According to wiki instructions I have built a fresh checkout of 0.9.0 in cygwin. Both configure and make ran flawless. As last step I did "make package-win32-base". If I try to start vlc.exe from explorer nothing happens, except that drwatson is shortly running which I can observe in taskm...

Yep, streaming of VLC to Vox works great in inter- and intranet. I'm using a bit higher quality settings (for video). You may wonna try: :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=300,width=320,heig ht=240,fps=15,venc=x264{me=dia,subme=1,analyse=non e,bframes=0,b-adapt=none,chroma-me=none,merange=1},acodec=mp3...

Slightly off-topic, but which codec params do you use for streaming to your Vox?

Is the old http interface still supported in 0.9.0 ?

Ahh, thx bendy.
Another happy Vox user

Is there UPnP server support in a snapshot?

Well, I have tried since the last couple of weeks and I can tell you it doesn't work, unless you changed something in svn in the past 48 hours

I have the feeling the devs underestimate the number of apps which use the http control interface. I'm still hoping for a solution soon.

You can always use WME (windows media encoder) if VLC can't do the trick

I use VLC to stream to Sony PSP. VLC transcodes any content to the PSP screen resolution of 480x272. The displayed picture AR is therefore always 16:9. So that means that 4:3 content is transcoded to 16:9. That is not correct and I would like VLC to automatically transcode to 360x272 when it detects...

I'm sending exactly the same mrl with:
http://vlcserverip:vlcserverport/old/?control=add&mrl=trackname

It works for 0.8.5 but it doesn't work for 0.8.6-svn anymore

try the old style interface: http://ip:8080/old

@DJ: I forgot to mention that I'm streaming h264/mpga from VLC (win32) in a TS container via HTTP/TCP to my Sony PSP which is running a ported ffmpeg ffplay media player. The problem was that ffmpeg's av_find_stream_info() function could annoyingly often not recognize picture width and height from t...

No it isn't. I just build fresh from SVN.
Same problem still there
PS: I'm using "old/?control=add&mrl=..."

Thx DJ. Further to the issue I can say that the problem occurs less often if instead of mp3 I mux mpga audio with the h264 video. But it still occurs

There is another possibility within VLC as I ran across this just a few moments ago. H264 also worked but only if you catch the stream at its beginning. It give the following error otherwise: [00000378] packetizer_h264 packetizer warning: waiting for SPS But it will take a developer to offer an ans...

You're using windows right ?

yes

Deleting section SEC03 and the reference to it did the trick.

For some reason under windows mozilla isn't build, this is what actually causes the problem. But I haven't got a solution for it yet.

Still broken in the 20060711-0000 build.

I can build a fresh svn checkout with no problems. However, a "make package-win32" always quits with the error below. I can do without the mozilla plugin, but don't know what exactly to change/delete in the .nsi file. Can anyone advise? ... ... File: "mozilla" -> no files found. ...

I've compiled a modified x264 library and then also compiled the three h264 vlc plugin dlls. However, after replacing the existing h264 plugins vlc crashes. The error report names the new h264 plugins as the cause.

Is it possible at all to replace plugin dlls?

Yes, deleting the quotes did the trick.

Thanks dionoea, you saved my day

Still having trouble. I tried a few examples in ch3 and always get the error stream_out_standard error: no mux specified or found by extension main warning: no sout stream module matching "std" could be loaded main debug: destroying chain... (name=std) main debug: destroying chain done mai...

Yep, it took a while before I found it. Thanks!

I'd like to transcode a stream to a video-only h264 .avi file or a raw .264 file. I need advise on how to disable the audio transcoding. I have something like below, but I know the syntax is not right: :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=700,width=480,height=272,fps=25,venc=x264,acodec=noaudio}:duplicat...
