Programming with libvlc_vlm

Postby darkweaver87 » 15 Jul 2008 11:22

Hi everyone,

I would like to change some parameters of a video while it's playing such as bitrate, width ...

I try this a the telnet control :

Code: Select all

new channel1 broadcast enabled setup channel1 input file:///home/partage/Videos/pepsi_baeren.mpg setup channel1 output #transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1024,width=256}:duplicate{dst=std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.34:6789}} control channel1 play control channel1 pause show channel1 del channel1 new channel1 broadcast enabled setup channel1 input file:///home/partage/Videos/pepsi_baeren.mpg setup channel1 output #transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1024,width=32}:duplicate{dst=std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.34:6789}} control channel1 seek control channel1 play
So, first question: Is there a simpler mean to do this ?

But now I have to implement a software (on the streaming server) which can adapt the width, etc of a video when the client send a message to the streaming server. I tried to do the same thing like I have done with the telnet interface but functions I use may not be in the API :

Code: Select all

CC server_vlc.o server_vlc.c: In function ‘streamerVLC’: server_vlc.c:78: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘libvlc_vlm_get_media_instance_position’ server_vlc.c:78: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘libvlc_vlm_get_media_instance_position’ server_vlc.c:107: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘libvlc_vlm_seek_media’ server_vlc.c:107: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘libvlc_vlm_seek_media’ LIB libserver.so INSTALL libserver.so CC prog.o BIN prog ../build/libserver.so: undefined reference to `libvlc_vlm_seek_media' ../build/libserver.so: undefined reference to `libvlc_vlm_get_media_instance_position' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [prog] Error 1 make: *** [build] Error 2
It seems normal because :

Code: Select all

cat /usr/include/vlc/*.h | grep libvlc_vlm * defgroup libvlc_vlm VLM void libvlc_vlm_add_broadcast( libvlc_instance_t *, char *, char *, char* , void libvlc_vlm_del_media( libvlc_instance_t *, char *, libvlc_exception_t * ); void libvlc_vlm_set_enabled( libvlc_instance_t *, char *, int, void libvlc_vlm_set_output( libvlc_instance_t *, char *, char*, void libvlc_vlm_set_input( libvlc_instance_t *, char *, char*, void libvlc_vlm_set_loop( libvlc_instance_t *, char *, int, void libvlc_vlm_change_media( libvlc_instance_t *, char *, char *, char* , void libvlc_vlm_play_media ( libvlc_instance_t *, char *, libvlc_exception_t * ); void libvlc_vlm_stop_media ( libvlc_instance_t *, char *, libvlc_exception_t * ); void libvlc_vlm_pause_media( libvlc_instance_t *, char *, libvlc_exception_t * );
Here is my sample code :

Code: Select all

... #include <vlc/libvlc.h> ... libvlc_exception_t vlcExcep; libvlc_instance_t *vlcInstance; float position; libvlc_exception_init (&vlcExcep); char *vlcOptions[] = {""}; if((vlcInstance = libvlc_new(1, vlcOptions, &vlcExcep)) == NULL || libvlc_exception_raised(&vlcExcep)) { perror("libvlc_new"); return NULL; } libvlc_vlm_add_broadcast(vlcInstance, "test", "file:///home/partage/Videos/superman_originale.avi", "#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.2:1234}}", 0, vlcOptions, 1, 0, &vlcExcep); if(libvlc_exception_raised(&vlcExcep)) { perror("libvlc_vlm_add_broadcast"); return NULL; } libvlc_vlm_play_media(vlcInstance, "test", &vlcExcep); if(libvlc_exception_raised(&vlcExcep)) { perror("libvlc_vlm_play_media"); return NULL; } sleep(5); libvlc_vlm_pause_media(vlcInstance, "test", &vlcExcep); if(libvlc_exception_raised(&vlcExcep)) { perror("libvlc_vlm_pause_media"); return NULL; } position = libvlc_vlm_get_media_instance_position(vlcInstance, "test", 0, &vlcExcep); if(libvlc_exception_raised(&vlcExcep)) { perror("libvlc_vlm_get_media_instance_position"); return NULL; } //position = 0.5; libvlc_vlm_del_media(vlcInstance, "test", &vlcExcep); if(libvlc_exception_raised(&vlcExcep)) { perror("libvlc_vlm_del_media"); return NULL; } libvlc_vlm_add_broadcast(vlcInstance, "test", "file:///home/partage/Videos/superman_originale.avi", "#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1024,scale=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.2:1234}}", 0, vlcOptions, 1, 0, &vlcExcep); libvlc_vlm_seek_media(vlcInstance, "test", position, &vlcExcep); if(libvlc_exception_raised(&vlcExcep)) { perror("libvlc_vlm_seek_media"); return NULL; } libvlc_vlm_play_media(vlcInstance, "test", &vlcExcep); if(libvlc_exception_raised(&vlcExcep)) { perror("libvlc_vlm_play_media"); return NULL; } ...
Any ideas ?

Thanks.

PS: I'm using libvlc0-dev

cat /usr/include/vlc/*.h | grep libvlc_vlm
This is because you must work with latest version of vlc (yet unstable) to access all of API's functions referenced here http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/ ... ibvlc.html

latest vlc is here http://nightlies.videolan.org/

Ok thank you I'll test this afternoon :D

Edit: It seems to work but I still have some troubles :

Code: Select all

[00000001] main libvlc debug: translation test: code is "C" [00000406] [Media: test] main access out error: no sout access module matched "rtp" [00000404] [Media: test] stream_out_standard stream out error: no suitable sout access module for `rtp/ts://192.168.1.2:1234' [00000402] [Media: test] stream_out_duplicate stream out error: no destination given [00000399] [Media: test] stream_out_transcode stream out error: cannot create chain [00000398] [Media: test] main stream output error: stream chain failed for `transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.2:1234}}' [00000397] [Media: test] main input error: cannot start stream output instance, aborting libvlc_vlm_pause_media: Resource temporarily unavailable
Are all modules implemented on vlc 0.86 available on this version ?
Even with the Qt interface I tried : Media -> Streaming -> Stream -> RTP (:sout=#duplicate{dst=rtp{,dst=192.168.1.2:1234}}) -> Stream but I didn't success in streaming my video (I get an other window with some error messages).

What can I do ?

works for me :

Maybe your command line is wrong (but you didn't post it so I just tried to guess what you want to do)
Or you don't have rtp module ?

try this :
./vlc --list | grep rtp
VLC media player 0.9.0-test3 Grishenko
stream_out_rtp RTP stream output
rtp (Experimental) Real-Time Protocol demuxer

I've the RTP module I think :

Code: Select all

In fact what I want to do is this :
- the server (the application I had to develop) is listening
- the client send it a sip message with its features (such as its resolution)
- the server starts the streaming of the video (in RTP) with the destination the IP address of the client
- during the video is playing the client realize that the there is a lot of traffic and the fluidity is decreasing. So it send an other SIP message containing the command "decrease the bitrate" (for instance).

So the server must be able to adapt these parameters on the video. And, I chose VLC because it is for me the project the most successfully completed.

I am writting my application in C and I use libvlc.

but I try to do the same as the command line in C to have a control on the instance from my apllication (for instance decrease the bitrate).

Your second command line is wrong so you need to look out vlc documentation and rewrite it with something like :
'#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=rtp{mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.33:1234}}'
which seems to works.

You should read
http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-h ... /ch03.html
" rtp: streams over RTP This can only be used to stream MPEG-TS over plain RTP. Support for this option has been removed in VLC 0.9.0 and latter. You should use the rtp stream output module instead. Options are the same as for the udp setting. "

Hi,

OK. Works fine now with this sample command :
vlc /home/partage/Videos/pepsi_baeren.mpg --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=2}:duplicate{dst=rtp{mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.34,port=1234}}"
However I didn't success in transcoding the stream in h264 (the current version 0.86 of VLC support) this.with :
vlc /home/partage/Videos/pepsi_baeren.mpg --sout "#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1024,scale=2}:duplicate{dst=rtp{mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.34,port=1234}}"

[00000001] main libvlc debug: translation test: code is "C"
[00000001] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[00000493] avcodec encoder error: cannot find encoder H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)

[00000491] main packetizer error: cannot create packetizer output (mpgv)
Thanks again.

Edit:

With a good string my application works but when I call :

Code: Select all

printf("show : %s\n", libvlc_vlm_show_media(vlcInstance, "test", &vlcExcep)); if(libvlc_exception_raised(&vlcExcep)) { perror("l libvlc_vlm_show_media"); return NULL; }
I got this message in my console :
show : (null)
l libvlc_vlm_show_media: Resource temporarily unavailable

sorry I don't know about that, and this is another issue you should post in another forum section.

are you aware your configuration has both '--disable-x264' and '--enable-x264' .. last one is disable this might be causing the x264 encoder module to be not loaded.

Hi,

I don't think I can help you because my team and me, because of the bug I posted for, have given up vlc to do what we wanted. After that, we chose to use GStreamer which is more complex but works for our subject.

I can't help you anymore on vlc.
