I am also having a similar issue transcoding into FLV1

In 2.0.2 and 2.0.1 I get the stream_out_transcode debug: late picture skipped (113844) messages.

In 2.0.0 I get this error:
Streaming / Transcoding failed:
VLC could not open the encoder.

In 1.1.11 it works fine.

Same results with 2.0.2.

OK, are there any other logging or error messages that I can receive?

I can't figure out how to get logging/error messages using libvlc 2.0.1. I am only interested in getting standard error messages. For instance, in vlc if input can't be opened, you'll get the error message: Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://10.0.0.195:80'. Check the l...

The previous comments don't prove that there was a working environment variable, but that their fix was using a correct mrl. I've tried, with several path locations, with several different path attempts: putenv("VLC_PLUGIN_PATH=C:\\Program Files\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\plugins"); I've also tried u...

Setting the VLC_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable doesn't seem to be working. libvlc_new always returns null unless I put the plugins directory in the directory with the executable, no matter how I try to set the Environment variable. I am using 2.0.1, I tried 2.1 and the same thing happened, I got t...
