Hi, I would like to use VLC with DVB-S card(s) which are supported by experimental multiproto driver. Standard ubuntu VLC seems not to be able to use new multiproto API, so I tried my own minimalistic build (without ffmpeg,... just base + dvb), with this patch http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-...

Hello,
I have Ubuntu 7.04 and VLC from the repository and hotkeys work.

Hello, admin: please remove the spam above. You can easily use http interface. Create BROADCAST element (eg BBC1) and create 2 time points (start time and stop time). Associate an action PLAY "your broadcast element" with the start time point and STOP "your.." with the stop time ...

Hello,
streaming feature is independent of number of CPU bits. There should be another problem.
Albert

Hello,
you have to have loaded modules for your dvb card (according to the kernel version it could differ).
Try to use google first (e.g. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-60549.html), make your cards working and then move forward to VLC streaming.
Albert

Hello,
use VLC and please read the documentation.
(you use very old and very deprecated VLS version /last is v0.5.6/, you have to tune your vls.cfg, VLS works in linux too;-)
Albert

Hello,
sure, it it possible. Please read the documentation.
Albert

Hello, VLC is able to do the same as VLS. I guess there could be a problem with the setting of transcoding. VLS streams the file "more simple way" (I guess) and with VLC you use "possibly problematic" transcoding feature. Try to find a problem, try to use all possible transcoding...

Hello, VLS is old and deprecated. Please do not use it instead you know what are you doing. And you don't know! You can concurrently stream (multicast) with VLC. Please read the documentation. If you subsequently counclude that you really nead VLS, you have to download the latest released version (0...

Hello,
read the documentation - there are several options how to control VLC remotely - e.g. http intf + VLM.....
Albert

Hello,
try to search this forum There are answers to your questions.
Albert

Hello,
I guess this is not appropriate section for your question. Before you try "VLC for Windows" section, read videolan wiki and search this forum for the answer.
Albert

Hello, I suppose I have the same problem (but I didn't do any extensive research). Kubuntu 6.10 + VLC 0.8.6 - udp multicast streaming - VLM or directly by vlc command. VLC is streaming till there is free memory and crashes. Maybe this is known bug (and maybe already solved), I am going to try vlc ni...

Hello,
use svn version of these files of apply patches:

Albert

Hello,
you were quicker I found the same solution yesterday.
Albert

Hello,
I use both. VLS is used in old server since ... and I am lazy to change it (but I will). And I try to "play" with VLS because there are many things to learn about and it is not so complex as VLC.
Albert

Hello, for those who still need to use VLS - svn version i compilable under Kubuntu 6.10 gcc version 4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-13ubuntu5) already installed: automake1.9 libtool (1.5.22) libdvbpsi4 libdvbpsi3 libdvbpsi3-dev ./bootstrap and ./configure --enable-dvb --disable-dvd --with...

Hello,
so I tried it and if you "repair" all that files, you can compile it. I did it with Kubuntu gcc-4.1

gcc version 4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-13ubuntu5)

But I don't know why there is this error...
Albert[/code]

Hello, if you have no special reason, use vlc instead of vls. The error is a new line character in dpp file. You have to change it like this: application.dpp src/core/application.o dep/core/application.d : src/core/application.cpp src/core/defs.h \ src/core/../extras/getopt.h src/core/common.h src/c...

Hello, I needed to use VLC + lirc + rc interface commad (goto X), because I needed to press a button 5 and jump into position 5 in my playlist :-) I use irexec + netcat to control VLC with IR remote the idea: vlc -I rc --rc-host localhost:12345 /home/ondra/playlist.m3u and cat play1.sh #!/bin/bash e...

Hello, thank you, that was the reason. So I would like to try --rc-unix socket, but I don't know how (?) I am able to create and use standard socket socket -s 12345 socket localhost 12345 but I don't know how to force VLC to use (or create) socket....e.g. vlc -I rc --rc-unix localhost:12345 VLC medi...

Hello, I have a problem with CPU usage under Kubunku 6.10. VLC 0.8.6 run as wxvlc playing a movie uses aprox 10 % CPU, but when I try to use rc (extra) intf (run from Desktop icon) wxvlc --quiet --rc-fake-tty --extraintf rc --rc-host localhost:12345 /home/Albert/playlist.m3u it uses 100 % CPU :-( An...

Hello,
my fault. VLC didn't see lirc even after reboot, but day after there is no problem and lirc module is loaded (?)
Albert

Hello, I would like to ask developers for the same feature: My idea: vlc receives lirc command, decodes the command (e.g. key-next) lirc.c else if( !strcmp( c, "NEXT" ) ) { p_playlist = vlc_object_find( p_intf, VLC_OBJECT_PLAYLIST, FIND_ANYWHERE ); if( p_playlist ) { playlist_Next( p_playl...

Hello, I have also problem with lirc - Kubuntu 6.10 VLC media player 0.8.6 Janus [00000001] main vlc debug: CPU has capabilities 486 586 MMX MMXEXT SSE SSE2 FPU [00000001] main vlc debug: looking for memcpy module: 1 candidate [00000001] main vlc debug: using memcpy module "memcpy" [000002...
