Is your PC powerful enough to decode DivX in real time?

You could try setting up your firewall so that it only accepts connections from one specific IP address. Also, are you absolutely positively sure your PC is powerful enough to encode H.265 in real time?

...and have it spit out a new RTSP stream... Suggestion: use FFmpeg with the h-, vstack filters, then use ffserver to stream the encoded content. Note that, depending on codec, number of stacked streams, computer power, and eventual post-processing done, the encoded stream is either too big for you...

Try using to turn on fast seeking, which will cost seeking precision.
Is your problem exclusive to VLC?

It is not a filtering/converting/transcoding framework.

Wrong, VLC also has these abilities.

It definitely does, the point I was attempting to make was that that doesn't appear to be its primary purpose and that I personally find FFmpeg to be better-suited for this purpose. Thanks!

Thanks a lot, is there a way to pass lavfi filters to VLC?

VLC is a media player. It is not a filtering/converting/transcoding framework. Please use FFmpeg for this purpose.

This could be a decoding error. If this is a H.264/5 stream, this may well be the fault of the hardware decoder. In this case, use x264/5.

You can use FFmpeg to decode the video, then pipe to VLC. IIRC, you can also use libavcodec directly.

You can safely choose to break it if you do not wish to decode AV1. It will become inevitable soon though, and you will either need to update/upgrade your package manager's stuff, or compile dav1d from source.

If you're using hardware acceleration, it seems to be either: - vlc seeing hw accel where there isn't any - vlc using hw accel incorrectly if not, your computer is likely too slow, and graphical errors are likely due to the "hurry up" feature, which allows frames to be partially decoded to...

I believe this is something you must configure in your window manager as opposed to VLC.

To my (admittedly limited) knowledge, you wouldn't want to use a video player to extract frames from a video stream. I suggest you use FFmpeg instead: . This may not be the best way to go about this, but it should fit the purpose better.

I highly suggest you use youtube-dl for this purpose. It is unfathomably versatile, supports a mind-blowing variety of sites and, yes, fixes your problem. For example, youtube-dl --format 'best[height<=360]/worst' <url> -o- | vlc - would give you the best stream containing audio and video with a res...

I have attempted to specify a simple lavfi filtergraph (1 input, 1 output) of the form filter=key1=arg1:key2=arg2 with the --video-filter option. VLC split the arguments to the filter into words where : was the separator, which it appeared to treat as separate filters. I thought of several possible ...
