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...
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 ...
@sherington Exception in thread "Thread-6" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.sun.jna.Pointer.createConstant(I)Lcom/sun/jna/Pointer; I'm using JNA 3.2.5. You have a mismatch on your classpath between the JNA platform.jar and the JNA jna.jar. Indeed you are correct. I had the correct combina...
@sherington I'm trying to get the mouse hook working on Windows XP but I keep getting this exception: Exception in thread "Thread-6" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.sun.jna.Pointer.createConstant(I)Lcom/sun/jna/Pointer; at com.sun.jna.platform.win32.W32API.<clinit>(W32API.java:93) at com....
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Cool...that's what I was hoping to hear. Having only looked at this briefly I thought maybe you could only create a single instance of the mediaPlayer and a single canvas but if you can have multiple instances that makes things a lot easier than having to do any type of mosaic. I will definitely be ...
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...
All, I'm trying to transition from VLC 0.8.6 to VLC 1.0.2 but the RC interface has slightly changed between versions, in particular the use of "named" mosaic functions in the RC interface. In particular there's now: | @name mosaic-alpha # . . . . . . . . . . . . . . alpha | @name mosaic-he...
I'll try to debug that on windows during the Xmas holidays. What login and password were you trying? Did you try setting a new login/password in the --lua-config parameter? Thanks, and no I hadn't tried setting the login/password in the --lua-config parameter. How does one do that and where can I f...
I have the same question. Almost the same version too (0.8.6i) I was hoping to reduce the fps to around 1, to conserve bandwidth on our network while testing out VLC. In talking with a co-worker of mine who has used VLC for some other projects he believed that this functionality hasn't actually bee...
Using freebits suggestion (copied the three *.lua files) I was able to start VLC and get a login prompt when I try to telnet but it won't take a password; it just sits at the password prompt. I've tried both of these command lines: vlc -I lua --lua-intf telnet --lua-config "telnet={hosts={'loca...
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).
All, I'd like to be able to stream a saved file but at different playback speeds depending on a user's input (for example 1x, 2x, 4x, etc.). Right now I have the following which only does 1x: "setup playback01 output #duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=<some playback URL>}}" which wo...
Eventually I found that this was a VLC running on Linux problem because when I run VLC on Windows XP I don't have this issue. I'm no Linux expert so I didn't attempt to find the exact issue on Linux but I can tell you it wasn't confined to a single Linux distribution (I tried both Fedora and Ubuntu ...
I'm using VLC to decode live MPEG2 multicast video. VLC will successfully play the live video but every so often I get very pixalated video along with the following errors in the messages window: libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 warning: invalid picture encountered libmpeg2 war...
All, In my particular setup I used VLC to decode both MPEG2 and MPEG4 multicast video. In some cases I use SDP (session description protocol) files to define an MPEG4 stream. Because all clients need access to these SDP files and they may get updated from time to time I thought the easiest way would...
hi dhirwinjr, thanks for your post I am also using a runtime.exec command to launch and use vlc. what do you mean by : It turns out that if you use the "--rc-quite" command line option this fixes the high CPU usage problem when starting VLC using Java. Can you give me your command line, p...
It turns out that if you use the "--rc-quite" command line option this fixes the high CPU usage problem when starting VLC using Java. In turn, however, I found that if you have opened the input streams that you can use to view the output from VLC when you try to close the streams (i.e. whe...
