Is there a way to instruct VLC to append to an existing download file (when a file target is specified for output instead of a window) instead of overwriting that file? This is the case of restarting a stream with the same filename...

Does anyone know how to get a stream to restart playing when it goes inactive? Either that or is there some way of telling VLC to append to an existing media file rather than restarting with a new instance of VLC which I'm assuming overwrites the existing file if the filename is the same?

I'm downloading some content from the web. I'm not getting the FF/RW shuffle functionality in the file itself when its downloaded. I'm downloading WMV2 format with an .ASF wrapper... is there some other format that I need to be using to make sure that FF/RW is available in both VLC and other players...

I've been messing with the API a bit and needed some info on error handling. If I feed VLC a bad address to an MMS server, it appears to do *nothing* in return. This seems to happen in the VLC interface too; it doesn't do anything it just doesn't work (there's no "bad address" message box ...

I have figured out how to download streams to the local filesystem using the API instead of the VLC interface... what I need now is some information about how to query the library for stats on a particular stream. In particular I'm looking for total bytes that have come across since the stream was i...

Where is the listing of valid attributes you can query from the lib? I tried getlength during a download and it always returned 0. Is there a listing of all variables you can query and their purpose?

Thanks,

I have a program that does what I want it to with LibVlc... this entails downloading live streams to a file. This was accomplished with the AddTarget with the appropriate options. I have some questions about getting the current status of things from the library. I would like to know how many bytes h...

I'm curious how I might go about accessing VLC's live stream downloading capability through the DLL? I'm writing a C# application that needs this ability... I wrote a custom implementation of MMS (a pain) and thought I'd try out the DLL. Basically I have live streams at a designated address that can...

I am working on a project now that manages streams for a broadcasting network. I have written custom code to do MMS downloads of ASF media which is working pretty good. Given the breadth of functionality of VLC I was looking for ways of leveraging this... Does VLC have libraries that are callable fo...

I have a project I'm working on. I currently have downloading of asf streams from an MMS server working. The code is written in C#. There appear to be nuances in the .ASF format since MP11 where the timings are a little off. Instead of having to debug all of these issues while I working HTTP and RTS...

I have imported the VC++ projects into a solution for Visual Studio 2005 and the import went well. When attempting to build the solution I'm getting tons of errors in almost every module about undefined variables. A few of the "major ones" are: Error 3 error C2037: left of '__msg_GenericVa...
