The dummy module (modules/misc/dummy) have sceleton versions of nearly all types of modules. Also the v4l and dshow modules should be used as examples for you. What you basically need to do is to create an "access" type module and a "demux" type module. Then the raw frame should...

Just out of curiosity, what decoders are you planing to implement? VideoLAN software does a great job of streaming live content in Linux, but it lacks *BSD's bktr driver support (versus V4L). I've written a skeleton capture that works but now I need to figure out what routines VLC (VLS later maybe)...

IRC rulezzzz.
The really l33t folks still hang out there MSN is for n00bs.

My 31337 years are long gone...

Web forums bay-bee...

I miss BBSs.

Anyway...

Well, most users prefer mailing lists as a way of communication. You can ask your questions to

vlc-devel@videolan.org (or vls-devel@videolan.org)

I should have known better than to post that topic - forgot about mailing lists

IRC - heh, I haven't used that medium in YEARS!

I would like to see a forum for asking developer-related questions, such as how to use the VLC API to write a simple decoder? The API documentations on the website are known to be... uh... poorly written and outdated. Either that, or maybe someone could update those webpages, maybe adding some examp...

Hi, I am very newbie here. I have a H+ card which I plan to use with VLC. Would you please be more specific of how it can be done. I have no experiences in linux. But my brother is. I set up my PC in Window 2000 as server which streams the stream via LAN just fine. My brother PC down stair in Linux...

Believe that's a typo, I'm pretty sure they meant .gz (GZ) as in a tar-gzipped file...

I know of no .qz (QZ) compression or what-have-you...

Maybe I'm not understanding you well, but you mean use VLC to output to the decoder board? (for TV-OUT and such?) That's pretty easy if so using the #es module of vlc: vlc -v dvdplay:/dev/dvd --sout '#duplicate{dst=display{novideo},dst="es{access_video=file,access_audio=dummy,mux_video=ps,mux_a...

My understanding is that the 2.5/2.6 kernels implement v4l2, which is NOT backward compatible with v4l1.

Changes would have to be made to the video for linux code in vlc (and probably vls) in order to support these kernels...

Ya, I'd go for that too... convenient to check videolan headlines/news and visit forums next.

BSD bktr support would be beneficial, although the meteor-style interface is a bit archaic (does do the job though). I have (unsuccessfully) tried to convert v4l-specific IOCTLs and such from VLC's v4l.c demuxer code to meteor-style but I haven't extensively worked on it lately... Shouldn't be TOO d...

Hello, I have been using VLC to do live broadcast (TV) streaming on my LAN... The host system is a linbox using v4l1 using the following command: vlc v4l:/dev/video0:channel=1:norm=ntsc:size=352x240:fps=30:adev=/dev/dsp --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mpgv,acodec=mpga,vb=1150,ab=224,samplerate=44100:chann...
