Changes between 0.8.2 and 0.8.4:

Stream output:
* New shout output module to forward streams to icecast servers

Is there any documentation about this module ?

Thanks VLC is great.

Hello,

You need to build the stream output chain "yourself".

Use '#shout{url=user:password@server_host:server_port/mountpoint}'

It's not very user-friendly at the moment, we'll see what we can do

damn i tried this MRL :
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=128,scale=0.5,acodec=vmp3,ab=64,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=#shout{url=tv404:my_pass@localhost:8000/tv404.ogg}}
and add this in my icecast config :
<mount>
<mount-name>/tv404.ogg</mount-name>

<username>tv404</username>
<password>my_pass</password>
<max-listeners>1</max-listeners>
<no-yp>1</no-yp>
</mount>
doesn't working i guess ...

is there something wrong in my MRL ?

i have similar problem i can get it to transcode ogg
using
vlc -vvv http://stream:port --sout '#transcode{acodec=vorbis,ab=96}:standard{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:pass@server:port/llink.ogg}'

but i want to use mp3
even if u try
vlc -vvv http://stream:port --sout '#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=192}:standard{access=shout,mux=mp3,url=source:pass@server:port/link.mp3}'

that doesnt work because of the mux=mp3 :/
any idea's i tried --sout '#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=192}:#shout{url=source:pass@server:port/llink.mp3}'

no go :\

you might need to use access=shout{mp3=1}

see https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/file/trun ... ut/shout.c for more info.

you should use raw or es to mux mp3.

i've been trying to set up an icecast server in windows but can't get VLC to stream to icecast2

my command line to launch vlc is:
vlc.exe file://c:\test.ogg --sout '#transcode{acodec=vorbis,ab=96}:standard{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:hackme@127.0.0.1:8008/llink.ogg}'

and the debug information from vlc is:
main debug: using sout chain=`std{mux="",access="'#transcode{acodec=vorbis,ab=96}",url="standard{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:hackme@127.0.0.1:8008/llink.ogg}'"}'
main debug: stream=`std'
main debug: looking for sout stream module: 1 candidate
main warning: missing value for option mux
main debug: set sout option: sout-standard-access to '#transcode{acodec=vorbis,ab=96}
main debug: set sout option: sout-standard-url to standard{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:hackme@127.0.0.1:8008/llink.ogg}'
stream_out_standard debug: creating `'#transcode{acodec=vorbis,ab=96}/(null)://standard{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:hackme@127.0.0.1:8008/llink.ogg}''
stream_out_standard debug: extention is ogg}'
stream_out_standard debug: extention -> mux=(null)
stream_out_standard error: no mux specified or found by extention
main warning: no sout stream module matching "std" could be loaded
main debug: destroying chain... (name=std)
main debug: destroying chain done
main error: stream chained failed for `std{mux="",access="'#transcode{acodec=vorbis,ab=96}",url="standard{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:hackme@127.0.0.1:8008/llink.ogg}'"}'
main error: cannot start stream output instance, aborting


so for some reason vlc isn't parsing the "mux=ogg" part of the command line...? i tried rearanging it to the way that the error suggests (with the mux= at the begining) but i got the same error.

I've using VLC 0.8.4a. I also tried with the latest nightly build for windows but this didn't help.

I assume it's something stupid that i'm doing in the command syntax - could someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong?

thanks in advance,

mark.

thanks dionoea,

unfortunately it still doesn't work though...

new command
start c:\progra~1\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe file://c:\test.ogg sout=#std{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:hackme@localhost:8000/llink.ogg}

new error
main error: no suitable access module for `sout=#std{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:hackme@localhost:8000/llink.ogg}'

is the shout module definitely enabled in the official release of 0.8.4a? as i said, i've tried the nightlies as well but that didn't make any difference.

thanks,
mark.

oops! firstly, slight mistake in my last attempt - i forgot the "--" before "sout" so vlc was parsing the sout part of my command as a seperate playlist item!

however, revised command is as follows:
start c:\progra~1\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe file://c:\test.ogg --sout=#std{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:hackme@localhost:8000/llink.ogg}

hehe :) the shout module wasn't enabled in the windows nightly build (and i doubt that it was enabled in the official windows build). I updated the windows nightly build configure line to compile it. It should be available in tomorrow's nightly (tell me if it works).

freebsd vlc-devel build

Postby bytebanditkiller » 24 Jan 2006 22:51

hello it's me again...

i took my freebsd laptop and installed the vlc-devel port and .... yepp.

for everyone this module shout must be only available in the latest devel sources.

i hope it will soon get to release state as there are actually not a lot of video streamer's for theora and on the freebsd side there are none, as far as i know.

so it seem's i have to turn over to the gentoo linux box to put my theora stream on my icecast server.

because i have the following error when i try to connect to the server:

Code: Select all

vlc -vv /home/rik/dvd/Madagascar.avi :sout=#transcode{vcodec=theora,vb=256,scale=1,acodec=vorbis,ab=32,channels=1}:std{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=videosource:password@192.168.30.4:8000}

Code: Select all

Try this instead :

Code: Select all

vlc -vv /home/rik/dvd/Madagascar.avi :sout="#transcode{vcodec=theora,vb=256,scale=1,acodec=vorbis,ab=32,channels=1}:std{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=videosource:password@192.168.30.4:8000} "
(the shell is changing your command line before VLC even gets to read it which explains the errors)

no sout access module matched "shout"

Postby bytebanditkiller » 25 Jan 2006 21:04

thank you for your answer...

yes you where right i had not the right syntax i was too tired. but after all now there must be maybe another wrong usage i have a problem.

BECAUSE i have the exactly same error like on my OSX system that i posted before:

no sout access module matched "shout"


Do you have a idea what is wrong there? i whould be very very pleased to solve this problem.

I have compiled the following sources

Code: Select all

vlc-devel-0.8.5.20060114_3
i have used the folloging command:

Code: Select all

vlc -vv /dvd/Madagascar.avi :sout="#transcode{vcodec=theora,vb=256,acodec=vorb,ab=32}:std{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=videosource:gogoget@192.168.30.4:8000/video.ogg}"
i have tried also many variants of syntax --sout "# --sout='# i also tried every variant with the blanc space before the last " and without.

thank you and everyone for answers.

i have similar problem i can get it to transcode ogg
using
vlc -vvv http://stream:port --sout '#transcode{acodec=vorbis,ab=96}:standard{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:pass@server:port/llink.ogg}'

but i want to use mp3
even if u try
vlc -vvv http://stream:port --sout '#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=192}:standard{access=shout,mux=mp3,url=source:pass@server:port/link.mp3}'

that doesnt work because of the mux=mp3 :/
any idea's i tried --sout '#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=192}:#shout{url=source:pass@server:port/llink.mp3}'

I'm trying to reformat a broadcast from WMA to MP3

My source is http://216.145.239.244:8080

I'm using following sintax treformat it to MP3 and send it to a mounitng point /igtest on a shoutcast server
:sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=32,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=raw,url=hackme@216.86.149.246:8000/igtest}}

But, not very lucky at that.

Please help!
