The VideoLAN Forums

I've been following this documentation: http://wiki.videolan.org/Mosaic and I've created this vlm file new cam1 broadcast enabled setup cam1 input v4l2:///dev/video0:width=320:height=240 setup cam1 output #mosaic-bridge{id=1,height=320,width=240} new cam2 broadcast enabled setup cam2 input v4l2:///d...

Hi, I've got an usb webcam with internal (hardware) h264 encoder and I managed to start the stream using: vlc v4l2:///dev/video0:width=320:height=240:chroma=h264 So far, so good, but... The default bitrate, at which the webcam's h264 encoder is encoding the video stream, is too high for me (around 3...

yes, and you can, supposedly, do it using: but, it appears that vlc ignores this (it's a bug), so you'll have to wait for the bug fix, I guess..

try using "vfilter" instead of "video-filter"

Hi, When VLC is started as a http streaming server (--sout='#std{access=http,...}'), it would be nice to be able to intercept all MRL/URL requests for media streams, either because of logging/statistics or because of some custom added security checks. Let me explain on a simple example. We start VLC...

A bit late, but anyway.. You have a syntax error in your config.. "record1stop" should be "record1 stop" (delimited by a blank).

I've encountered this same problem and haven't found a solution for it
Maybe it would be possible using a pseudo playlist item like vlc://delay=1000 or something..
If I find a solution, I'll post it here.

Is there any way I can suggest this as a new feature?

You mean "--no-sout-audio" ?
I did. There is that option up there in the example of my command.

Hi, Although this problem is related to the one of last messages in this thread: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=71714 I'll post a new topic for the problem that has emerged, while solving another one :) So, the case is this. I have an ip camera: Video - Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (p...

Thanks a lot :) I've realized I was using "mux=ffmpeg{flv}" instead of "mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv}" :) Anyway, it works now, but it's somehow strange.. It waits for about 2 minutes (?) before starting to play anything.. This is the output of the VLC client (Tools - Messages): main debug...

2. (works when watched from VLC, not from JWPlayer) cvlc -vvv rtsp://webcam:554/h264_2 --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=0.0.0.0:4567/video.flv}' output: VLC media player 1.1.7 The Luggage (revision exported) [0x1bf9120] main libvlc debug: VLC media player - 1.1.7 The Luggage [0x1bf9120] main...

I'm sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but my problem is directly related to this problem, with the difference, I'd like to avoid recompression process (usins #transcode). Is this possible? Let me explain. I've got a webcam that is already sending producing h264 video via rtsp. I was thinking to ...

I would be more than glad to do it if I could know what exactly I need to do.. Is there any way I could find any tutorial/docs explaining how to do that?
Thanks in advance

Well, isn't that what ffmpeg's option --non-free (when doing ./configure) does? :) When you compile ffmpeg with that option, you get the message that your binaries will not be redistributable. And if we are fine with that, why not have such an option. I'm just trying to point out that we are missing...

Well, I'm not so much into legal things, so I may be obviously wrong, but I just think it's a shame that VLC doesn't have an option, like --non-free (like ffmpeg does have), so if someone wants to include the non-free parts/libraries, during the compile time, he can do it without any problems. I'm n...

Well, it is legal, since that guy, who wrote the patch for ffmpeg, to enable libaacplus support, made it that way the patch downloads the publicly available source code from 3gpp website, and he did mention that its publicly available, and he used that information to write his code.. During the ./co...

cool.. thank you
btw, how did you know that? i mean is it in the documentation or its a "tips/tricks" kind of a thing?
also, do you know, by any chance, how to make ffmpeg's default encoding to libaacplus?

sorry, typo.. what I meant was: acodec=ffmpeg{libaacplus}
is something like this possible?

Hi, I've succedeed to compile ffmpeg with libaacplus patch and it's working very well. Is it possible to run VLC, with some command line parameters, telling it to use ffmpeg{acodec=libaacplus}, meaning can VLC use ffmpeg's ability to encode aacplus? If yes, can anyone please provide just a simple ex...

vorbis and mp3 can't be a workaround, because the quality of aac+ at the bitrate of 32kbps cannot even be measured with vorbis nor mp3 at those bitrates.. we have to face it sooner or later that aac+ is the future.. all the online radio stations are switching to aac+ rapidly, video providers (like y...

I never saw any useful reply in this forum about aac+ encoding/streaming using VLC, so my only guess is that people who develop VLC are just not interested into it. This is really sad, because AAC+ is considered, by most people, the best audio codec so far and is widely used in many today's applicat...

I would also like to see this feature in VLC, since HE-AAC is a defacto the best audio codec so far and all the other codecs just can't compare to it..

Hi,

Is there any option to save video in file chunks? i.e. vlc saves the video as file001.flv, when the file reaches the file size of 10mb and then continues to save video in another file chunk, namely file002.flv, etc.

Thanks in advance,
burek.
