Hello, To avoid compiling GUIs, you can configure with --disable-wxwidgets --disable-skins2 At runtime, you can use -I dummy, -I rc or -I http to avoid having a GUI. RC will allow you to give some simple commands while it's running. HTTP will start an embedded web server to control VLC from web pages

Hello,

You can either set up some portforwarding on the NAT, or use VLC on the bsd to restream. You don't need X to run VLC, it can work only in command line mode. Please have a look at the documentation for more insights on these topics.

Hello,

Could you send an OGG file that provokes this to ftp://streams.videolan.org/incoming and answer here when you have done it ?

Thanks

Hello, What you do is OK atm :) After doing this, on your friend's machine, you need to go to open, network, and in the http box, enter the IP address of the first machine and :8080, like 192.168.0.1:8080 The "command line interface" consists of using a DOS command prompt to enter paramete...

For your first question, yes, many people have reported this type of problems.

Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to find the cause of these. Basically, it means there is a bug in the driver, and VLC triggers the bug, while other applications don't.

(Ipkiss forgot to mention he will probably very soon make an outstanding skins-based system to handle this)

Hello,

Did you try upgrading to the latest version ? (0.8.4)
Some things have changed in subtitles handling

Do you mean software or hardware ?

For on demand "streaming" of files, the most simple solution is to put them on a standard web server, like Apache

Hello,

Unfortunately, for both of your problems, the fact is that it is not implemented.

Video size "remembering" is not implemented, but might be in 0.8.5
RAR reading is not either, and we don't really know if we want to support it.

Hello,

This webcast uses multicast. You can only view it if your connection supports this technology (few do). The proxy settings don't apply here as it is not an HTTP connection.

You should ask for more details to the webcaster or to your internet services provider

Hello,

All seems normal in this debug. Could you please paste the full debug, including what happens later ?

Thanks

Hello,

You must use the "marquee" filter. You can search the forums for more details on how to use it (look for "marq")

Hello,

Nice banner !

Would you agree to us putting it on the goodies page of VideoLAN's website ?

Hello,

If you are speaking about the interface, you can have a look in modules/gui/wxwidgets. You could also try to do this using the skins

Hello, You can go to the "Advanced -> Misc" preferences panel (maybe called advanced->others). You can then check "allow only one running instance" and "enqueue items to playlist when in one instance mode", save. VLC will then enqueue items instead of opening a new window

Hello,

I answered here viewtopic.php?t=14476

Hello,

You need to build the stream output chain "yourself".

Use '#shout{url=user:password@server_host:server_port/mountpoint}'

It's not very user-friendly at the moment, we'll see what we can do

Hello,

For this, we need to adapt the firefox plugin. It's not very hard but nobody has done it for the moment.

Hello, We only release full features binaries, but if you want, you can compile it yourself with --disable-sout. Additionnaly, you can remove most of the streamer features by removing the "stream_out_*", "access_out_*" and "mux_*" DLL files in the plugins folder of VLC ...

Hello,

Either use ftp://user:pass@address/file

Or use the ftp-user and ftp-passwd options in preferences.

Hello,

On Windows it can, on macosX I'm not sure

For autostart, the autostart mechanisms are not the same, so you won't have any trouble doing different versions for Win and Mac

Hello,

Somehow, the "wxwidgets" plugin is not present. You might need to install the "wxvlc" (or something like that package) or the WX libraries.

Hello,

This message means that the compiler itself crashed. You could try with another compiler version and report the bug to your distribution as stated in the crash message

Hello,

We probably have fixed the problem in a SVN branch at svn://svn.videolan.org/vlc/branches/0.8.4a

If you can, could you please try to build and test this ?

We will probably be releaseing this bugfix version in a few days and it should be in unstable very soon after

Hello,

Thanks for your support

About the playlist, we plan on supporting some things here, mainly favorites, but I don't know exactly when it will be there
