• II. Flumotion Components Reference
  • I. Producer Components
    • audiotest-producer — Produces a test signal.
    • firewire-producer — Produces feeds from a Firewire/DV device.
    • icecast-producer — A producer that produces a stream from an Icecast server.
    • loop-producer — Produces a raw audio/video feed from an Ogg file, looping continuously.
    • soundcard-producer — Captures a raw audio feed from a soundcard.
    • tvcard-producer — A producer that captures a raw video feed from a TV card.
    • videotest-producer — Produces a raw video feed with a test signal.
    • webcam-producer — Produces a raw video feed from a webcam.
  • II. Converter Components
    • repeater — A component that simply repeats the feed without any processing. This is useful to transport a feed to a different worker before feeding it to many other eaters.
    • overlay-converter — Overlays text and images onto a raw video feed.
  • III. Combiner Components
    • av-basic-watchdog-combiner — A basic audio/video watchdog component.
    • av-switch-combiner — An audio/video switching component.
    • single-switch-combiner — A switcher switching between two input feeds of the same stream type.
  • IV. Encoder Components
    • dirac-encoder — Encodes a raw video feed using BBC's Dirac codec.
    • jpeg-encoder — Encodes raw video feed to JPEG frames.
    • mulaw-encoder — Encodes raw audio to mu-law.
    • smoke-encoder — An encoder using JPEG frames and delta frames.
    • speex-encoder — Encodes a raw audio feed using the Speex speech codec.
    • theora-encoder — Encodes a raw video feed using Xiph's Theora codec.
    • vorbis-encoder — An audio encoder that encodes to Vorbis.
  • V. Muxer Components
    • multipart-muxer — Muxes encode feeds into a Multipart feed.
    • ogg-muxer — Muxes encode feeds into an Ogg feed.
  • VI. Consumer Components
    • disk-consumer — A consumer that archives a stream to disk.
    • http-streamer — A consumer that streams over HTTP.
    • http-server — An on demand HTTP server.
  • VII. Bouncer Components
    • htpasswdcrypt-bouncer — A bouncer using htpasswd and crypted keycards.
    • ical-bouncer — A bouncer that allows access to a stream when there is an event in the iCalendar file.
  • VIII. Miscellaneous Components
    • porter — A component that listens to a network port on behalf of other components (like http-streamer and http-server).
