The VideoLAN Forums

Maybe I should have placed this in the "Serving Stream" topic. I'll try again here and hope someone can help me.

I have tried to change the string below to not show the duplicate VLC window on my screen when I'm streaming a video to them. Can someone change the string below to stop the A\V window on my screen but allow the students to get the video on their old 2004 laptops. ( Not that it makes a difference bu...

Solved - On the wired network (name = class) this worked for 5 different videos at the same time 224.0.0.1, 224.0.0.2, etc 3 4 5. But when hybrid wireless with a belkin Nas that had to have a different network name = workgroup, then only 224.0.0.1 worked both on a wireless and wired laptops. If I ch...

I’m a 5th grade teacher that bought 35 used laptops for each of my students seven years ago. I have been using VLC to stream up to 4 mp4s at one time. Since I added a couple of wireless laptops, they can only receive if set to multicast 224.0.0.1 (the one is important for video 1.) But if I change i...

I'm a teacher that bought 33 laptops for my 5th grade students (used - all I could afford.) I need to use the 8.6i version that is on my teacher's computer with the same version on the student's laptops. I would like to multicast my screen as well as use my microphone (possibly the audio output from...

I'm a 5th grade teacher that entered this message 4+ years ago and I'm still interested in any help. I would like to control VLC from within the student's excel program so only the program would determine the start and end times as well as the student couldn't close VLC until the Excel program wante...

Thank you, I will try those things - you have been very helpful

Thannoy, thank you so much for helping this classroom project. I would like not to use Java on the student's computers. Any ideas on the following: If the ADDTARGET, which is suppose to accept most of the command line arguments , doesn’t work with Start and Stop then what about using the following a...

I'm a 5th grade teacher that is trying to get my VBnet 2005 program for my students to start and end a video at certain times. If I use a desktop shortcut this will work but what do I have to do using ActiveX to accomplish the same thing? "F:\Vlc\Vlc.exe" "F:\TQD\StreamMM\LangArts\Bas...

I have been googling for 3 hours and have tried over 15 blogs but nothing worked. I have three computers, two= W2000 and a new xp install, all = 2003 excel, all launch a *.mp4 file with a click in explorer. But all three give me the same "no program is registered to open this file from a hyperl...

I have so many settings already in that I don't want to "Reset All" under Preferences. Do you know where in that list that I can set it back to 0 or 1 instead of 22 seconds. By the way, it was never set to 22 seconds in the preferences but only in desktop shortcuts. Is there a VLC ini file...

As a teacher, I use VLC a lot by starting and stopping at pre-determine times to show only part of a movie using the --start-time xx etc. But somhow in a VLC ini file or in the registry, it now has a set start time of 22 secs for any file that does not have --start-time x in the shortcut. Does anyon...

I need an interface that does not have a menu including a right mouse menu so my 5th grade students can't change anything or get into the file system. My program launches VLC with the movies that I want them so see so there is no need for them to find a movie on there own or play with the menus. THe...

Thank you

I have tried 8.6 d e f I and I have had on/off problems to get them to stream to my older classroom computers - It seems like 8.5 works as the streaming one - The others work on the client. If it start with 8.5 and then I leave VLC open on the client, then 8.6i works but if I close it on the client ...

Thank you. That DVDsimple worked. Thanks again - It's guys like you that make this forum nice.

I'm using the same 8.6e and it worked too on a different MP3. The original MP3 worked without the start and stop so I assumed it was OK but it didn't work with start and stop - go figure. Thanks for your help.

I haven't tried those but the site seems to discourage it for non-developers. I'm sure someone out there has tried to start and stop the time on a Mp3. Can anyone help? thanks

I'm a teacher and want to use VLC to give out spelling tests. I would like to record a long 20 word spelling test and then be able to launch individual words by using Stat and Stop parameters. I tried --start-time 30 but I get an error. It seems to work if I'm streaming but not just with c:\vlc\vlc ...

I'm a teacher that have 5th grade students on laptops that I bought for them in school. They use excel 2000 and have a math program that I made for them. I use VLC on there laptops to show tutorials and now I want to show them in a "box" in the lower right corner of Excel. Is there a way t...

Thanks for answering. I wonder why they show --Mono if it can't be used on a shortcut target line. Am I entering it right, or does it need some other word in front of it, like --audio-mono?? thanks for your help

I'm a 5th grade teacher that needs to save space so I use mono in mp4s. It works great if the studends click the right mouse and choose "Mono" off the Audio device menu but I don't like to send them there because they will play around. So I need a way to have VLC start in Mono mode vs. Ste...

Thanks for helping my classroon. I'm not at the classroom now, so I will try the dvdsimple://E there (I'm assuming the E is the drvie letter. When I try to move the slider more than a little, it hangs VLC. However, if I use Nero Showtime - no problem so I think it is something in VLC that can't move...

Hope you can help me and my classroom. I'm a fifth grade teacher that has been using VLC to stream (bought 32 laptops out of my own moeny - used - all I could afford to bring my students into the 21st century) mp4 files across my peer to peer network. Here are some questions that I hope someone can ...

That's a good idea. Thanks for your help. It really worked.
