Hi Markp, Hope you had a good XMAS and Happy New Year to you. Apologies not getting back to you but XMAS etc and family got in the way of playing....Think I need to do something about that...I had lots of thoughts about how to fix this issue. The only solution I could come up with was to get rid of ...

Hi Markp, Sorry about the delay getting back to you....Work kinda got in the way. Share out directory - Good point.....I don't share out directories on my pc's anymore. Got hit with a virus via email a few months ago and it bounced across all the PC's through the shares infecting those as well. What...

Hi Student4Ever, I'm pretty new to all this streaming stuff but I found that I had to set the mime types before I could stream using http. I'm using Apache as I run WinXP Home which doesn't come with IIS. Here is a link describing what to do. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/librar...

Hi Markp, Here are the 2 logs. I cleared them out, restarted the server and then ran 4 movies. Apache reports no errors. Same result 3 movies run OK. As soon as the 4th is started 1 will stop. Apache Access Log 192.168.0.3 - - [16/Dec/2004:13:49:53 +1000] "GET //Movies/XMen.tp HTTP/1.1" 20...

I uninstalled VLC 8.1 and installed VLC 7.1. Client WinXP Home http Server WinXP Home Apache2.0.52 EnableMMap off EnableSendfile off Win32DisableAcceptex With VLC 8.1 on a test movie the Videolan debug showed one stream size With VLC 7.1 a different stream size was displayed. No changes were made to...

Hi All, Many thanks to all who replied re-WmvHD and DVR-MS support in Videolan. I rebuilt my system, ie, reinstalled XP, service packs etc and now WmvHD files play perfectly using Videolan. Can't say exactly what might have been wrong in my previous installation....maybe to much mucking around and c...

Hi All, I contacted DTS and they replied that they were not in discussion with Videolan regarding licensing and suggested they would be 'happy to refer you to one of our licensees for DVD playback software. All of them do offer PC OEM bundled packages.' So no joy there it would appear. I know VLC us...

Hi All, I'm setting up a VoD solution at home, to stream movies recorded from digital TV to various PC's around the house. I have setup Apache webserver v2.0.52 on a Win XP Home machine. I use VLC 8.1 on the client PC's. A movie (mpeg2) can be anywhere from 2gB to 7gB in size and are recorded on to ...

Sorry DJ, Operating system XP Home, Service PK2. Reason I ask is I record Digital Tv at the moment in TS format. VLC displays this and streams it perfectly but would like to use Microsoft DVR-MS as a recording format as it apparently has better compression and uses less space. As for HdWMV, There ar...

Thanks Sigmund,

I think I'll do that.

Cheers

Hi All, I can successfully view wmv files but playback hangs when playing HDwmv files from Microsoft. I am also unable to play DVR-MS files recorded from HDTV. TS files recorded from HDTV playback are OK though. Are there any plans to incorporate these file types into Videolan...Not being an 'expurt...

Hi Videolan, I understand the reasoning behind the removal of DTS support in Videolan. However if this functionality does not return under the Videolan license structure, would it be possible for those that want DTS to pay "DTS.we want money.co.inc.ltd" a fee for their codec license? Regar...
