An important conclusion: if you’re implementing some kind of system, stick to the stable versions of the components you use. If you don’t do that, expect a lot of unpleasant surprises, like ffmpeg that dies with SIFPE somewhere in the FFT (fast Fourier transformation).

Another interesting thing to note is the time that it takes to compile the damn ffmpeg, and some strange thing is it, like it’s urge to keep all the received feed somewhere on the disk…

So now I have one working way to do video broadcast, that I don’t like too much because it’s based on TCP, which is bad, the protocol isn’t good for this. Tomorrow I’ll work a bit on the way to send a stream with ffmpeg to the darwin streaming server, and to use it to broadcast, but I’ll have to find clients that have good RTSP support (vlc comes to mind).

Today I again went to the usual anime meeting, saw some very drunk people, in the cheers we broke one tankard… After that I went for a few hour long walk with an acquaintance, and now I really have to go to bed, my legs hurt. There was some rain a while ago, I hope it keeps on, it helps the going to sleep.

(and because Velin is sick, looks like I’ll do his lectures on the cryptography this tuesday and thursday, I’ll have to read a lot)
