Hi All

That's the problem, my app seems not to have Kbd access (for any key) when booting into cli.
If loading X then yes.
If I run ; libvlc_release(instance) then yes, but I don't want to release the instance between videos.

Regards

Hi All Originally posted here:[url][https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=165660/url] But after graduating to using the library, thought this the better place. Using a Rpi Zero W 2 booting directly to cli as a headless system. In other words X is not loaded. Then in /etc/rc.local I sta...

Hi All

Appreciate that.
Is there anyway to allow me to Interrupt the video, and nominate a new one ? (without vlc exiting)

Regards

Hi All The Target: Rpi Zero W has push buttons to select Video's in a Museum. Buttons can be pressed in the middle of another video to change to another. The app is written in FreeBasic and uses the Pipe command: ie: PipeCmnd = "vlc -I rc Video1.mov fullscreen" Open Pipe PipeCmnd for Outpu...

Hi All

Thank you Remi, that worked perfectly for me.
The above example line simply became: A total of 40 lines of .jpg and .mov mixed.
Saved as .m3u file.
Once again , thank you

Hi All I have made up a playlist for our local Museum's 50th anniversary. This playlist is on a usb stick and has Windows vlcportable installed on it. All works perfectly, many thanks to the good people at vlc for such a fantastic program. These USB sticks will be sold on our open day to raise money...

Hi All Trying to decide which way to go with this need we have to broadcast sound only from an audio mixer to 5 speakers around an Historical Village. About 6 times a year we have events where entertainment on a main stage needs to be transmitted to speakers. My initial thought was to use a PC with ...

Hi All Just an update, have installed the system at the museum and is working perfectly. Able to see 48 camera's in 3 locations over a single cat5 with 2 ethernet switches. One of these switches is just a simple range extender. Every 5 sec's each of the 9 monitors change to show another batch of cam...

08:30 am here on the Sunny Queensland coast.
Once again , Many Thanks.

You didn't even give me the chance to try my version,
But that worked straight away.

Did you look at the pdf I posted in the earlier posts, cause I will remove it later.

I think because it is getting to long winded.
You have done pretty good sofar.

I will play around with it now we have the format correct and see if I can get the client from cli as well.
If not and I am stuck, I will start a new thread.

Enjoy your day (or night)

Regards

That's working
Do we need to go back to the full string ?

Yes, the GUI opens but is stopped. Log file has same error lines. vlc -vvv v4l2:///dev/video0 --sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=800,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:rtp{dst=192.168.0.255,port=5004,mux=ts,sap} Took the name off the end to try that main error: stream chain failed for `tr...

Hi All main error: stream chain failed for `transcodevb=800:rtpname=Test' main error: cannot start stream output instance, aborting main debug: dead input Then removing vb=800 main error: stream chain failed for `transcode{vcodec=mp2v}:rtpname=Test' main error: cannot start stream output instance, a...

I did and then the next field becomes an error (samplerate=44100)

main error: stream chain failed for `transcodesamplerate=44100:rtpname=Test'
main error: cannot start stream output instance, aborting

Hi All Sorry for testing your patience. That string now seems to work by announcing : VLC media player 3.0.8 Vetinari (revision 3.0.8-0-gf350b6b5a7) and a blinking cursor. However, the normal way of opening the client /Media/Open Network Stream rtp://192.168.0.255:5004/Test just sits there with the ...

Hi All I don't think there is any security risks as the LAN is totally isolated and NOT on the net plus there is a secondary alarm system. :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=800,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100,scodec=none}:rtp{dst=192.168.0.255,port=5004,mux=ts,sap,name=Test} :no-sout-al...

Hi All Mercury048 , you have done well , many thanks for your time & effort. :D YFYI, the installation is on a very large Museum & Historical village which is run totally by volunteers, usually retired people like myself. The solution you have helped me find is easy for me to setup, however ...

Hi All SUCCESS What do you mean by this? Do not change the IP address of the machine itself. We are talking about VLC settings only. No, I meant setting both to 192.168.0.2 in VLC only. Even though I don't tick "Display Locally" sometimes it still does. I assumed that when it did , it had ...

Hi All According to your instruction, both PC's now have the same IP address. I have pinged both OK. The originating PC1 now has 192.168.0.2 Which now displays the capture locally. The Target PC2: /Media/Open Network Stream/ rtp://192.168.0.2/Test then play. This results in: VLC is unable to open th...

Hi All Mercury048, thanks for your perseverance, similarly I rarely give up if I know it is "supposed" to work. The test you detailed worked, however when I then tried the second PC it failed. Cannot resolve 192.168.0.9/Test Port 5004 Name or service unknown I notice that the error message...

Hi All Concluded the following after extensive testing. 1: Using VLC with Video capture device on PC1. Then using x11vnc as a server for that captured screen on PC1. Using vncviewer on PC2. This is the only reliable way to make this work.(had a problem with one capture device dropping out, replacing...

Hi All I have tried RTP as well. The video format I am using to test is mp4. The format is RTP/MPEG Transport Stream Have tried with empty target address and with rtp://192.168.0.9 (2nd PC) Video H-264 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100,scodec=none}:duplicate...

Hi All

Thanks for trying that Mercury048.
Have a look at the first half of this video ?
Are we talking about an earlier version of VLC here ?

Hi All Struggling to understand what is happening. I can ping two PC's from each other and then start a stream from 1. Then when I get to "Open Network Stream" on PC2 I get this in the log. main: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. main: playlis...
