I can not get VLC 9.2 to stream any video when selecting another codec instead of MPEG4. I tried especially with H.264 which did not work but also other codecs failed. Only MPEG4 worked fine. Also it worked fine before with v0.8. Simple setup is with one VLC instance: Select file -> stream, select d...

sounds reasonable. Could I test this on my system?

On my system VLC is not capable to disable the screen saver. Yes, the appropriate option in VLC is enabled. My computer is Windows XP but my company configured it so that the screen saver options are not changeable, even for an user in administrator mode. MPlayer is handling this issue very well and...

I would like to understand why 300ms ist the minimum cache?
Is it for every combination of transfer-protocol/envelope-/video-codec identical?
Is there any way to reduce the minimum cache?

VLC 0.9 as a video streaming server has the default buffer/cache value of 300ms. If I decrease this value I am not able to establish any stream. Either the first frame only, a green, a grey or none screen at all is shown at the client (even when I use two instances of VLC on the same computer). How ...

I was able to get the nightly build of today working. :-) Startint with --use-stream-immediate works but streaming locally (from one VLC instance to another on the same PC) has a latency of about 4-5 seconds. When setting the cache of the client instance to 0 the latency decreases to about 3 seconds...

Until yet I was not able to get VLC 0.9 to work. I tried the nighlies and beta releases on both Windows and Linux. I will test the option and reply to you as soon as possible.

The input cache on both sides. Try --use-stream-immediate and lower caching, depending on the protocol used. The option --use-stream-immediate seems not be exist in VLC 0.8.6 for Windows. I get the message "the command line options couldn't be loaded, check that they are valid." In which ...

Streaming locally-from one VLC instance to another-has a delay of about two seconds.

I have the following setup: 1) Server grabs screen with VH Screen Capture Driver which is send via DirectShow to VLC. VLC encodes with H264 and sends the stream to the client. 2) On the client site VLC retrieves and decodes the screen and displays it on the screen. This setup results in several seco...

What is slave-input? I am trying to capture the screen as well as the sound output.

Thank you for your reply!

AFAIK it (ds sound + screen image) isn't possible ATM.

Is it possible to capture screen image (screen://) together with sound in another way?

Are there any plans to implement such a feature in future versions?

I can confirm this behavior. Could any developer please take a look to it or explain how to get it work?

Thank you very much!

I am using VLC successfully to capture my screen and store it in a MPEG4 file. Unfortunately I could not manage to capture the sound as well. I used the following option in the open file dialog window: screen:// :screen-fps=5 :nooverlay How to capture the audio as well? Thank you for your support
