Hi, I've been assigned the following task: Serve a VoD stream, have many clients connect to it and while each is playing on its own, have the server pause all streams. I've broken the task down to this: -Set up a VLM instance (telnet interface) and create a new VoD object -Use any MPEG video as inpu...

Hi, I was wondering if this is possible: -Open a VLC session (telnet or normal interface) -Open "screen://" as input -Stream this to a Set Top Box like Amino When you choose "Stream/Save" while using "screen://" as input, what format/codec is used? If a STB needs can on...

I've tried on two computers.. one is running Windows XP and the other is running Windows Server 2003. I've also tried using the following command line: "vlc.exe --intf telnet --telnet-password pass" (in case the "-I" wasn't working) but this caused the same problem... I remember ...

Hi, I just downloaded VLC and tried running it with the telnet interface: "vlc.exe -I telnet --telnet-password pass" and then accessing it using either putty or the Windows telnet command: "telnet localhost 4212" (4212 is the default port) and I get the following output: "Pa...

Hi, I'm using VLC as a network streamer. I've collected some content and have tested streaming but my network is getting way too much traffic. Some videos halt and other network requests (such as http) take a long time or sometimes do not reach their destination. The problem might be network design,...

Hi,

I'm using the telnet interface to schedule a broadcast... unfortunately, playback begins about a minute and a half (maybe a minute and a half exactly) after its scheduled time... is this a known bug?

Hmm.. turns out the message editor isn't WYSIWYG... so much for my ascii art..

Is it possible to embed the vlc browser plugin in such a way that we can position it at the same spot as other html content (i.e. images, text, etc) and have the video displayed as background to the html content? I am testing with a video and an image using CSS absolute positioning. When I try it li...

I've noticed there is a "(no picture)" message displayed in the mozilla plugin just before a video has finished pre-loading. Is there a way to get rid of this message? (just have a black screen until the video shows?)

both top and tload show an increase in memory but it is freed once in a while. The strange thing is that top and tload don't agree on cpu usage. Tload shows 97% usage and top shows 20%. I believe top because if cpu was at 97%, the video would have probably looked choppy. In the end, vlc worked well ...

I am streaming the same video file to 3 destinations on my local network (I've tried using UDP and also RTSP VoD). I'm using mpeg-2 files instead of a capture card, so I thought it would be good for the VLC developers to read this. When I send the same file through 3 different streams, I get 100% cp...

I have a vod stream that I've created in VLC:

new test vod enabled
setup test input "C:\\test.mpg"

then I try "setup test loop" but when I check the object "show test", the loop flag still says "no".

Is it possible to loop Video On Demand streams?

I copied the dvdread folder to /usr/include/ and it stopped complaining. But now it can't find development headers for libfaad. But I'm using the precompiled libraries... how can I tell the compiler to ignore the development headers and use the precompiled libraries?

I get this error when compiling VLC on Cygwin: checking dvdread/dvd_reader.h presence... no checking for dvdread/dvd_reader.h... no configure: error: cannot find libdvdread headers I thought everything needed to compile VLC on cygwin came with the VLC trunk and the precompiled libraries. I've tried ...
