Hi, If transcoding to a file, the input is transcoded as fast as possible. When transcoding to an http stream, the input is transcoded and streamed at a rate equivalent to the playback (1 minute file will take about 1 minute to transcode). Most clients buffer the initial part of a stream to allow sm...

I did some more experiments and found the following results: Encapsulation Video codec Audio codec Result MP4/MOV h264 MPEG 4 Audio (AAC) out of sync MP4/MOV h264 MPEG Audio out of sync MP4/MOV h264 MP3 out of sync MP4/MOV MPEG-4 MPEG Audio out of sync MPEG-PS h264 MPEG Audio in sync MPEG-TS h264 MP...

Unfortunately no.

When I try to transcode a video in VLC using the h264 video codec and mp4a audio codec, the audio and video is consistently out of sync by about 1 second. As part of my debugging process, I tried using MediaCoder with the same codecs and similar settings and the audio / video was also out of sync, w...

Hello, I noticed that, when using VLC through it's normal interface, I can select 'Media' 'Open Network...' and pass in a youtube url to have the video play automatically in VLC. I'm trying to get the same mechanism to work in my application which communicates to libvlc through JVLC. I was hoping it...

Hello, Songs may have art embedded in them (ex: an mp3 file can have album art). How does VLC expose this information? What I know so far: 1. I can get access to the art url by using "libvlc_meta_t.libvlc_meta_ArtworkURL" This will return "attachment://" if the art is embedded in...

In case anyone else has this problem, here's what you have to do:
Somewhere in your program, type the following command:

When making an Java application that uses VLC's java binding (called JVLC), I am unable to play files with Chinese characters (pretty much anything that is not ascii doesn't work). These files play properly if I open them directly in VLC. I think I've narrowed down the problem to the MediaDescriptor...

I have a temporary fix to my problem. In case anyone runs into the same issue, here's what I did: The following thread talks about a bug in jvlc's handling of the new MediaList format. http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=49612&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a They suggest that un...

The playlist plays correctly if I run it directly from vlc (by double clicking the vlc.exe icon and choosing media, open file...) . Here is the code I use to run any media file (either an MP3 or a M3U playlist). It works correctly for MP3 files but not M3U files (see the logs in my previous post). I...

Thanks for your fast response! :) When I play M3U files from VLC directly, they work correctly. However, when I load them from JVLC, it doesn't start playing (I load it exactly the same way as I would load a normal mp3). I see the following in the logs: [00000372] main input debug: thread started [0...

Hello, I have been looking into launching playlist files (ie: M3U files) from JVLC. There are several classes related to playlists (MediaList, MediaListPlayer etc.), but it seems that these classes were created to build playlists from single files (ie: add several individual MP3's to a MediaList and...

Hello, I have successfully setup a java application that has programmatic access to VLC on a windows machine using Java. This was done using the java binding called JVLC. During this process, I encountered several difficulties and noticed that several other posts had similar problems with often no s...
