Never tried dvb-s only dvb-t, but yes but you must have BDA drivers to work. Below is command file for BDA driver using ABC HD in Australia. You need scale=0.5 on my Pentium D 950 dual 3.4 ghz cpu since VLC is single stream and does not have the grunt for HD without stutter above this size. If you h...

Release notes (Important Notes) for 9.2 state that EXTVLCOPT playlist parsing is now longer automatic and that the command line must contain -m3u-extvlcopt option to enable playlist parsing. It was not necessary for prior to VLC 8.6c, but needed command line options for VLC 8.6d onwards which worked...

Further to m3u playlist issues with latest VLC9.2 release, I am unable to use playlists at all. The command vlc --m3u-extvlcopt fred.m3u fails every time with an error message "The command line option couldn't be loaded, check that they are valid". The syntax works fine for all versions of...

No drivers are not the problem (I use BDA drivers not WDM, WDM is the old style of driver model used for analog tv devices). I can stream too LAN using some of the commands that I previously stated, but transcoding and streaming seems too be the problem, not sure what it is really as the older versi...

Here's what I've tried... Current version of VLC works ok as per my previous command lines in Sept 2007 and even now works with scale=other than 1.0, which has been a problem for a while. Quite happy now to stream in Microsoft MMS format for use with Tversity to stream to DLINK DSM 320. Must have d...

Here's what I've tried... etc non stop looks like an IP issue Regards Terry As far I could figure out ages ago (I haven't tested any recent builds) when I was streaming dvb using vlc you must specify an IP for http - why because it must know the destination, it is only when you are using udp broadc...

I am not sure if any others have a similar issue, but Vista does not recognise valid graphedit filters that work fine in XP. I have a Compro Videomate DVB-T 300 Hybrid card and this works fine in XP, however the Filter "Videomate BDA Audio capture" is not shown in Vista as a sound device e...

Here's what I've tried... * Windows XP SP2 * DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Pro (drivers from 3.63.01 version) * VLC 0.9 from the nightles on 24/11 Using the command line (entered in the GUI) : dvbt:// :dvb-frequency=219500000 :dvb-bandwidth=7 :sout=#duplicate{dst=display} :sout-display-delay=1024 Where 21...

BTW, where are you going to live in Oz? I am returning to Melbourne after 6 years in the UK. My master plan is to build a VLC capture engine into WebScheduler or should I say Open TV Scheduler Hi Ken Thought I'd add a bit on top of what Grant has already given you. VLC 9 has trouble transcoding any...

I have transcode as necessary, not always. Could be an issue, I also use screen size of 640 x 480, but I do not think that is an issue. Yeah, I transcode when needed too. I have an iPod and use aac encoding that TVersity transcodes when I play my music library at home. I agree that the screen size ...

D'oh! Dopey me! :oops: Can't even get the command line right. Thanks to your help I finally have got VLC to stream something to the DSM. Interestingly I tried DIV3 as you suggested and, while I could get graphedit to render it and I could play it locally using TVersity on the PC, the DSM wouldn't p...

Something went wrong with the command line syntax in the last post it should read "C:\Program Files\Videolan\Vlv\Vlc.exe" http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/tv/mediawat ... 7_ep22.wmv :sout=#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=3072,scale=1,acodec=wma,ab=96,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,...

I must be holding my tongue the wrong way! :evil: I can't get graphedit to accept ANYTHING I send from VLC. I can render internet video in it, like http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/tv/mediawatch/mediawatch_2007_ep22.wmv perfectly. But download and try to stream the same thing from VLC and graphedit just...

For Tversity to be able to stream anything onwards, it needs to readable (and decipherable) by graphedit. the only format I have been able to get going successfully is WMV1, WMV2 or DIV3 as the vcodec and wma (yes) as the acodec with very specific bit rates for the acodec. Wrap this up with asfh und...

Another variation on a theme is to use Mediaportal and to stream using the manual control in the TV server, pick that up with VLC and stream to Tversity in mmsh that way. Since The TV Server streams in rtsp the following playlist entry works fine in VLC to pick it up and send onwards in mmsh. I find...

JTVLAN and Web Scheduler do indead work well enough to stream via VLC to Tversity and hence DSM320, in fact I had this one going some time before VLC9 and I believe VLC9 option is a bit cleaner and simpler. The stream setup for JTVlan is as below For JTVLAN Server standard{access=http,mux=ts,url=:77...

Already done with a second version of VLC8.6c as per my initial post of a week or 2 ago on dual core Pentium D950 (3.4ghz). Works well enough but just seems somewhat inefficient and does max out my system on decent transcode bit rates, have to scale it down a bit with scale=0.625 as well to ensure H...

to KMF31 Yes VLC can transcode to WMV2 and WMA not a problem using VLC8.6 variants and it even takes the output of http streaming from dvbt VLC9 system and converts to windows media format. If you read the posts, you would see that I (and others) need windows media format that Tversity can recognise...

Could any of the developers please cast any light on the progress of transcode within VLC 9 and the usage of dvbt etc. I am able to stream quite happily with http as per above using the default mpgv and mpga codecs from the dvbt stream, but any attempt to transcode results in a crash of VLC in modul...

Sorry for VLC (8.9) read VLC (8.6) in previous post

CH7 is ok, the 1080i channels need scaling, otherwise in 2nd VLC stream (8.9) aspect ration is less than 1 instead of 1.7 and picture looks thin when viewed on Windows Media Player using mms://ip address:port

I too have had success with getting DVBT working, on single or multiple programs, however streaming in other than default http is a bit of a problem, since transcode does not seem to work with the stream and crashes out VLC 9. I am using a late Jun 2007 version. The parameters I use after the VLC co...

Yes I know, mp3 works fine for streaming, but some applications I use require somewhat strict adherance to wmv/wma in the stream. So whilst it may not seem sensible to some, to me it is important and adds real value to VLC.
