streaming video problem

[geotek]

Using the raspivid -t 999999 -0 - | nc [insert IP address] 5001
I cannot get it to work. I understand the the character after the (-o) is an emdash not a dash?
If this is correct, how can I create an emdash using debian linux via Putty or SSH remotely?
Thanks
Tom

That is supposed to be a dash, not em-dash. Command line characters are always (at least, I hope never to come across an exception) limited to 7-bit ascii, where there is no such thing as an em-dash, and where dash is the same as minus is the same as ascii code 45 (decimal).

I notice that in the command line you give there is -0 (dash zero) which I don't think raspivid recognizes. You probably want to use -o (dash lowercase-o).

I still cannot view the video remotely from the Raspberry Pi to a Windows machine using the original code example. Both computers are on the same network and on the same domain. When I Run the Mplayer/Netcat on the Windows PC it appears to recognize the command but date file/count does not advance from zero. Any ideas out there?

have you tried setting a rule in windows firewall for netcat?

i found adding nc.exe to the inbound firewalls rules solved this for me. also i installed netcat to c:// though i'm not sure if location makes any difference.
