The VideoLAN Forums

If you're able to use VLC to stream to a file then it should be possible to view the stream in real time, although perhaps you meant you're able to do that without VLC? If it's an IP camera, there may be a way of opening the video stream. If there is one you might be able to open it in VLC via "...

As TheBigTime001 said the "Client" term isn't relevant now as both client and server elements were merged into VLC.

Presumably that's to do with Livestreamer killing the VLC process, so it doesn't close "gracefully" where it would write the current position etc. to a config file. I had a look at the Livestreamer options, seems you can ask it not to the kill the player when a stream ends: http://livestre...

Go to: Tools >> Preferences And (assuming you are in the "Simple" settings mode), in the "Interface" tab untick "Resize interface to video size". Then click "Save" and close and re-open VLC then it should stay the same size regardless of resolution/whether a v...

So it works during normal playback (first command), but you want to stream the logo too (second command)? I think you're missing the "sfilter=logo" in your sout string (add the subpicture filter "logo" to the processing chain). For example: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph...

I too would like this feature .

As it appears a ticket has not yet been opened, I have opened one here:

Have you tried disabling overlay or changing the video output module? See here:

You can do it using the commandline. See here: https://wiki.videolan.org/How_to_add_logo/ If you're not familiar with commandline see here . So for example: vlc --sub-filter logo --logo-file logo.png input.mkv :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x264{qp=6},scale=Auto,sfilter=logo}:file{dst=out.mp4,no-...

In VLC, go to:
Tools >> Preferences

And in the "Inputs / Codecs" section change the "Hardware-accelerated decoding" setting. "Automatic" is probably best. Click "Save", restart VLC for good measure, and try a video.

So you've put the libaacs.dll (32-bit one) in the same directory as vlc.exe, and then created the folder "aacs" in %appdata%, and placed KEYDB.cfg in it?

Also have you tried other Blu-ray's out (the one you tried could just not have a matching key/be using BD+)?

If there isn't a Lua script for the site you want to use you could write your own. See here:
https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation ... t_Scripts/

However if you can find the source of the video you could just open that directly.

Arite.

It should work with a variety of different video streaming sites. The reason YouTube works is because a lua script has been written for YouTube which parses the given URL to find a direct link to the video source. For a list of the playlist lua scripts go to the VLC directory (where vlc.exe is) and ...

You can rotate the video by going to (in VLC):
Tools >> Effects and Filters

And in the "Video Effects" tab select the "Geometry" tab. There you can check "Transform" and select the appropriate transformation.

AFAIK the file goes into your %temp% folder. To get to it type %temp% into the Windows Explorer address bar and hit Enter. Alternatively, the full path should be something like: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp Where USERNAME is your username. If the file is still there it will be called e.g. &q...

There is actually a hardcoded shortcut of "Shift+L". See here:
https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... 94#p362594

The shortcut doesn't seem to work in fullscreen mode FYI. It's hardcoded because it's specific to the Qt4 interface (ATM), AFAIK.

Support for *.xz archives was added in WinRAR 5.00 beta 1 (see the changelog here). You can get the newest version, currently 5.00 beta 8, from here:

AFAIK VLC already supports Crystal HD cards, it was added in VLC 2.0.0 (source here ): * Experimental Hardware decoding using Broadcom CrystalHD cards Also see jb's post here: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=64323&start=20#p324893 If the current version, 2.0.8, or a nightly/RC...

If you don't already have the Crystal HD driver get it from Broadcom's site here . Then try adding: --codec crystalhd To VLC's command line. You can add that to VLC's shortcut (right-click shortcut >> Properties, add that to the "Target" after vlc.exe). So for example: "C:\Program Fil...

Are you graphics drivers up to date etc.? Does OpenGL (with overlay/acceleration enabled) improve it or is it about the same?

Nice one, looks good .

Go to:

And in the "Video" section enter 16:9 in the "Force Aspect Ratio" text box, then click "Save".

I believe it downloads to your current user's Temp folder. That is (in Windows 7): C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Temp Where [USERNAME] is your user name. You can also go to that directory by pressing the Start button and typing %temp% (then press Enter). If you can't find it/it's no longer there...
