Looking for a usb tuner for Ubuntu 10.04. Need analog/cable input (no HDTV) that works with vlc or mplayer.

I play to use a remote. I'm new to lirc, still learning how to use it but it seems that you can always use one of the lirc utilities like irxevent which can send keystrokes and mouse event to any window. I hope to place javascript event handlers to filter my 'command keys' and call the associated vl...

Maybe instead of going 'fullscreen' you can set the width and height for the plugin display area to be less than fullscreen. If your TV, for example, is 720x576 then you could set width=720 and height=500. Then you would have screen space to place html buttons/links with javascript event handlers to...

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and stock vlc version 1.01. I'm viewing streamed sat TV using the vlc mozilla plugin. The TV stream is interlaced. Is there are way to deinterlace using vlc version 1.01 (which does not include deinterlace object)? I wouldn't mind using vlc version 1.10 but don't know how to ...

I want to use a netbook with atom PC and nvidia ION graphics chip that supports 1080p hardware decoding via vdpau and vaap interfaces. Does vlc, and more importantly, vlc mozilla plugin support vdpau?

How to you enable the media again? I only know how to do this when I create the media.

I'm using VLM/telnet to stream DVD over the net. I would like to select the audio language. I tried to use the --audio-languages option but it did not seem to work. Below are the VLM commands I used to stream the DVD: new media broadcast enabled setup media input dvd:///dev/cdrom@1 setup media outpu...

I need to re-stream mpeg2 (no transcoding) from a dreambox sat receiver using command line. How do I select the audio track from the source via the command line?

I want to automatically stream live TV from a tv capture card using vlc. When I run vlc from the command line it always displays the vlc UI. Is it possible to add a linux bootup script (e.g., via rc.local) that invokes vlc command line? My concern is that vlc requires some type of graphics environme...

I want to stream live TV from my sat receiver over my home LAN. The sat receiver has S-video and composite. Can anyone recommend a good, low-cost capture or encoder card that runs under Unbuntu linux.

I want to build an inexpensive iptv system for multicasting fta satellite program over a LAN. I read somewhere that the dreambox 500s sat receiver can stream mpeg-ts over its ethernet interface. I read in this forum that the dm500 it uses UDP port 31337. Is this an ts or pes stream? I need to multic...

I want to know if I can stream mpeg-ts from a dreambox to VLC client. I want to build an inexpensive iptv system to multicast free-to-air satellite programs over the LAN

The content is a standard NTSC DVD resolution-wise. I cropped the black bars (e.g., changing the resolution to from 720x480 to 720x352). I used megui's tool for this. x264 was used to convert the DVD VOB file to h.264, besweet to convert the ac3 5.1 audio to mp3 and mp4box to mux the h.264 and mp3 i...

I'm not familiar with the VLC command line but will read up. Not familiar with MP2v but I assume by the name that it is an mpeg2 container. Does this container support mp3 instead of a52? I assume that the operation is just remuxing and not real transcoding (it takes 8-10 hours to transcode to h.264...

I have movies (h.264/mp3) stored in .mp4 format. I used the VLC wizard to convert to mpeg ts. When done the result contains only audio. The .mp4 movies play fine with VLC. The steps I followed are: 1.) select Transcode/Save to file 2.) Select the .mp4 file to remux via 'Select a stream' file chooser...

I have h.264/mp3 movies stored in .mp4 containers. VLC plays these files OK. I remuxed the .mp4 files to mpeg ts using Elecard's XMuxer Lite (I need to stream to an amino STB). The .ts files initially play (it seems) up until there is a lot of full screen action. It stutters for a while then freezes...

I've ripped a DVD to h.264 (using mencoder), stored in an AVI container. I want to stream this to a file in a mpeg ts output format (so I can eventually stream to an Amino STB). I tried using: vlc -vvv file.avi --sout '#standard{access=file,mux=ts,dst=file.ts}" The result when played via vlc: s...

Guys, I've just started a project to build a basic VOD server using the Amino STB. I saw in a post that you used Live555 RTSP server. We are likewise considering using this. Any problems with this package in production environment. Is it stable, reasonable performance, etc? We want to stream DVDs to...

I also have a similar problem trying to convert to mpeg transport stream. I have an AVI file and just want to convert it to mpeg ts (without transcoding). I use: vlc -vvv file.avi --sout '#standard{access=file,mux=ts,dst=file.ts}' VLC only plays the sound, without any video. I'm running under Ubuntu...
