Hi,

I had difficulties to make libvlc_video_set_crop_geometry works well.
I finally succeed using the following parameters :
"rigthxbottom+left+top"

Thank you. Can you be a little more explicit ?

Hi, I tried the 2.1.0 (git 2012-02-29) .
It works for any integer value but you have to stop and restart the video to see it.
Is it possible to make the change without restarting the video ?
My obective is to adapt the video to the window aspect ratio in real time with libvlc.

It seems i was on another planet !
There is a function for this...
libvlc_video_set_aspect_ratio

in fact the real question is :
Is there a function to change aspect ratio ?
I did not find one in the doxygen doc

Basically, what i need is to fit a 16:9 video in a 4:3 element (hwnd) so there is no stripes over and under the video.
The 4:3 element is full of the video. I don't care if the video is not homothetic.

Any idea ?

Hi,

Is there a way to distort a video ?
I mean i want my video take the full space of my hwnd even if the aspect ratio is not repected (the video will be deformed).

I am not sure i understand but here is what you can do :
On your server create a vlc instance to get the stream from your cameras and restream it through http for example. The client connects to the server not to the camera. So the bandwidth from the camera to the server will always be the same.

VLC is installed and working.
I tried with other libs (other apps) and i get nothing.
I must have a problem in my config.
Thank you anyway

Thank you for your quick reply
It returns nothing for me (centos 6)
[root@centos6vm /]# pkg-config --variable=libdir libvlc
[root@centos6vm /]#

Hi,

With the windows flavor, we can find the path to libvlc.dll thanks to the registry.
Is there something similar in linux to find the path of libvlc automatically ?

Hi ! I'm transcoding a stream to a file with libvlc. I'm monitoring the playing event to know when the file start to really recording the stream. When i'm transcoding to h264 (h264/mp4a/mp4), there is a variable delay between the event fire and the real recording of the file. It may be up to 20-30 s...

Sorry, my fault, i didn't see it.
I will look at this again and better
Thank you.

With events i can't distinguish which media i am looking at. I added several broadcast streams to a vlc instance (with libvlc_vlm_add_broadcast) If i want to know if, for example, the second stream is playing, i don't know how to do because the event manager is for one instance (libvlc_VlmMediaInsta...

For information :
I'm finally using the libvlc_vlm_get_media_instance_time function.
If the time is > 0, i consider that my stream is really playing.

Thank you

Thank you.
Is there a tutorial or a quick help on how to use it ?

Hi,

I'm using libvlc_vlm_play_media to stream live cameras.
I need to know if the stream is playing or not (if an error occurs for example).
How can i do this ? Which function do i have to use ?

I was using the 1.2 nighty build of april 2010 !
I tried with the last 1.2 nighty build of april 2011 and it works well.

Sorry for the noise.

No. But most likely it will happen in summer, like 1.0 and 1.1 releases.

Thank you

Thank you but even if i tried to connect to port 4212 i cannot connect.

Do you already have a date in mind about the release date of vlc 1.2 final ?

Hi, Because of a rtsp problem ( http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=89543 ), i have to use the 1.2 build of VLC. Is there a change in the way to start a telnet interface in 1.2 or a bug ? Before (with 1.1.8 ) i did like this : vlc -I telnet --telnet-port 4100 --telnet-password lalaru ...

I tried the last nighty build by the date, i didn't see there was the 1.2 trunk.
It works with 1.2.

Thank you very much, you were very quick !

Thank you, here is what i get with rxvt : [00731428] main libvlc debug: VLC media player - 1.1.9-git The Luggage [00731428] main libvlc debug: Copyright © 1996-2011 the VideoLAN team [00731428] main libvlc debug: revision 1.1.8-27-g3f47a0d [00731428] main libvlc debug: configured with ././configure ...

Hi. When i stop a rtsp video stream, the video freeze and i cannot close VLC. I have to kill it. I tried the nightybuild of tonight (06/04/2011) but it is the same as in 1.1.8. (Win 7 x64) here is the debug log : main debug: adding item `rtsp://82.246.69.68:1501/mpeg4/media.amp' ( rtsp://root:test@8...
