The VideoLAN Forums

there seems to be an option for logging under the advanced settings but I can't get it to work. I've read other people having a similar problem. Maybe this will give you a better mystery to solve.
It might be relevant that I'm using windows7 (which is notorious for write access issues)

When I stream an AAC source, it shows the artists and song titles in the status-bar. is there any way on windows that I can configure some parameters to dump the 'now playing' info of every song from a stream into a text file? All I want to log is the names and artists of each new song that plays. T...

I had no idea you could use sout in vlc_args. I really wish I'd known that 3 weeks ago, or that someone had mentioned it earlier. It's perfect and does exactly what I want. Now just by adding: "--sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100,mux=mp3}:http{dst=:8090/file.mp3}&quo...

I already have one of those laying around but getting it, or any other sequence, to stream is the trick

any idea how I would solve the problem then?
(the problem being: how to stream files in a sequence)

is there a way to get a direct pointer to the libvlc_media_player_t inside of vlm? Or, how would you stream one media file right after another? example: libvlc_vlm_add_broadcast(...,FirstFile,...); libvlc_vlm_add_broadcast(...,SecondFile,...); // now play these two files in a row but don't kill the ...

The Solution: It is perfectly possible to stream both regular and pls files with a fairly simple program. Here's what came out in a later thread. I had no idea you could use sout in vlc_args. I really wish I'd known that 3 weeks ago, or that someone had mentioned it earlier. It's perfect and does ex...

Is there another way?
VLC itself seems to have this ability so I assumed there must be some solution.

Do you happen to know if the add broadcast works with stream URLs as well as files? If so, I could just build my own pls parser.

I found libvlc_vlm_add_broadcast for streaming files over network but how would you stream a .pls file?
In the past, I've used the playlist player to play them locally.
I've done some digging in the docs and can't seem to find a way to patch it together.
