The VideoLAN Forums

Well, a quick fix is to configure with --disable-screen if you don't need the desktop capture access module

You can use the --rc-show-pos will display the current position (in percent) in the stream. Since this isn't likely to be sufficient, it wouldn't be hard to add a command to retrieve the current position, of the implement a seek +12 or seek -12 command (it's just that nobody needed it until now)

I work on an open source smarthome/media server product (plutohome.org). We're based on Debian, 2.6 kernel VLC media player 0.8.1. We let the user play movies and bookmark scenes with Xine, and we switch automatically to VLC when the user wants to play the same thing in multiple rooms. The problems...

Could you try to open the disable menu when opening the disk ? And can you give us a more compete output if the Window->messages panel ? There is certainly a bug here...

Hi,


I also tried vlc dvdsimple:///dev/dvd@3, The movie is looping again and again.

This is the right way to do it. You can add a VLC:QUIT playlist item after the dvdsimple: one, in order to have VLC exit after hving read the stream

I am planning to build a VideoLAN but I have some questions:

Can you put more then one DVB-S card in one server? I am planning to have multiple Nova-S with CI in one server to distribute the main 6 channels in my country on my network.

4 Nova-S have alrady been successfully tried

VLS can only output MPEG2/TS.

WMP is able to read that with some extra codecs.

However, be aware that vlc comes with a mozilla plugin for linux / windows / MacOSX

VLC is able to stream in MPEG1/2/4 using http / mms, etc...

All that seems feasible to me...

You can have vlc display in fullscreen by default by adding the --fullscreen to the command line (or setting it in the prefs...

You need to compile dvb drivers in the kernel, and libdvb-0.2.2

Rhen use --enable-dvd --with-libdvb=/pat/to/libdvb --with-dvb=/path/ti/kernel/sources

Aminocom set top boxes are an example of supported devices

In fact, I'm not sure ipaq version of vlc comes with ffmpeg (somebody corrects me...) In fact, I don't think any iPAQ would have enough CPU ressources to decode an MPEG4 stream...

As stated in the doc, VLC is able to stream video content coming from TV cards. On linix, v4l compatible cards and pvr 250/350 cards are supported On windown, any directshow compatbie card should fit. Is is however obvious that everybody will have to watch tdhe same channel at the same time. It is h...

Well, the easiest woutld be to start vlc in a screen : create a vlc.sh file, in which you put your vlc command line (don't forget to specify -I dummy, rc, or http, since there won't be any X server available) Then, add a script in the right /etc/rc?.d directory (or use the tools that come with your ...

Well, about the add item, I think it already exists (perhaps not in a context menu), and VLC should allow you to listen to most internet radios : just paste the address in the open network window...

could you send us the log ?

(Window, Message)

Are you trying from a console, or X ?

Has the kernel fb enabled ?

Well, is your router set correctly (in particular, do you have any multicast routing protocol, such as PIM enabled ?)

1) Check whether you kernel has been compiled with multicast support

2) Add a route to 224.0.0.0/4 through your network interface

could you go in the view menu, messages, start the stream again and send us a copy of the log ?

You have to go to the preferences, video tab, chack "advanced", and select the adjust filter.

save, restart your video

Then, in the modules tab, video filter, select adjust, and change your settings there

However, there must be a way to have VLC use the right chroma directly...

Well, most users prefer mailing lists as a way of communication. You can ask your questions to

vlc-devel@videolan.org (or vls-devel@videolan.org)

try uncompressing the file before use.

Then, use CTRL + S and select the corresponding "theme.xml"

try deleting your vlcrc file. It it located somewhere in your Document and settins forder. (sorry not to be more precise)

Well, dvb streamin is only well supported under linux.

Under windows, it might be possible with a direct show compatible board...

Hello,

0 = tuner
1 = composite
2 = svideo

Well, unforunatelly, things are a bit different with ivtv drivers than with bttv based cards...

On pvr250, 4 is used for TV, lower values for composite, upper for svideo (or the opposite, cannot remember
