Ok, perhaps I can try to rephrase it this way.. Is there any reason for vlc while transcoding and duplicating a rtmp stream to rtp and to file, to stop writing to the file for 5 mins even if the stream is going on. Is looking at the file timestamp a reliable way of figuring out the stream is actuall...

Hi, We are running a setup where vlc is being used to transcode rtmp urls serving live content to mp3 files and also publishing to a sdp file (which is then picked up by Wowza). Usually the rtmp url would redirect to some music after the live content was over and because of this we found that someti...

I was wondering if there was a way to use vlc to split a mp3 audio file based on detecting human voice. I have a bunch of conference call mp3s with background music in the beginning and silence at the end. I saw that speex has something called voice activity detection.. but the option for vlc seems ...

That was the correct url.
Later on I used wget to download the .mov which was a short binary file with a rtsp link.
I guess it is the equivalent of windows asx, not sure why vlc gave me 404.

I was trying to play the quicktime live stream for Apples earnings call today The url seen in the movie inspector in quicktime is http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/october/earnings/earnings_11/earnings_live_58382.mov However on trying to play, vlc gives the below error. I am using vlc 1.2 nightly b...

You are right, I tried the nightly 1.2 build and this problem does not occur. I have attached valgrind trace for the 1.12 build in any case. ==10687== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==10687== Copyright (C) 2002-2010, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==10687== Using Valgrind-3.6.1 and LibVEX...

I was piping rtmpdump to vlc for transcoding. If the format is flv and codec is mp4a, vlc crashes with a glibc corruption error. This happens if you use vlc directly on the rtmp url as well. Here is the output Starting download at: -0.001 kB INFO: Metadata: INFO: duration 2620.08 INFO: moovPosition ...

I have the same exact problem with vlc and live rtmp streams. I am using a rtmpdump pipe to vlc to transcode a live stream. In some cases, vlc takes a very long time till it starts , about 450 seconds into the live stream. In other cases, it starts fairly quickly about 12s into the stream. On lookin...
