
   ":sout-all"
};
