Open Video Capture Device, such as TV ISDB-T Receiver about xibo HOT 8 OPEN

I think this applies to the open source players and to Android and could be described more generically (open capture device)

from xibo.

+1 for this, we had a customer request for this which we had to abandon

+1 for this, we have an user request.

The ISDB-T Receiver output content should be presented as a region of a layout
for which we should consider incorporating a module that is responsible for this function.

+1 from me as well.

Also it would be great if the video decoder/player module could support HTTP and RTP/UDP streams as well. I know VLC/libvlc can open DirectShow on Windows, V4L on Linux and any network stream on either platform.

The support for RTP/UDP would be great for large networks that want to play multicast streams (think synchronized screens throughout a store/building).

from xibo.

Yes indeed. This should be possible in Android too, and supporting servers like Live555 (see http://www.live555.com/) would be great.

If you have a RTSP stream already you can put it as the source for the Local Video module.

I don't think the same will work with the local capture card.

Really? How? Using Ubuntu Linux Server 14.04.

Make sure the local video module is enabled - add a local video module to your layout and in the video path put the stream URL.

The stream will need to be accessible from the player and in a codec that the player supports.
