About

This addon is for streaming an image from one computer to another using H.264 protocol and ffmpeg as backbone.

Installation

Works currently only on Mac OS X. Tested on 10.8.3

Dependencies

none

Adding to another project

Copy the folder to addons, remove example

WRONG:

in other linker flags add "$(SRCROOT)/../libs/osx/libx264.a"  (or just drag the file into other linker flags)
in Header Search Path add "/usr/local/include"	

Save the stream from commandline

If you would like to save the stream as a video file you can use ffmpeg like this:

$ ./ffmpeg -i "udp://@:1234" -vcodec libx264 output.mp4
