INSTALLING

If you want to stream just [http://freej.dyne.org/?info=download download the latest version of FreeJ] and install it:

compile it from source with

./configure && make

install it with:

make install

or install one of the binary packages provided.

USAGE

The command line to stream is:

freej -s <resolution> -T <theora_quality> -V <vorbis_quality> -i http://server:port/mountpoint.ogg -p password <file_to_load>

e.g.

freej -s 240x192 -T 7 -V 3 -i http://dyne.org:8000/freej.ogg -p hackme /dev/video0 stallman.avi mask.png subtitle.txt

And then press CTRL-w to stream. By default freej will record also on hardisk what you stream.

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

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

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