These errors always appear: (
VLC player plays udp: / / @ 230.0.0.1:1234 I'm within 5 seconds of watching I need a picture, but then streaming stops.

I changed the codecs and other settings, but nothing has changed.

I have had sorta the same issue but worked around it.

My problem ended up being that the background image I was using was the same size or smaller then my video feed. For what ever reason, vlc would eat all my memory and then quit.

To fix it, I made sure my background image was slightly larger then my largest video feed size.

Example: If I knew my video file height and width was 240 x 320 then I would make my background image a size of 256 x 336 and that seemed to work for me.

You can see my example in action by clicking on the link I have in my sig, and you'll see the black boarder around my video image.

I'm not sure if the my suggestion will fix your issue, but its worth trying. best of luck, and post how you figured out on how to resolve it.

I tried ... it did not help...

I install 1.0.4 version...and simplified the task.

Tells me its trying to open your sound device/sound card. I could be off.. I'm doing everything via linux for the most part.

Either way.. switch your back ground image from a PNG to a JPG.

I think I switched from PNG to JPG because the PNG wouldn't work right for me.

Yes, this server no sound card.

Either way.. switch your back ground image from a PNG to a JPG.

Of course I tried jpg and png, and yet nothing has changed. still the same errors.

I'm more interested in error "libdvbpsi error (PSI decoder): TS discontinuity"...
I think the problem in it...

[kdh]

you say it does work for a few seconds then dies right?

before you kick off your processes, can you open up task manager, kick off your vlc process and see what happens to your memory utilization? i have a feeling that vlc is quickly eating up all your memory and dieing.

i had those same error messages the TS disontinuity ones, when i used a png image but switched to a jpg image and made sure my jpg image was larger then my largest video stream as noted above.

I know some people have had issues with windows, mosiac and vlc 1.0.X.

Can you try your same exact config with the vlc 0.9.9 releases? Here is a quick link to it from one of the videolan mirrors. http://videolan.cdn.cacheboy.net/vlc/0. ... -win32.exe

whats that do for you?

Right!

On the server, 4GB of RAM.
He is in memory only 70mb before video stream dying(not process), after dying, process begins to devour all the free memory and CPU usage remains at the same level,and when devour all memory dies.
I tried to use as background is JPG and PNG sizes (greater than video, a lot more video stream, less than the video stream, etc.) ...

Just tried this version. Nothing has changed.

P.S I try it on windows server 2003. But today i try it on the notebook with Windows XP.....and....nothing has changed Little later, try on a version for Linux.

BIG thanks to you that are trying to help me.

Weird..

Can you make sure you Image height and Width are divisable by 16? Same with your video.

Is mosaic a must? Have you tried doing the same with out the mosaic part?

I can help with the command line if you need assistance with it.

[Saint_Anger]

Can you make sure you Image height and Width are divisable by 16? Same with your video.

My background resolution is 736x592.
Input video stream resolution 720x576 with framerate 25.
mosaic resolution options:

Code: Select all

setup bg option mosaic-height=[b]576[/b] setup bg option mosaic-width=[b]720[/b]

Input option:

Code: Select all

setup Euronews output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=Euronews,[b]width=320,height=256[/b]},select=video,dst=bridge-out{id=0}}

what am I doing wrong? May be a problem in / dev / hands?

Is mosaic a must? Have you tried doing the same with out the mosaic part?

Yes, I tried. Simple streaming with transcoding and without mosaic works perfectly!

I can help with the command line if you need assistance with it.

Thanks to Linux I have no problem with the command line, but if I need any specific things I'm sure you'll ask
I'm more interested in the nature of errors and their solutions

[kdh]

I see you are setting your background size in the mosiac settings..

When I mean resize your image, I mean.. take your background image, whatever it might be.. go into photoshop and resize it to 736x592 jpg.

I did the same as you, by setting it in the mosiac settings and it was crash city.

sorry i wasn't clear before.

Right, I did so!

I tried to remove the mosaic settings, but nothing has changed.
I tried to set the settings mosaic equal resolution images, nothing has changed.

Can you give an example of 100% of the working vlm-config with simple mosaic?

[kdh]

Sure.. I'll share mine that I'm using for my site.


This is the command use to start my service.

Code: Select all

vlc -I telnet --sout-mux=6000 --vlm-conf $maindir/videocontrols/mosaic.vlm.conf --ttl 12 --fake-file=$maindir/mediaswitch/EverydayJunglist.resize.jpg --udp-caching 800 --mosaic-keep-picture --mosaic-rows 1 --mosaic-cols 1 --mosaic-position 1 --mosaic-order 1 --loop --sout-keep --mosaic-align=0 --daemon --telnet-host=127.0.0.1"

Here is a snippit of my conf file.

Code: Select all

new channel1 broadcast enabled setup channel1 input http://127.0.0.1:9970 setup channel1 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=1},select=video,dst=bridge-out{id=1}} ##Shout Cast new channel2 broadcast enabled setup channel2 input http://everydayjunglist.org:8000 setup channel2 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=2},select=video,dst=bridge-out{id=2}} new background broadcast enabled setup background input fake:// setup background output #transcode{sfilter=mosaic,vcodec=h264,acodec=mp3,vb=100,ab=64,height=288,width=360}:bridge-in{delay=1,id-offset=100}:gather:standard{access=http,mux=ffmpeg{flv},dst=everydayjunglist.org:8081/stream.flv,name="mosaic"} setup background option mosaic-keep-picture control channel2 play control background play control channel1 play

I start my shoutcast input because my audio feed doesn't work correctly if I start it before my background image. It has something to do with how VLC handles flash. Then I start my background, and then I start my main video feed.

Hope that helps..
