The VideoLAN Forums

It has been asked several times in this forum about how to get an actual SDP file out of VLC but I haven't read an answer that gives the steps. I have used SAP successfully but that is not an option when using Darwin (as far as I can tell). Darwin needs an actual SDP file to sit in its 'movies' dire...

VideoLAN v0.8.1 (Win binary install from VideoLAN website) Win2000 SP4 I've been using v0.7.2, then v0.7.3, and then v0.8.0 to pull in a multicast MPEG-2 video-only stream with no problems. I just upgraded to v0.8.1 and I immediately get the following errors and no video. main error: no demux2 modul...

I want to be able to setup VLC to serve a single source stream out to multiple unicast clients dynamically (without prior knowledge of the client IP). I've read in this forum ways to statically send out multiple streams using 'duplicate' on the cmd line but I'd have to know all their IP addresses up...

OS = Win2000Server VLC = v0.7.2 SDP and the built-in httpd work fine on one server but not on others. Any ideas? My process is the same. I start VLC with: vlc hello.mp4 :sout=rtp{dst=239.239.239.1,port=1234,sdp=http://localhost:8080/hello.sdp} and then on the same machine I run IE with the URL: http...

Some further info. We installed v0.7.2 binary on a different WinXP machine and had the same result. It would transcode from MPEG-2 (live stream) to MPEG-4 (TS or MP4) for only a couple minutes and would then quitely shutdown. Any ideas? Is anyone else out there using VideoLAN for MPEG-4 transcoding?

When I tried to run it from the http link (streaming), it played audio and video but froze after 4 seconds. It did not crash. I was still able to click stop and start where it would again freeze after 4 seconds. I downloaded the whole avi file to hard disk and then it ran fine. I'm running v0.7.2 on...

Everything runs fine when simply receiving and playing an MPEG-2 UDP multicast video-only stream (4 Mbps). It will play non-stop all weekend. However, when transcoding to mp4v, vlc will shutdown after 1-4 minutes (inconsistent). The app window and process go away without an error message (that I can...

The DJ - Do you know what GLIBC 2.3.4 provides for VideoLAN that is not in GLIBC 2.3.2 (that comes with RH9)? Thanks.

It appears that all the needed files are present but the 'rpm' can't figure out the dependencies. Therefore, I got it to work very easily by doing the following: - Download and extract the vlc-binary and the redhat9-updates tars. A 'vlc' directory will be created and all their extracted files will g...

After pounding my head on this for the last couple days, I'm smarter but I still can't build the VLC. I need to transcode from an MPEG-2 stream to an MPEG-4 stream so I can't use the VLC RPM. Right? Therefore, I download, configure, make, and install all the requied software (as far as I know) but I...

I have vlc v0.7.1 and I want to transcode from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 (faac & mp4v). I attempted to recompile ffmpeg with libfaac support but afterwards when I ran vlc with: vlc mpeg-2.mpg --sout '#transcode{acodec=aac,ab=32,vcodec=mp4v,vb=128, width=320,height=240}:std{access=file,mux=mp4,url=mpeg-2....

Thanks again. I did the SAP extra interface but the streams I am interested in did not show up. I believe they have restricted access and therefore not 'announced'. Anyway, I finally got it working and since there are probably several more boneheads out there like me, I'll explain what I did. If you...

I tried but am only guessing what the correct URL is. Can you decipher the IP/TV SDP info below and give me an idea what the URL might be. When I'm watching the video in IP/TV, I can select View -> Program Info and then the SDP tab. This is it: v=0 o=- 24475 6 IN IP4 198.116.200.1 s=Independence i=T...

I want to replace our use of Cisco's IP/TV client with VideoLAN client but it's not working. I believe the multicast request to the Cisco IP/TV Server is going through and the video data is flowing since I show nearly 4Mbps of data coming to my client PC. However, the video window doesn't open and t...
