How about in command line? --play-and-exit does not work

Is there any way to make VLC quit if there is no more input? By default the app is still running with "Nothing to play" response.

Can VLC stream to RTMP? I use: ./vlc -vvv http://localhost:50480 --sout '#transcode{venc=x264{preset=ultrafast},vcodec=h264,vb=1500,acodec=aac,ab=12 8,samplerate=48000}:standard{access=rtmp,mux=ffmpeg(mux=flv),dst=rtmp://localhost:1935/myapp/lahme}' ffmpeg and ngix works well, cant get VLC to stream...

Is there a way for VLC to resume transcoding after input come back online? As an example, during bad weather the input would drop and VLM/VLC would stop. Is there a way for VLC to resume transcoding once sources are back?

Can't seem to get mp4a/aac working in 2.2.0. Here is my command ./vlc -vvv http://192.168.1.50:6002 --sout-avcodec-strict=-2 --sout '#transcode{venc=x264{preset=ultrafast},vcodec=h264,vb=1800,acodec=aac,ab=128,samplerate=48000}:standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.50:9001}' Tried with: ffmpeg s...

I have to check why VLM is crashing but in the mean time would be interested to know how one could possibly execute multiple transcoding commands from 1 terminal window? This works fine by issuing 1 command per separate terminal window in Linux.

No go Stops at the same error [0x20d3038] [cli] lua interface error: Error loading script /usr/local/lib/vlc/lua/intf/cli.luac: /usr/local/lib/vlc/lua/intf/cli.luac: bad header in precompiled chunk /usr/local/bin# ls root@streamer-Eu1:/usr/local/bin# ls -l /usr/bin/luac* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Ja...

rezils, how did you fix it? I have the same issue in 64 bit ubuntu

This seems to be working by issuing commands in different terminals which is hard to manage. Any ideas on how to make with work on VLM?

VLM works flawless with mumudvb but I am having issues with transcoding from tvheadend Currently the channel is configured as http://192.168.1.55/playlist/channelid/1 When I transcode from the command line with the following ./vlc -vvv http://192.168.1.55:9981/playlist/channelid/1 --sout '#transcode...

Oddly, when I reboot the system the command works and I can stream with no issues but it enables RF input by default. Once I execute v4l2-ctl -i 2 command to change input to composite, I get the above output and nothing seems to be playing.

I've managed to stream /dev/video0 but only from the PC where card is installed, the following command does not work if executed from another PC remotely via SSH.

On the PC where input card is, ./vlc dev/dvb0 opens up the VLC GUI and once I press PLAY i can see the input. Now I cant seem to get this same result from remote pc connected with SSH. ./vlc /dev/video0 brings me to vlc command line and VLC gui never launches. I am trying to stream /dev/video0 to ht...

Not sure whats wrong, loaded all required drivers, changed input via v4l2-ctl -i 2(composite) but i cant seem to get VLC to play anything off the card. When I open the wizard it recognizes /dev/video0, i pick NTSC and leave frequency empty. VLC loads v4l2:///dev/video0, time starts to count but vide...

This functionality is available through vlc HTTP and VLM

I have 3 channels to be transcoded simultaneously from http to http and transcode to H.264. Is there a recommended way to do this or do I just create a batch script to execute 3 lines that in turn will run 3 instances of VLC?

on My PC (MacOS) a 1.1Mbit/s DVBS to h.264 stream needs about 70 to 100% of one core of a 2.4Ghz CPU, E5620@2.4.ghz. How many channels to you want to stream ? 4 or 16 ? 16 It seems like some serious horsepower is required to handle a dozen of channels if one core of 2.4Ghz CPU can only do 1 channel...

Noone knows. It depends on too many parameters to answer.

Fair enough, let me turn the question around a bit:

How much CPU usage is required to transcode mpeg2 to H.264 on newest I7 Intel Quad Core PC?

Here is my set up: KU DVB-S feed > 4 x TBS Quad Tuners > Linux Box > WAN(Fiber)

Linux box will be transcoding the stream to H.264 from MPEG1/2 via VLC or FFmpeg How good would the Linux box need to be in order to handle this setup for multiple channels?

Have an old linux box and I stream out the channels via mumudvb but the channel quality is very sloppy. I tried different head-end apps but all produce the same picture quality when stream is viewed in vlc. Is it the tuner or video card or both in combination that causes the degradation of picture q...

Hello, I cant seem to get DVBLast to lock onto a TP. I think the reason is that I can not tell it to use 10750 Mhz LNB.

I've done some reading and I do understand what it is but what I do not understand is how it is used in streaming world and what is the advantage or disadvantage over unicast. I was hoping someone can shed some light. So I tried understanding multicast concept in a very simple iptv set up: e.g 1. He...
