It looks to be a problem specifically with ts muxing of mp4v video. Streaming with mux of ogg played back at the correct frame rate.

Just tested this using my Mac as the server, and I'm getting the same results there, as well.

I'm trying to stream various sources using mp4v and/or xvid, and the output stream is always limited to 10fps or less. Here's my command-line: vlc -I dummy video.mov :sout="#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,fps=30,vb=800,acodec=mp4a,ab=128}:std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:8092}" -vvv The input source doe...

Just to chime in on this: for those who know about the nightly builds and/or how to build from source, getting around the announced security vulnerabilities is no big deal. However, for novice to intermediate users, this looks pretty bad. Look at it from their perspective: Scary-sounding vulnerabil...

I was able to get latest git to build by commenting out lines 247 and 248 in /modules/demux/avformat/demux.c. Everything seems to still work, but it may have broken features, I don't know for certain. default: es_format_Init( &fmt, UNKNOWN_ES, 0 ); if( cc->codec_type == CODEC_TYPE_DATA ) psz_typ...

Can one compile VLC for Mac OS X without building a .app? I've been trying for the last week or so without much luck, adding "--disable-macosx --prefix=/opt/vlc" to the configure options but without much luck, along with installing all of the extras/contrib applications there. So far I've ...

VLC can detect if it was launched from the symlink. So it is different. And if you are playing videos and other stuff, it still will TRY to open the window of course. clivlc -I dummy -V dummy (run no interface, show no video) I've been running some tests, and VLC for OS X seems to require a user th...

I'm trying to launch vlc from the command-line from apache as part of an automated streaming web app. It works fine on Linux and Windows, but on Mac OS X, vlc returns the following error message: [00000001] main vlc error: option rt-offset does not exist [00000001] main vlc error: option rt-offset d...

I'm having trouble compiling vlc 0.8.2 on Ubuntu Hoary 5.04. It's trying to find avformat_pic for the ffmpeg module, but can't because it doesn't exist. Here's the error message: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../.. -DSYS_LINUX -I../../../include `top_builddir="../../.." ../../../vlc-con...

I'm having the exact same issue. I'm also using Ubuntu 5.04, but I encountered the same issue with VLC on Mac OS X and WinXP, so I don't think that it's distribution or even platform specific. Here's the command-line that I used: vlc -vvv -I telnet test.mpg :sout='#transcode{acodec=MP3,vcodec=DIV3,a...

I still haven't been able to transcode an mpeg4 stream using vod. We know that vlc's vod features can stream mpeg4 when the file is pre-encoded, and that you can transcode audio and video in vod mode. What changes when we try to transcode the stream to mpeg4 instead of mpeg2 (mpgv)? Or any other for...

Okay, I poured over the docs some more, and found that there was a separate mux option for vod, so I tried the following: setup test mux ts setup test mux ogg setup test mux mp2t setup test mux mpeg1 setup test mux ps setup test mux asf Some of those options I deliberately chose because they should ...

I've successfully used VLC's VOD features to stream transcoded mpeg2 streams over my network, but the video quality / bandwidth trade-off leaves something to be desired. Is there a way to transcode the streams to mpeg4? Following this thread , I was able to come up with this in the VLM: new test vod...

I've got a PHP script that streams video from my TiVo out to VLC, recompressing it on-the-fly to ASF format. Things work great when streamed from IIS, Abyss Web Server, and even Apache 1.3.x, but when I attempt to stream from Apache 2.0.x, VLC attempts to cache the entire stream before it will start...
