The VideoLAN Forums

Hi.

Is VLC server reliable and can support thousands of video streams?

Regards.

Hi. I found 3 very serious issues in 0.9.x versions (0.8.x didn't work at all with multiple VLC per page). 1) The latest ActiveX seems not to be compatible with IE6. The browser closes immediately when a page with ActiveX is loaded. 2) The ActiveX sometimes closes IE7 as well - without any error mes...

Hi.

Can anyone post the command line allowing to stream with VLC to mobile phones?

I know it's possible (seen reports about this several times), but just can't find the command line.

Regards.

New issue:

When I compile a release version of VLC (using --enable-release), I get video only in a single window. All rest are black. Any idea if the release optimizations are causing this?

Hi. When I use multiple ActiveX objects, and hide/show them (or move them off-screen when not visible), sometimes the ActiveX "detach" from browser, and appear as independent windows, which even can be closed. The windows are titled "VideoLan DirectShow". I'm using the NB 0.9.0. ...

Hi.

What module I should try? And what option should be provided to ActiveX to control it there?

Regards.

Hi.

Does this version supports post-processing, which was disabled in 0.9?

Regards.

After some more trying, I still can't enable the post-processing in 0.9. Command line options (--postproc-q 6) didn't help too. Following my search in Google, I found the following one: http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2008-June/044608.html Here it basically says that post-proc was di...

Thank, this helped.

Thanks, this helps.

Hi. The only place where I managed to find the postproc option is in Video/Filters/postproc. Problem is, it's set on 6, but it visibly doesn't show any improvement, nor any debug messages about enabled post-processing are printed (as it was in 0.8 ). Any idea how to check it for sure, that it's work...

Hi.

Any idea how to specify the plugins locations for the ActiveX?

Regards.

Hi.

How I can specify the plugins directory for VLC?

Regards.

Hi.

I noticed that postproc in 0.9 NB set to 6, but it visibly seems to be turned off (at least compared to 0.8 postproc on 6).

Any idea where in menus I can turn it on? There is no longer postproc menu in right click over movie, like it was in 0.9.

Regards.

I tried to use the .add() fuction where you can specify the options, but it seems that modules have to be loaded on start-up - which of course happens before the said function.

Here is a VLC config that I'm using with yesterday NB and the august 08 contribs. It works fine. PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH \ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \ CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \ LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \ CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX=...

Hi.

How exactly it can be done on the ActiveX level?

Regards.

Actually, I found a method called "builtins" where you simply edit the vlc-config and move the required modules into the builtins specifier.

Any idea if this approach works on VLC, and what is the minimum required set of builtin modules (if I switch all to builtins)?

After checking a bit, I can see this specified by something called "builtins".

Can I simply movie the plugins to builtins, and what is the minimum recommended set of modules?

Anything new about this issue?

I have built a debug version of VLC, so I can provide a debug output if needed.

Just let me know what exactly to send.

Regards.

No, I used the latest snapshot (18.08).

I managed to solve it by removing parts of plugins.

No, and this is the point, to get all self-contained with single application without additional installer, following GPL guidelines of course.

Hi.

Thanks for the response.

How it's possible then to point VLC to the correct directory of the plugins? How it finds them?

Regards.

Hi. I downloaded the current nightly build (18.08), and followed the manual at: http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCygwinNew, but unable to finish the compilation. The libtool complains that it can't find the library src/libvlccore.la, or unhandled argument src/libvlccore.la - but the la file is c...

Hi.

The ActiveX by itself works fine. Problem is, that it can't find the plugins directory. I tried placing them in the same folder, but it didn't help.

Any idea how it can be pointed to the plugins?

Regards.
