Re: Unable to login to trac.videolan.org

Re: Trac account problems

Has anybody got a fix for this please?
I was checking through my passwords looking any entries using an old compromised password and realised my VLC forum and trac passwords were needing to be changed. Changed my forum one OK, but my trac one refuses to either let me log in or reset.

Why a blank user name

Hi, Why, when password protection on the VLC http interface was introduced, was a blank username chosen? This makes it almost impossible to access status.xml from a lot of script code. If an arbitrary username had been chosen (e.g. vlc) or the username was just plain ignored, it would cause a lot le...

Re: Debian / Ubuntu build of npapi plugin 2.0.5- issues with

Thanks for the reply jb.
The 2.0.5 tag you've given in the first link covers the main source, but not the plugin source.
Looking at the second link, you've obviously been working hard on the packaging in 2.0.6. So, is your suggestion to skip 2.0.5 plugin and package 2.0.6?

Debian / Ubuntu build of npapi plugin 2.0.5- issues with GIT

Hi Guys, I am looking at some issues that have come up with NPAPI plugin under Debian and Ubuntu. Basically, the latest Debian plugin was compiled against the source somewhere between 2.0.0 and 2.0.2. This means the plugin currently has many shortcomings e.g. it can't play xspf playlist files. I hav...

Re: Streaming Youtube to a file.

OK, I have fixed this myself. The key here is the creative use of demuxers, without using sout at all: vlc --intf=rc someplaylist.xspf :demux=playlist,luaplaylist,dump :demuxdump-file=output.webm vlc://quit The first demuxer (playlist) reads the xspf. The xspf contains the http://www.youtube.com/wat...

Re: Streaming Youtube to a file.

Update: after further investigation, it becomes clear the format VLC downloads in response to a Youtube URL by default is webm=VP80+ogg vorbis. However I can't find a mux that does not explode in trying to handle this. Typically both webm and ffmpeg{mux=webm} give errors like this: [webm @ 04ca8140]...

Hi, Please help! I am trying to write a simple batch file that will allow me to use VLC to stream a youtube video from a provided playlist to a file with no transcoding. The playlists contain the normal youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch? urls. They playback fine in VLC, but when I attempt to stre...
