The VideoLAN Forums

It's working under win2k actually, and I have 2 cards streaming on the same windows box. Took some work, but it's do-able. Note that for some reason the H263 does not work. It appears only mp1, mp2, and mp4 are the only transcoders working in vlc.

Here's an answer:

Ok, I have been fighting with VLC and VLS for over 3 weeks now trying to get a workable Linux solution. As far as I can see, if you want anything other than recorded stuff, it just doesn't work in Linux due to the PVR driver support. Yes, I can get my PVR-250 working just fine, but VLC won't play ni...

I am using the Hauppauge PVR-250 with the CX23416 chip.

First off....good luck...you're gonna need it. Second, I have 9 streams multicasting from my network, but they are all windows machines. Linux just doesn't work (imagine, a linux program that works better on a windows pc). The only way to do what you are after is to use TV cards to capture the input...

That's right. How can you document what you can't use? It's simple. Get one person so they can actually install and use it, and task them with documenting the steps to make it work. You guys wrote the program, not us. You should already know what it takes to install it.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I can't document it because by the time I do get it working, I have installed so much crap trying to resolve the error, that I don't know which program got the file installed for me. I agree that whoever makes the binary should have a page or at leaset include...

Welcome to the club

I wasn't trying to be rude, I was trying to get someones attention. I understand it being open source. And yes I have seen the stupid posts as well. But by the same token, I have seen legitimate posts go unanswered. I have 2 of them posted myself. As I read through the posts, I answer questions I ca...

Does anyone, especially the developers, actually read and respond to these posts? I've submitted several myself and only had one responded to. I've even sent the development team an email about hiring them with no response. What gives guys? What's the real deal here? Is this a corporate project that...

When you configure the library, use the --prefix=/usr it will work after that. ex. ./configure --prefix=/usr

then make && make install

Worked for me. Now if I could just get my pvr-250 to broadcast all would be well with the world.

Not sure what the deal is, but I've tried searching the forums, and every setting I can think of. I have RH9 with 2 pvr-250 cards. From the command line I can grab video and put it in a file: cat /dev/video0> test.mpg cat /dev/video1 > test.mpg Vlc plays the recording just fine. When I do the stream...

Why is it every single time I install this thing I get different library dependancy errors? I just did a fresh RH9 install with X, Gnome and KDE...yet when I try to install vlc I get: error: Failed dependencies: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4) is needed by mozilla-1.6-2 libXinerama.so.1 is needed by vlc-0.7....

I was wondering if anyone had tried this before. I am implementing a diskless client station, and would like them to be able to watch vlc programs. How would I link to their hardware?

I think the problem is the fact that windows browsers don't understand the udp:// protocol, although there appears to be a way to do it on the linux side. The biggest issue I see on the forum is how to create a hyperlink i.e. udp://@239.255.1.1, be able to click that link and launch vlc playing the ...

Doesn't answer the question, unfortunately.

That doesn't address the ability to list the playlist on a webpage, and be able to launch from there. I have seen multiple posts on the subject, and it never gets answered unless it's the "You don't want multicast unless you know what it is" repsonse. I know what it is, I know I want to us...

Sure if you want VOD...but NOT multicast.

Good luck with this one...I been trying to get an answer to that for a week.

Is it possible to have a web page with links to UDP multicast addresses? In other words, if I were streaming a few channels, and wanted to take the playlist and convert it to a web page and make the multicast MRL a hyperlink, would that work? If so, what would the link syntax look like?

Thanks
