We do sanitize the title in the medialibrary. It's usually regarded as a feature. You can see, in our test code, how it's useful for the common use case: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/medialibrary/-/blob/master/test/unittest/TitleAnalyzerTests.cpp?ref_type=heads#L79 To be clear, would you like ...

Can you confirm that the title is changed when you actually play the media ?
For instance, you could play episode 2, the title should change to the same pattern as episode 1.

Hi, This should be exported to VLC ports via the medialibrary, which would use libvlc. Do you have a code.videolan.org account ? I've created a tracking issue, if you are interested in working on it, please join the discussion here: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/medialibrary/-/issues/487, i'll ...

Hi, thanks for the report.

Could you confirm that they are for sure not duplicated files via the "Information" setting available in the overflow menu of a song? This will display info of the media, notably the path. Is it the same for two duplicated song?

Most likely the vout handled by the display stream output isn't shared to the player. Are you sure you need to use stream output here? Wouldn't it work simply with:

This feature isn't ready yet for production so failures are to be expected sorry.
Could you please give us a link to a pastebin of the verbose logs of the problem? it would help us find the issue! (On windows hit ctrl-M and select verbose log output, then proceed to try rendering the media on your TV)

Casting on DLNA supporting devices should be implemented in the next VLC major release.
You can have a preview and test the feature on the nightlies but be aware that these versions aren't stable yet.

Hi,
Thanks for the report. If DLNA is enabled on your Jellyfinn instance, it should be discoverable by VLC otherwise, its a bug on our side.
Could you try with another DLNA client?

I have installed vlc-4.0.0-dev-win64-dfde8b0e.exe (downloaded from https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc/nightly-win64/20230202-0424/) on my Windows 11 machine and unfortunately only Sony Bravia TV is found but Panasonic TV is not. On other hand when I right-click on a movie file and select "Cast...

Casting on DLNA renderer devices will be available in VLC 4. You can already test it with the nightly desktop version!

Hi Dave, Add quotation marks to the transcode chain descriptor so you shell is not confused on how to interpret it. You also might want to change the `raw` muxer to `mp3` to have a proper mpeg container and add `vlc://quit` as a second input to automatically close vlc when the transcoding is done: v...

Hello, Looks like the "szv" file format is a proprietary format specific to ANY-maze. We cannot implement it in VLC as they don't seem to provide any public documentation around the format. They, however specify in their FAQ that you should be able to convert it to a standard media contain...

Current HLS access output won't support crafting a main playlist to expose multiple renditions of the stream. You'll have to craft it yourself and refer all the playlists generated by the accesses. I think you are misusing the "multithreaded" termination, you just want to have mutliple str...

You'll probably have to manually rebuild the ffmpeg contrib, our contrib system isn't able to detect local modifications in contrib themselves and rebuild automatically: Go to your contrib build directory: cd vlc/contrib/contrib-android-... Make sure your modified ffmpeg version is here, then: rm .f...

IIUC you wan't the server to losslessly scramble your stream so un-authorized clients have trouble seeing the content but authorized clients could somehow decode it? As far as I know there is no such video filter for that :/ However, you might be able to encrypt video and audio using csa keys via th...

Hello,
Sorry but subtitles are currently not supported in our Chromecast implementation. This is still work in progress for future versions.

It's likely that you've filled your track number wrong then!

How do you launch VLC using PHP exactly? You process spawning API should give you the pid of the spawned process so you can track and kill it.

Could you share some logs? Or describe the errors you are getting? Does it work if you replace the udp output by a local file output for instance `#transcode{...}:file{dst=/tmp/test.ts,mux=ts}` ?

Hey, could you share verbose logs by adding `-vv --logfile=...` to your command line ?
Additionally you could try `audio-language=ger`.

Hello!
Could you share the verbose log output in a pastebin? Add `-vv` to the command line.

Could you share a failing mkv file ? Even a small sample cut so we can try to reproduce!

Please see this ticket for more context: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/2951
Unfortunately the fix for this is non-trivial and is scheduled for VLC 5.0 for now...

Hello, You can use a `gather` stream output filter to achieve this in the command line interface, please see this part of the documentation: https://docs.videolan.me/vlc-user/3.0/en/advanced/stream_out_introduction.html#example-2-combining-gather-and-std With the documentation example, you'll end-up...

Hello, this could be a bug on our side but first please ensure your VLC App is up to date to the latest 3.5.3! We had DLNA bugs in the previous version. I quickly tested on a FireTV and had no issue discovering DLNA server. Might try to reproduce on the 2nd gen stick if you still encounter the issu...
