I think I have found 2 bugs in 0.8.5. I have tried the debian package and also compiled the latest CVS but I have the same behavior in both.
First bug: the Marquee no longer works. I have noticed a couple of other threads on this. There are no error messages but nothing displays on the screen. Specifcally this is through the rc interface:
marq-opacity 100
marq-opacity: returned 0 (no error)
marq-marquee STRING
marq-marquee: returned 0 (no error)
no errors - but nothing displays
Second bug: when Pausing via the http interface, vlc seg faults.
from vlc.log - status change: ( pause state: 2 )
But the stream is dead.
Can anyone else help verify these bugs for me? I want to make sure they are bugs before I post them to the bugs list. Here is my command line:
/home/brossard/vlc-0.8.5/vlc -vvv --logmode=html -I http --http-host :8081 --extraintf rc --rc-fake-tty --rc-host :8082 --marq-timeout 5000 "$1" vlc:quit --sout='#transcode{vb=512,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=64,channels=2,sfilter=marq}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,url=:8080}}' &
