Open VLC App from the plugin

I'm using v2 of the plugin, and it's great (thanks).

Is there a reliable way to launch the local application using a call to the plugin via javascript?

If there's a way, I'm hoping it will work on Mac/Win/*nix.

Re: What has happened o the Nightly Builds?

I'm keen to see a recent Mac Intel build, to give the plugin code a whirl.

Did the leopard version of ffmpeg come out?

How to make default output a udp stream for all files?

I'd like to use VLC to broadcast a UDP TS for an entire playlist of MPG files. I can make this work manually when adding a single file to the playlist, and specifying the stream output parameters. What I want is to add a directory full of files to the playlist without having to specify the stream ou...

setup your relay in VLC with the VLM. Once running, it will continue to relay when the originating stream starts and stops.

that sounds like multicast is not present on the default MacOS network (the topmost one). If you have multiple networks, try changing the order of them in the Network control panel.

I set mine for 3000ms

This works OK, however VLC never plays the last 3000ms of the file.

SAP TTL

I'm using VLC 0.8.6a on MacOS to do multicast UDP broadcasting with SAP. However, the TTL on all SAP packets is 255, no matter what value I set on the command line -ttl value.

You need to add a multicast route to your operating system.

On *nix it's

sudo route add 224.0.0/4 192.168.2.0

Can't tell you on windows, however.

On a multi core Mac, transcoding can run on multiple CPUs if you set the preference to do so in Stream Output/Sout Stream/Transcode/Number of Threads.

If shutdown were available as a VLM command it would be much easier to build systems that loop on a changing folder of items. Making it work with the scheduler would be even better!

VLC 085 release version for Intel Mac doesn't know about H264.

Yes it does

VLC plays UDP multicast streams just fine. This error is seen when no stream is present on the IP you specify.

Perhaps your router doesn't route multicast?

To save the TS you don't need to specify raw input, just save it to a file. If you can get it to play different channels on screen, that's what will be recorded. If the broadcast is a TS with multiple streams in it, and VLC is picking the first, I don't think there's a way to select the program in t...
