The "Output/Written/Sent" statistics don't seem to update

All, I'm currently using VLC 2.1.5 as a sort of video transcoding server (CentOS Linux) where I mostly use it to re-stream incoming RTSP video (MPEG4 or H.264) to a different URL. This part works just fine. I'd like to add some stream monitoring as I've found that the output streams occasionally sud...

VLC, SSM multicast, and SDP

All, I know that VLC supports SSM (single-source multicast) and I've seen other forum topics state that to use it for SDP use the source attribute and for plain RTP and UDP streams, the syntax is: rtp://SOURCE_IP:SOURCE_PORT@GROUP_IP:GROUP_PORT udp://SOURCE_IP:SOURCE_PORT@GROUP_IP:GROUP_PORT I know ...

Re: RTSP keeplive & video freezing

Thanks Paul for your response. Does the RTSP specification specify one way or another how to handle this? The only language I saw in the spec said that using the GET_PARAMETER may be used for the purpose of keepalive but didn't sound like it required it. I haven't contacted the encoder vendor yet bu...

RTSP keeplive & video freezing

All, I use VLC to view live MPEG4 video from video encoder appliances (such as Optelecom or Coretec). In most cases I view video using multicast but sometimes I need to view unicast video from these encoders using RTSP. Up to now I've been stuck using VLC version 0.8.6d because the best i can it's t...

Re: VLCJ and custom painting on top of a Java component

That depends on the video driver. Usually disabling the hardware overlay fixes this (but explodes the VLC CPU consumption). Thanks for the response. Just to confirm, I assume that this is video driver specific and outside the scope of the VLC configuration and/or properties. For me this means: - vi...

VLCJ and custom painting on top of a Java component

All, I’m using JNA in combination with VLC to embed video within a standard Java application. In particular I’m using VLCJ (http://code.google.com/p/vlcj/) to provide a binding between Java and the VLC libraries. Here’s a quick summary of how video is started on a java.awt.Canvas object: java.awt.Ca...

Re: JVLC status

I've been playing around with VLCJ for a little bit and it's very cool. This question may be more appropriate in a separate discussion but how about older versions of VLC like 0.8.6d? RTSP seems to be broken in VLC (may be actually in the Live555 implementation) but video now locks up after ~10 seco...

Re: JVLC status

Cool...that's what I was hoping to hear.

I will definitely be ...

Re: JVLC status

Wow, this is really great work. I looked at JVLC about two years ago and at the time decided it wasn't worth the effort to get it to work as I needed. So instead I created a wrapper that controlled VLC using the telnet and RC interfaces. Works pretty well but it'd be a lot slicker to be able to embe...

Re: VLM 0.9.2 under Windows Connection failed

Does anyone know if there is a plan to fix this soon? I use VLC a lot at work and I'd love to move to 0.9.6 but I can't until the telnet connection issue is resolved (I checked the latest 0.9.8a version on Windows XP and it appears to still fail).
