The VideoLAN Forums

The guy at this site claims his software solves this problem. I haven't had time to check it out yet.

I dove into the code thinking "how hard can it be to find where keys come in?". The answer it turns out is "damn hard". It appears that unless you are willing to learn how the entire structure of the code works, you can't work on a small part of it.

I am transcoding mjpeg from an Axis IP camera to divx using VLC. All in all I've got it working pretty well except for one big problem. Sometimes the divx file created will be playable in VLC with a position-control slider and sometimes the control is missing and I cannot position the video. The vid...

I don't really want to work on the playlist stuff since I never use it. I like tivowebplus to list my choices for me and then have the link in the web page launch vlc with the .asx file. Other than that there isn't anything wrong with the latest vstream and ty code. Let me know if anyone wants my bi...

I got it to work! It opens the .asx file from tivowebplus 1.3.1 and the picture looks great and hopping around works. Even HDTV plays for a few seconds after each hop. I think my laptop wifi is too slow for HDTV. Windows media player wouldn't even try to play HDTV. I had to comment out the /plist fe...

VStream uses an old playlist api. A search on these forums for my error messages confirmed this. I am new to the vlc code and if anyone could point me to some description of how the new playlist api replaces the old, I would greatly appreciate it. Maybe some example of a conversion already done or m...

I am trying to get vstream, the TiVo stream player, to compile with the recent 11/15 vlc build. It is using the old playlist api that you mentioned. I am new to the vlc code and could you please point me to come description of how the new playlist api replaces the old? Maybe some example of a conver...

Thanks mucho. I do have a working VLC build going so it shouldn't be too hard.

It would be a great project for a Thanksgiving day where I need to avoid relatives.

I see that tylib.dll now ships with VLC. How is this used with a TIVO? I tried using a tivo://xxx url to my tivo running vstream but it didn't recognize that. Everyone points to the year-old web page for tivo-vlc, but the modules there obviously won't run on any recent VLC. I noticed that page has a...

I discovered the volume keys that do work are being handled by the OS, not VLC. So VLC may not handle HID keys at all. I spent a few hours working on using a message hack. I sort of got it working but it is a pain and would require running extra software in the background. It would have the advantag...

Ouch. I guess I'll do it myself. What do you think would be easier, figuring out how to handle this properly in the VLC code, or writing a global message hook to translate the HID messages into normal keystrokes? Assume I am an experienced windows programmer but have never looked at the VLC code. P....

I am also anxiously awaiting this feature.

Can anyone interpret what this means? Is this good or bad?

I have a Gyration Media Center remote that I want to use with VLC in windows xp. The remote has a number of keys, but only four are picked up as keystrokes by windows. These are the HID keys: VolumeUp VolumeDown Mute MediaPlay I have noticed that VLC already responds to the first three volume-relate...
