Yes, I'm attaching here the patch. It's against 0.8.6a, but I think the source files have not changed significantly, so porting to 0.9.6 should be easy. That's one of the items in my TODO list... In the testing I've done, the patch has been quite effective. A good improvement I'm after would be to d...

In fact, I'm working now on a solution. I'm modifying the DVB access module so that it will monitor the average bitrate from the DVB input, and if it falls below a certain threshold, it will repeat the last block read and try to retune the frontend every few minutes (but not continuosly, as it might...

Well, it was easier than that... There is an option specifically for telling VLC on which interface must listen to multicast data:
Sometimes it's good to read the online help...

Thanks, I'll try fiddling with that...

I have eth0 and eth1 on my computer, but the multicast stream I want to play is only present on eth1. It seems vlc listens to eth0. I've tried with bind address, in the hope it would know which interface must it listen to given the source address, but no way, Jose. The commands I've tried are vlc -v...

Thanks!

I have a similar need, but my question is whether the transcoding always takes place in real time (that is, do we need 1 hour to convert a file with playing time of 1 hour?) or can it be done in batch mode if I don't need to see the video? Converting from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 takes only about 20% of pro...

Hi, I have a system that is multicasting from dvb-t and dvb-s inputs non-stop, and it happens that once in a while, there are errors in the input (specially on bad weather). VLC then stops streaming (more often, audio is lost) and cannot recover by itself, requiring a manual (well, I've managed to s...

You can start vlc in daemon mode: vlc -d --intf telnet (rest of options) then telnet localhost 4212 (username = admin) and enter the commands. If you want to start everything from the command line, you should add all the options in wide form, as it was mentioned in an earlier post. Anyway, TS discon...

If it helps, here is my setup. I use vlm telnet interface for setting up the channels, but the options work the same from command line. This is working also with a Nova-T. Anyway, take into account that there are several versions of the Nova-T that have an entirely different chipset. new tdt broadca...

I've managed to simultaneously stream five DVB-T channels from a Hauppauge NOVA-T, but with VLS. It's rather a tricky business, but here are, very summarized, the steps to take: - build DVB libraries and drivers (from http://www.linuxtv.org) - build custom VLS - generate appropriate /etc/dvb/dvbrc f...

VLC is under active development, many features not in VLS, and includes streaming capability.

Yes, but I'm afraid that one very important feature as multiple channel streaming is missing in VLC. I didn't try to start multiple vlc instances. Can it be done?

Hi, Is it possible to amplify the audio of a DVB-T input before streaming with VLS? I guess it must not be presently supported, as it would require decoding, processing the signal, and encoding again, in my understanding. Anyway, it could happen that some libraries could make the job simpler. I coul...
