I can offer from a few hours of fighting with it, that the most recent pull I could get from subversion, which is supposedly the same as CVS, blows out first when it tries to locate avcodec. You have to do a mod to "v4lreader.cpp" which is to add "ffmpeg" in line 60 as #include ...

Look for the buffer setting in wm9. That may help to chop a little off, but udp straight to a vlc player is usually the better combination.

You should be able to use nearly any player that's configured and able to read the output of whatever type you select to stream. Look on the main website and study the links that show you the kinds of outputs, formats, protocols, etc. In most public forums, bumping or repeating multiple entries of t...

Zorglub,

Are you talking about the zlib-1.2.1 recent build source, make, install?

Or kernel-headers? Because Slackware-current, kernel-devel is at the former 1.1.4, as far as I can tell?

Can you specify "which" files by name?

Mike

Thank you.

Will reply back here with results, shortly.

I've searched everywhere for this problem, which seems to be called from avcodec.a , subfile lcl.o, to no avail. Can someone please get me back on track again? [/b] Linux Slackware 9.1 on a 586 intel The configuration is as follows ffmpeg is configured as... ./configure --enable-mp3lame --enable-pp...

KP -

1)What version ffmpeg?
2)What version vls?

3)Configuration options used for ffmpeg?

4)Configuration options used for vls?

5)Have you tried ffmpeg to verify v4l is working to make a testfile.mpg?

6)What opysys (linux flavor) and v4l hardware are in use?

7)what class computer?

Mike

Edit the file src/modules/v4lreader/v4lreader.cpp and change line 60 from #include <avcodec.h> //for palette to #include <ffmpeg/avcodec.h> //for palette And make sure you have compiled ffmpeg with the ... --enable-shared --enable-gpl ... options Otherwise several headers are not placed in the /usr...

I have beat the poor animal to death, nothing on google, nor search of the board... Setup and problem as follows... hostname = Slackware 9.1 uname -m = i586 uname -r = 2.4.22 Linux is a fresh install, with the following libs/utils for vlc faac (not used) faad2 ffmpeg-cvs-2004-05-30 (and is installe...

OK, now I understand I'm doing this from command line and see how it operates locally. I managed to find I have a bad sector and journel problem showing up on the drive, so I need to remedy that before I go further, or it could be part of the problem. Thanks Sigmund. Once, repaired I will try this a...

Understood. However, on the Slack 9.1 I'm running, I don't use GTK or Gnome. I launch the sequence in an xterm and get and X gives me a GUI for VLC, but I haven't been able to make it play yet. Is GTK or Gnome mandatory, or do I need to just fiddle with the stream local aspect. The stream item shows...

I actually did use vcodec=huffyuv

But for some reason it's kicking it back out

Almost like me pulling all my hair out. HAHAHA

Mike

I also tried setting the acodec parameter to use huffyuv. When the VLC starts, it shows the huffyuv codec being called, but then switches back over to MPEG, automatically, stating it cannot find encoder. The Huffyuv source is present in the ffmpeg libavcodec subdir of ffmpeg and I found no explicite...

Sytem is Linux Slackware 9.1 on 233 586 machine Have installed and running, vlc-0.7.2, but as yet am unable to view streams with VLC win32 client on another node, running 98SE. Depending on stream config, I may get a grey box that represents video, but no data and once I had sound come through, but...

Issue closed, solution was found as follows... Unistalled older last stable version of ffmpeg. Reinstalled newer cvs ffmpeg, in subdir of vlc, make install fully recompiled vlc as ... ./configure --enable-v4l --disable-ogg --disable-vorbis--enable-alsa --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame, make and make install. E...

Thank you Jd, I'm using VLC, (Doah!) It seems, the error messages is correct when it says "No such file", as libavformat.so, does not appear in /usr/local/lib. Is that because of the explicite tree command I configured it with, pointing it directly to ffmpeg, in home? I'm pretty sure one o...

Thanx. Did exactly that. The compiler barfs if you don't point to the ffmpeg source explicitely. I'm recompiling now, and I see some odd errors flying by, so I'm gonna have to do some debug hunting it seems. Likely should go to the CVS of ffmpeg, cause I'm on the last stable release, wich is nasty. ...

Yeah, missed that three day rev level. Sorry. I'm still trying to get vlc to find libavformat.so. I'm likely beneath your experience with this animal. I posted this one... http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=2756 I set all the switches right, it compiled without whining, but a simple "vls...

Be sure not to disable what you need to use, eh? Depending upon what format you need to produce, you could inadvertantly disable the one you need, if done globally. The individual options you can omit in ffmpeg, may be well improved at the CVS level. I still use the current stock release, but tried...

I'm new to VLC, as of today, myself. But... During some of my searches, I ran accross another topic nearly identical to yours. The advise given was to disable the ogg function in ffmpeg and depending on revision, that may be an option in ./configure, for ffmpeg. Unless you need the ogg method, of c...

I have been trying to do streaming with ffmpeg for some time, but their last stable version, where the server works, is not up to speed with CVS, where the server is broken, still. I installed vlc-0.7.2, onto Linux 2.4, Slackware 9.1 Since ffmpeg was pre-existing but not setup as shared, I went bac...
