Answer 1

You can use the NativeLibVlc.cs file available at VLC site.

To stream the bitmap file use following code

   vlc.AddTarget("fake://", new string[] {":no-overlay", ":input-repeat=-1", 
                        ":vout-filter=adjust", ":fake-file=" + fileName.Trim(), ":fake-fps=1",
                        ":brightness="+50, ":fake-caching=100"} , ref playListId);

 vlc.Play(playListId);

To stream webcam over UPD on port 1234 use following code

cd "C:\program files\videolan\vlc"
vlc.exe -vvv --dshow-vdev="Logitech QuickCam Express / Go" dshow:// --sout #transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=localhost:1234}}

To stream a video on port 1234 use following code

cd "C:\program files\videolan\vlc" 
vlc.exe -vvv C:\filename.wmv --repeat --sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=localhost:1234}}

To stream a image on localhost port 1234 use following code

cd "C:\program files\videolan\vlc" 
vlc -I dummy fake:// --fake-file c:\1.jpg -vvv --sout #transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=localhost:1234}}
