INSTALLING

If you want to stream just download this package http://dyne.org/~kysucix/tmp/freej-0.7.2-rc2.tar.bz2 or latest svn code with:

svn co svn://code.dyne.org/rastasoft/freej/freej

and compile it with

./autogen.sh && make

(use ./autogen.sh --enable-sdl_image && make if you have sdl_image library and want to load also jpg images) install it with:

make install

USAGE

The command line to stream is:

freej -s <resolution> -q <theora_quality>-a -i http://server:port/mountpoint.ogg -p password <file_to_load>

e.g.

freej -s 240x180 -q 10 -a -i http://dyne.org:8000/freej.ogg -p hackme /dev/video0 stallman.avi mask.png subtitle.txt

And then press CTRL-s with the focus on freej window to stream. By default freej will record also on hardirs what you stream.

default quality is 16, but for low bandwidth I suggest to use a quality from 6 to 9.

It's dinamic bitrate streaming, with 7 theora quality and low resolution you'll achieve a < 30Kbps video streaming.

If you want to stream only video remove -a option.
