The VideoLAN Forums

Hello All, It seems that VOD using real-time stream as source allows only one RTSP client at a time. I launched 4 VLC instances to make the test: VLC1 is used to push the stream to IP address 10.10.30.20@5004 VLC2 on 10.10.30.20 is used with VLM configurator (that under "tools" menu) as VO...

Finally, I succeeded in compiling the version 2.0.3 with windows installator, after failed with 2.0.1, 2.0.2, and 2.1.0 git. This is the only version worked with the setup I have. With 2.0.1 and 2.0.2. The compilation process goes until the end. I needed to manually patch the qt4 contrib package and...

I have finally successfully built the VLC win32 package with the following command: make package-win32 But after installing this on a win7 32bit machine, launching the VLC is OK. But it automatically closed (as if it crashes) when tried to open any type of media. *EDIT* I noticed that respect to the...

Copy contrib/src/qt4 directory from latest vlc-2.0.git or vlc-2.0.2. Thank you again. I'll try that later. I was up to make an update on the progress: I found this link: http://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi/vlc.git/?a=commit;h=cd0148a5a1d5e5875f525c04225add1975a9dd78 After patching the qt4 folder man...

Hello nkoriyama and ewong, Many thanks for this post. I followed the steps in this thread to compile the VLC 2.0.1 for windows. *almost* all problems I encountered during compilation are identical. I still have the problem with the qt4 library from the contribute. I performed a make .qt4 as nkoriyam...

because you did not do the contribs part correctly.

Thank you. But the compiler installation comes before the installation of contribs.

You skipped buils steps, build failed. No surprises. Thank you. I want to add that I did the contrib prebuilt steps exactly as the wiki documents, no error in those steps. You mean I skipped the "mingw32-binutils" ? Actually if I did sudo apt-get install gcc-mingw32 mingw32-binutils toget...

I am using newly installed Ubuntu-12.04.1 installed in the VMPlayer. I followed the steps described in this page: http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile I installed the gcc-mingw32 with apt-get install gcc-mingw32 but without mingw32-binutils since the later one complains that the gcc w64 tools need ...

I am using 2.0.1. I followed the instructions found on this page to stream using UDP: http://e-muzz.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-to-stream-vlc-118-windows.html I selected the file (wmv), selected the transcoding (WMV + WMA), selected the UDP (legacy) , putting 127.0.0.1 and 1234 as port. If I do not sel...

Thank you again Rémi.

In this case, could it be a solution to add transcode the to incoming RTSP stream (x.264 format) to maintain the original throughput?

I have encountered a problem when using the VLC to stream from an RTSP server to a remote computer using RTP MPEG transport stream. I am using VLC 2.0.1 I selected the source as "rtsp://192.168.55.100/av0" Then I selected the new destination as "RTP / MPEG Transport Stream", conf...

I believe that it is related to the compiler environment. The project was a Qt DLL, after being re-compiled as an application, starts to work. I am still wondering if anybody knows the available options for libvlc_new , and libvlc_vlm_add_broadcast . May I put any of the listed described in this pag...

Hello Everyone, Back from another project after almost 3 weeks, I found that there is a new version of VLC available. So downloaded and installed, discovered quite exciting new features. However when using the new libvlc.dll and libvlccore.dll with the old code (written for 1.x.x), problems come. To...

Hello Jean,

Thank you for your prompt. Would you let me know how to save the log with libvlc ?

Suppose that all your vlc header is inside a folder "C:\projects\VLC", copy the vlc.h to the upper level folder, i.e: "C:\projects", then in your project include that vlc.h.

You may paste the errors you get if you still experience problems.

Hello Everyone, I am using the libvlc for a surveillance application. The init code and options I used is as follows (I am using Qt): const char * const vlcargs[] = { "--plugin-path=C:\VideoLan\VLC", "--sout-udp-caching=0", "--udp-caching=0", "--rtsp-caching=0"...

Hello everyone, If I use the VLC as a RTSP stream server on a computer where both LAN and Wifi are activated (two IP), on which one will the VLC setup the RTSP ? I.e: If I want to visit the RTSP service from another computer, how do I know which IP should I use ? And, Is there a way to specify it ou...

Good Day! Does anybody know that is the format of parameter "ppsz_options" in function libvlc_vlm_add_vod ? I have set up like this: const char * const vlm_args[] = { "--no-sout-rtp-sap", "--no-sout-standard-sap", "--ttl=1", "--rtsp-session-timeout=-1&quo...

Thanks again for the quick support! It is important for us to know if there is any client connecting to the RTSP service. Since if no client is viewing the publishing point, the server program has to tell the live stream source (web camera) to stop the RTP stream pushing, which is using 3G network. ...

Thank you Sébastien. I tried to stream with broadcast, indeed this problem does not show up. However this brings another problem: My program has to be aware if there is client currently connected to the RTSP service. When using VOD to stream, my program receives the "events" like "lib...

I see another issue around VOD: After calling to the function "libvlc_vlm_add_vod" with b_enabled==true in thread A, the call to the functions including "libvlc_vlm_del_media", "libvlc_vlm_release", "libvlc_release" from other thread will block and freeze unco...

With UDP, you can't detect a missing receiver. In some cases, you can get a clue from the ICMP errors. But this is unreliable. Thus VLC ignores ICMP errors to protect against trivial DoS. You really should use RTSP or HTTP if you want to stop sending when the receiver dies. Thank you very much Rémi...

Hello Everyone, I am not sure if here is the position to post this question: I am using the libvlc to "push" a stream using RTP to another computer. RTP, being a UDP based protocol, does not have a "connection". So even I push the stream to an invalid IP/port, the function return...

Hello Everyone, I want to embed the libvlc into my VC++6.0 program to make it a simple RTSP server. The stream is "pushed" from another computer using RTP (also by VLC player), then the program publish the stream using RTSP. The code is: void test () { const char * const vlc_args[] = { &qu...
