Due to illness, death of my father, broken PC (most data lost) and some other inferior calamities I was a bit "de-motivated", but there will a new version once I get my "ass" up.

I tell You Man Debaser is the Best module i Ever Used for Mutlimedia Website . Great Module . i wish Frank Get His Ass up to Update it . and Sorry Man for Your Father Death

frankblack - my condolences.

my condolences.

Frank, I am very sorry to hear about your sad loss.

Frank, my sincerest condolences on the loss of your father (and your PC, which certainly is very minor compared to the loss of a loved one, but still doesn't make you feel better). I lost both parents quite some time ago (about 40 years for Dad, about 17 years for Mom), but I still miss them.

I do have a suggestion for debaser (or any other streamer module) however: Add an option for using VLC to stream media files. The command line for streaming an MPEG on port 8080, with Ogg audio compression, for example:

vlc -vvv %path%/%filename% --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128}:standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=%servername%:8080}'

This should work for any file for which the server has a codec; I've tested it with a 600MB DivX5 file as the input. I use VideoLAN client to play it remotely (I'm about 19 or 20 km from the server as I write this).

For a Debian-Linux-based server, I would recommend the following command to install the most-needed codes and VLC:

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg vlc-nox

Not sure what the equivalent would be for Dead Rat, Gentoo, and the like, but I'm sure they will be quite similar.

I will say that debaser does *almost* everything I want in a media module.
