What's the proper syntax?

I can't seem to get the repeat, loop, random, rate, faster, slower to work. > repeat on Error in `repeat on' lua/intf/modules/common.lua:16: bad argument #-1 to 'foo' (boolean expected, got string) > loop on Error in `loop on' lua/intf/modules/common.lua:16: bad argument #-1 to 'foo' (boolean expect...

Nevermind.

Prepend "gather:" in front of transcode.

Thanks but I get main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late (pts_delay increased to 300 ms) now. How can I avoid this?

I can start the stream okay with: vlc "Intermission.mkv" --sout "#transcode{vcodec=h264,scale=1.0,soverlay}:std{access=http{mime=video/x-flv},mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=:8080/stream.flv}" --sout-keep --loop --sub-track-id=0 --freetype-font=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/arial.tt...

Alright I did yum instal fontconfig-devel
Now the ./configure works and compiled after.

It's using the right font now, thanks for the help Jean-Baptiste Kempf!

I did a ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/customvlc/vlc.1.1.2 --enable-shout --enable-x264 --disable-nls --disable-mozilla --disable-a52 --disable-xcb --disable-qt4 --disable-skins2 --disable-v4l2 --enable-fontconfig I see that in my config.log it says: conftest.c:190:35: error: fontconfig/fontconfig....

do you have fontconfig in it?

How can I tell if I have fontconfig in it?

So the VLC that I downloaded from repoforge didn't have x264 enabled, so I ended up compiling VLC to add it in. I fixed it by using yum install vlc which gave me vlc 0.9.9a Then I compiled vlc 1.1.2 and replaced the files in /usr/bin/ with the compiled files. Followed these posts for compiling: USE ...

Nevermind, I fixed it by using yum install vlc which gave me vlc 0.9.9a

It's the VLC x264 plugin that's missing. Not x264 as such.

I don't suppose you would know how to get the x264 plugin for VLC on Centos 5?

Use vcodec=x264 I tried: vlc file.mkv --sout-keep --sout="#transcode{vcodec=x264,soverlay}:std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:8080}" And I'm getting: [00000410] avcodec encoder error: cannot open encoder [00000394] stream_out_transcode stream out error: cannot find video encoder (module:any four...

I'm streaming an mkv file on Centos 5. I tried streaming with vlc file2.mkv --sout-keep --sout="#transcode{soverlay}:std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:8080}" But there's no subtitles showing up. Also when I try transcoding as so vlc file2.mkv --sout-keep --sout="#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=80...

Also if I stream any size of an MKV and try transcoding the audio and setting a vb, channels, or samplerate parameter, I lose the audio. However if I just put only acodec but not other audio encoder parameter, the audio doesn't get lost on smaller MKV files.

avcodec error: could not write header I got the same error when I try streaming large MKVs, here's my config: "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "video.mkv" -vv --extraintf logger --sout-mux-caching=5000 --sout "#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=alac,vb=2400,vfilter=...

So I'm streaming and transcoding an mkv. I tried using this but there's no audio: "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "test.mkv" -vv --extraintf logger --sout-mux-caching=10000 --sout="#gather:transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=2400,vfilter=canvas{width=540,height=380},acode...
