Yeah I think this is more of a Java problem than a problem with what I'm doing in VLC... None of what I'm outputting from my Java app is getting a response from VLC even though I can still type in input manually that works while it's running. Anyways I am using the rc interface, I'll just be adding ...

I'm developing an app in Java that requires some simple interaction with VLC Media Player. I want to have VLC run hidden in the background which is why I chose the ncurses interface. While it's running, it's streaming a Youtube video and saving its output as an OGG file with it closing when it's don...

It is listed in the terminal as an available option fo...

But he says that anything we can get playing on iTunes we can play on our Apple TV. Having said that, I want to be able to stream my screen, and have a specific URL that I c...

Any ideas guys?

Hi I was wondering, if I wanted to play something on my TV with VLC, through Apple TV and iTunes, how would I set up the stream? I can already stream media to a file and save, that's easy for me.
