I did not know where to post this question. In case I am in the wrong place, please advise where I should have posted this instead. Moving to my issue...

Thank you Jean, I will surely give these two a try. I hope nginx is able to do HTTP streaming of MPEG2-TS content. I did not find a mention of how to use this as a video on demand server for MP2T content just for MP4. It also mentioned that Netflix uses this server. Are they using this for streaming...

Thank you Remi. What if I am using VLC on a headless server? I have installed the noX version of VLC. I assume this should not look for the X11 server in this case.

Oh I am sorry! I have reposted this question in the Linux category. Will you be able to provide me with a solution there?

I am looking for a nox version for VLC 2.1 an above for uBuntu Server 12.04. Where can I download that from? Also I am planning to use my server as a video on demand streaming machine running strictly over command line. What are the packages that I will need for solve this purpose? Also, can I use V...

Hi, I'm trying to invoke VLC through a PHP file so it can stream out a video to a port that the browser will be listening to. In the PHP file, i have: echo shell_exec("video.sh"); In sh file, i have: #! /bin/sh vlc videofile.ts When i access the PHP file from the browser, this is the messa...

Dear Ludrax: Thank you for the support. I wished to understand how to test CPU performance using different video outputs. I tried playing a .ts file wish had a low bitrate and it was being displayed. Are there any decoding drivers that are missing? Had that been the case VLC should have given me a m...

Since I did not get a reply I tried running the command sudo apt-get install gnutls-bin and it told me that the gnuTLS is already the latest version. So now I am confused about how to get the VLC to accept the certificates permanently. By the way I am getting the following warning / error in my log ...

I am building a web page which allows video on demand for world wide web users. I have understood how to invoke VLC player from command line and linux scripts. But I am unable to invoke the scripts using PHP. It does not give me an error or warning, but does nothing! I have tried linking the folder ...

Thanks Remi for your response. A couple of questions... 1) How do you update GNUTls? 2) Do you really need to recompile VLC in uBuntu or can you simple update and install to the latest nightly build using PPA? Can you please point me to the various links that I can go to so that I can learn how to p...

I have a high end (8 CPU & 8 GB RAM) server installed with uBuntu. When I try to play a .MP4 video I can see that the progress bar in the bottom is moving but I cannot see or hear anything. All I get is a black background. I have manually installed and trusted the certificate within uBuntu. I am...

I got the certificates to work after following the nightly builds link posted above. The stream worked fine but it keeps asking me to accept the certificates even though I selected accept permanently. Does anybody know why this is happening and how to stop asking me to accept certificates every time...

Gentlemen! I am totally confused now!! What am I supposed to do? Which release is Jean talking about? And, what is Ludrax is trying to tell us?? I have tried to go to the nightly builds but I can only see version 2.2.0 there. Also, I took an error log and here is what I got.. - gnutls warning: canno...

BTW: I got the instruction for installing the PPA from http://www.webupd8.org/2013/06/install- ... a-ppa.html

Looking at the June 2013 date, I felt assured that the article is latest.

Dear Jean: According to your suggestion (And feeling like a retard for a while as I did not know what PPA meant), I installed the PPA for VLC on uBuntu by using the following commands in the terminal... 1) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/vlc2 2) sudo apt-get update 3) sudo apt-get install vlc I...

Dear Jean: I wished to run https from VLC in my uBuntu 12 series server OS. I downloaded the latest build 2.0.8 but it is giving me the same problem that I was earlier getting from the windows version. You recommended installing 2.1.0 for Windows but I cannot find that version for uBuntu. Can you pl...

Thank you Jean, for your reply. I downloaded the build from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/vlc-2.1.0-20130815-0202/vlc-2.1.0-rc1-20130815-0202-win32.zip and it worked! One question though...why did VLC remove this feature from its latest 2.2 build? I mean shouldn't it be progressively bet...

I have run into this peculiar problem. I am using the Windows Installation of VLC (Latest build) and I am trying to playback a file from an HTTPS location. The IP address is https://122.160.220.83/bharti/bharti/PREVIEW/sasural.ts Whenever I hit play it gives me an error stating that it cannot playba...

Thank you Jean. I will try that and let you know if it works.

I was wanting to use VLC as a streaming server and wanted to know how to install it on a shared cloud such as Openshift or Amazon. I am not getting any information from anywhere. Can somebody please send me the generic steps that one needs to follow in installing VLC on a cloud instance? Thanks!
