The VideoLAN Forums

I got youtube.lua from GitHub @ https://github.com/videolan/vlc/blob/master/share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua and I think it's a recent revision. I don't know LUA or enough VLC internals so I decided to try to solve this problem another way. I found that information about the available streams at diffe...

When I play with VLC the 256x144 stream is also used. However when I play from the YouTube site the 640x360 stream is used. For my current purposes, that's the one I actually want.

I have used information from the forum to write a C++ app that displays live YouTube streams. For every live YouTube URL I've tried to use, I always receive 256x144 video but I know other resolutions are available. Here is output from youtube-dl that shows 6 available resolutions for the popular NAS...

I wrote an app that accesses YouTube live streams by using the most accepted method discussed in this forum. Here is an excerpt. libvlc_media_parse(web_media); libvlc_media_list_t *list = libvlc_media_subitems(web_media); libvlc_media_list_lock(list); libvlc_media_t *video_media = libvlc_media_list_...

I have been working on what appears to be the same problem but at the level of a custom app that uses libvlc. I got the same TS duplicate messages from libdvbpsi. For my code, setting --no-ts-trust-pcr as an argv parameter for libvlc_new() solved the problem. From your description I think you are in...

I have found what so far seems to be a working solution. To set "Trust in-stream PCR" to off, use --no-ts-trust-pcr as an argv[] value when invoking libvlc_new().

Several posts in other forums claim that his bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/vlc/+bug/1503998/+activity can be mitigated in the player GUI by setting MPEG-TS preferences "Trust in-stream PCR" to off and "Seek on the basis of percent not time" to on. How can the equivalent be done ...

I found this old thread because I had the same problem. FWIW and at least with 2.2.6, just use the host file path, not the URL form.

Pressing the red record button on the Windows player captures the un-encoded stream in a file in the user's Videos directory. We just started using the VLC library and I would like to do something similar. We analyze video so I need the decoded video but when "interesting" things occur I w...
