The VideoLAN Forums

I am a VLC/Streaming noobi too, but I will share with you what I have learned because there's not much help, lately, from this forum. Though some past posts and some of the tutorials have good information. My environment is also Ubuntu, so much of what I present below will apply to your needs. You n...

When trying to stream MP4 I'm using this command line: cvlc v4l2:///dev/video0 :input-slave=alsa:// :v4l2-input=1 :v4l2-caching=300 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mp3,vb=200,scale=1,deinterlace,fps=25,samplerate=44100,ab=32}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ffmpeg{mux=mp4},dst=:1234/camera.m...

I'm also having a 4/5 second delay. I'm streaming from a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1150 card. The client and server are on same LAN. Here's my command line: cvlc v4l2:///dev/video0 :input-slave=alsa:// :v4l2-input=1 --mms-caching 0 --sout "#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,fps=5,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=wma2,ab=12...

Thanks very much Greg! The "more options" was the key. Here's the minimum command line that works for me: cvlc v4l2:///dev/video0 :input-slave=alsa:// :v4l2-input=1 --sout "#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=wma2,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{mux=asf,dst=:1234/}&q...

I can get the GUI to stream my camera output but when I configure a command line using the properties from the GUI the streaming doesn't work. I think the problem is I'm not specifying the composite 1 input correctly. I am using --v4l2-input="1", but I couldn't find any examples showing ho...

The OP again. I found how to grab the parameters from the GUI so I have rewritten the command line using those params. Still not streaming though. The errors in the log "stream_out_transcode debug: late picture skipped" may be the root of the problem? Googling around someone said to add --...

I'm the OP. I cleaned up the command line a bit by removing the unnecessary dvb stuff (something I found in another thread) and adding --sout-mux-caching=10000. Still not streaming, but this simpler command line should be easier to read. Thanks, --Bob cvlc v4l2:///dev/video0 --v4l2-input 1 -vvv --fi...

Using the command line below I am trying to stream from my video capture card but the streaming doesn't happen. I can get it to stream if I configure streaming using the GUI. I don't see any errors in the log below, so I can't figure out what's wrong. The "late picture skipped" is a proble...

thanks

It should be obvious, but DirectShow options only work with the DirectShow plug-in which only exists on Windows. OK, so maybe a better question is how do you set the input channel for a Linux environment. If you feel the need to be rude, understanding of course your superior European heritage, then...

I am trying to set the video input source that my DVR card uses, it's the composite channel and the value is 1, but vlc is giving an error when I try the following command: vlc v4l2:///dev/video0 --server-port 1234 --dshow-video-input 1 The error is: VLC media player 1.1.4 The Luggage (revision expo...
