Streaming doesn't work when using vlm files

Postby MrLou » 16 Apr 2009 18:05

Hi all,

I hope someone can help me understand the strange behaviour I'm seeing when trying to transcode internet audio streams from the BBC.

The following command line is successful on my FC5 system, with vlc 0.9.8a.

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/wm_asx/aod/radio1_hi.asx --no-sout-video --sout "#transcode{acodec=mp3}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=239.16.2.10:1234}"
However, if I use a vlm file to do the same job:

Code: Select all

vlc --verbose=2 --ttl 1 --vlm-conf /root/lou/Channels.vlm
where the vlm file contains:

Code: Select all

new channel1 broadcast enabled setup channel1 input http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/wm_asx/aod/radio1_hi.asx setup channel1 output #transcode{acodec=mp3}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=239.16.2.10:1234} setup channel1 option sout-all setup channel1 option sout-keep control channel1 play
It doesn't work, I guess that either I didn't provide the vlm options correctly, or maybe there's a problem with playlists when used in a vlm file?

The other thing that might be of interest is that if I change my vlm file to point to the stream listed in the asx file it works fine, this is what's making think there may be a slight playlist handling problem.

I've attached relevant debug output from the both the successful and unsuccessful attempts below.

I should explain that I would really like to use a vlm file as a downstream application of mine requires one and I don't want to have to rewrite that particular app!

With best regards,

Lou
