The VideoLAN Forums

I took DRASTIC measures.
uninstalled vlc, tried to even remove remaining directories under videlan, it would not let me,
rebooted, then removed the remaining directories,
re-installed
ran it and it works just fine now...

Jerry

I did settings - > preferneces -> reset all, click OK and closed VLC.
Re-ran my appliation that starts VLC and it was still minimized.

Good suggestion. Might you have another?

Thanks,

jerry

I am executing the command: c:\program files\videoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe --quiet -I dummy --stop-time 300 http://someIP:8154 vlc:quit from within my program to startup vlc. On one particular XP pc vlc is starting up minimized. Can I for it to maximized ? Not fullscreen just maximized. This is not happening...

I am running a command like: vlc -I dummy file.avi --quiet vlc:quit & this works fine... Now I want to add the --rc-host option so I run vlc -I rc --rc-host localhost:8000 file.avi --quiet vlc:quit & and vlc stops. If I take off the & then vlc runs fine. How do I start vlc in the backgro...

I am using vlc 0.8.5 on slackware with a linksys camera WVC200. My streaming command on the server is where .176 is the camera. /usr/bin/vlc -I dummy -V dummy --quiet --http-reconnect http://192.168.1.176/img/video.asf --sout #std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:8100} I then do the vlc http://serverip:8100...

You are correct.

I thought I still needed the single quotes but no...

Thanks again.

Jerry

I was thinking that - but I am not finding it.
Can you be a little more specific.

Thank you.

When I run VLC from a script file with no variables everything works fine: My First script: #!/bin/sh # /usr/bin/vlc --stop-time=10 -I dummy -V dummy --quiet http://admin:admin@192.168.1.176/img/video.asf --sout #std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:8080}' vlc:quit & I can connect on port 8080 and play ...

These help...

-V dummy -I dummy

I am searching for a command line option that will run vlc and not display anything on the X window screen.
I am just running a streaming server with it and dont want it displaying anything on X

How can I do that?

jerry

I am running the command: /usr/bin/vlc --quiet http://admin:admin@192.168.1.176/img/video.asf --stop-time 60 --sout '#std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:8080}' trying to get VLC to stop after 60 seconds. It does not stop. I am using slackware 0.8.5-i686 from the download pages. I tried to add "--run-...

I did a command like:

/usr/bin/vlc --stop-time 60 http://admin:admin@192.168.1.176/img/video.asf --sout '#std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:8080}'


to test that it would stop streaming after 60 seconds.

It does not stop.

How can I get it to stop after X minutes of streaming?

Jerry

Is there a command line option to stop VLC after some time - like 30 minutes?

If I have 2 or more vlc's running how do I stop vlc-1 while still leaving vlc-2 running etc...

Thanks,

Jerry

I changed my command line to the following: /usr/bin/vlc -vvv http://192.168.1.115/img/video.asf --sout '#std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:8080}' and I now got video. I think the muxer off was the issue. When viewing this port 8080 with vlc or mplayer the delay of the video is very small. However, when ...

Below is the output from my VLC. My command line is: vlc -vvv http://192.168.1.115/img/video.asf --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=192.168.1.12:8080}' I have compiled ffmpeg with: ./configure --enable-shared --enable-decoder=g726 --enable-encoder=g726 --enable-libx264 --enable-pp --enable-li...

THere has been no reponse to my streaming question. How do I stream from an http source? Is that possible? Have I messed something up? do I not have something comiled in to stream http sources? jerry my config is: vlc config.status 0.9.0-svn configured by ./configure, generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61,...

Hi, I can use the following command to: vlc ../trailer_videos/SharkTale.avi --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=asf,url:8080}' to stream the video and then this command mplayer http://192.168.1.8:8080 on the client to play it. that is all fine. However, I wish to stream a linksys wvc200 camera using t...

OK I have come to the question of is this a BUG??? I installed ffmpeg on a machine that does not have any of the other libraries, faac, faad etc... I got ffserver to work with the camera linksys wvc200. All I get from vlc is that it doesnt know how to decode MP4S. Is this a bug with vlc or do I have...

I got past my other problem (for the time being) as I use a completly new computer. My old problem was not loading the ffmpeg_plugin. (or so it seemed). I started a new thread as it seemed that was not the issue anylonger as I dont see it being printed anyway. Now my issue is it is not finding a dec...

This is my vlc output from trying to stream a linksys wvc200 camera. It says cannot do MP4S. What library do I need for that? I installed ffmpeg and nothing else. I am trying to get the minimal config for this. My ffmpeg config was; ./configure --enable-shared --disable-vhook --enable-decoder=g726 -...

I did remove ~/.vlc before running each time. That did not help.
