Hi,

Can you tell me how to generate sdp file either through VLC GUI or command line? I also want to display the captured video locally. My webcam is "CamMaestro 4.0 AU", and audio is "Realtek AC97 Audio".

Thanks a lot,
Derek

Both version 0.8.1 and 0.8.0 work well after I set the video size as 640 x 480. One tricky thing is that I have to leave a space character between the two numbers. VLC crashes my windows XP if there is no space, or the video size is not set at all.

Are you using a multicast address?

I think I need specify the dst and port of my Darwin Server. I also want to capture radio, and display the video locally. Could you tell me the complete command?

Appreciate your help.

Derek

I want to display the captured video locally and send it to Darwin. Could you tell me what's wrong with me command? vlc --extraintf="logger" -vvv dshow:// :dshow-vdev="CamMaestro 4.0 AU" :dshow-adev="Realtek AC97 Audio" :dshow-size="640 x 480" :no-dshow-config...

I once thought it's VLC's bug

By the way, do you know how to generate sdp file, so I can use VLC to broadcast live stream to Darwin Stream Server?

Thanks a lot.

I know from VideoLAN news that VLC 0.8.0 supports sdp file generation, but I don't know how to make VLC generate it. I added it to the rtp module, and got the following log: stream_out_duplicate debug: * adding `std{access=rtp,mux=ts,url=127.0.0.1:12345,sdp=C:\abc.sdp}' main debug: stream=`std' main...

I got the answer :) Both version 0.8.1 and 0.8.0 work well after I set the video size as 640 x 480. I checked the website of the webcam company, and got to know the camera supports 640 x 480. One tricky thing is that we have to leave a space character between the two numbers. VLC crashes my windows ...

my case is blue screen, and restart XP. my webcam is PC380 from Emprex .

Thanks for you reply. I will try it later.

I have to say 0.8.1 crashed my XP SP2 when capturing web camera. Later, I installed 0.7.2 on the same machine, and it worked very well.

Yes, a general USB camera. I'm also running XP SP2. I bought the web camera recently, and installed the accompany driver. I downloaded 0.8.1 first, but it crashed my laptop several times. I forgot whether I tried 0.8.0. I searched this forum, installed 0.7.2, and it worked. But I need some feature a...

But VLC 0.7.2 works well. So there must be some incompatiblitie between the latest VLC and the dirver of my webcam or windows xp. Don't think I can get fix from Microsoft or the company who makes the webcam. I'm just waiting for the next release of VLC, and hope it works.

Thanks,
Derek

Hi,

Thanks for you guys' hard work for such a brilliant player and server solution. The latest version crashes my windows xp when capturing the webcam, but 0.7.2 works well. I checked the forum, and it looks like a common problem. Do you guys have some patch to fix it?

Thanks a lot,
Derek

The below link says 0.8.0 generates sdp file, so it's possible to broadcast to Darwin, but impossible for 0.7.2

Both 0.8.1 and 0.8.0 crash the windows xp when I tried to capture my web camera "CamMaestro 4.0 AU". Is it because of the webcam or OS ? Any release to fix this problem? Version 0.7.0 has no this problem.

Thanks,
Derek

The VLC user guide says it supports rtp module, and the valid options are dst, port, and sdp. But VLC 0.7.2 does not know these options. Do these options only apply 0.8.0 or later? But 0.8.0 and 0.8.1 will crash my windows XP when capturing webcam. For the sdp option, we can only specify a local fil...

Hi,

I'd like to capture live audio/video using VLC, and broadcast it to Darwin Stream Server on another PC. Then many users access the live stream from Darwin. Anyone know how to configure VLC to achieve that?

Thanks a lot,
