If you have money, hire or subcontract someone, really. Heh, since last summer I've been trying to pursuade the powers that be let me spend a few months on this now that the spec is out. Sadly this is one area when open source is as damaging as helpful in that they now have the impression that it w...

Is this (fixes to RTMP output) still planned for 1.2? I ask because this is something I've been wanting for the past several years so that I can finially ditch my windows encoding boxes and so would be interesting in testing this.

Nice to see some participation by BM :) Sadly I've had to put this project on hold for the moment but I was able to hack something together based on the Capture application in the SDK to throw the rawvideo to stdout and pipe that into VLC to display it. I've still no idea how to proceed on muxing th...

Another update on this. It seems the Blackmagic driver has a conflict with NVIDIA drivers and I had to totally remove the NVIDIA driver to get things working. Tested with 185 (no capture) and 173 (capture but xorg hits 100% CPU utilisation). Now the Capture app outputs rawvideo and I was able to pla...

Quick update. I cant get the BM Intensity pro to work under Linux 9.10 at all for me (Windows is fine so it isn't hardware). I've played about with some of the code in the SDK and its failing on deckLinkInput->StartStreams() so I suspect their are a few niggles to be worked out. Now for what I think...

Hi Chris. The Decklink SDI card does not work with V4L2 (v4l2) and thus VLC. In fact, no Blackmagic cards work with V4L2— and are not expected to, ever, until/unless that company gets over their attachment to Binary Blobs. Unfortunately, BM does not make clear on its website that its cards do not w...

I installed a different capture card and tried again with version 1.0.0.1 but still had problems capturing audio and video (I could get audio this time but not video - logged errors were different). I then downgraded again to 0.9.9a and was able to get everything working within a few minutes. I'm go...

Hello morphemass, there is one thing I forgot to mention in my previous post. In order to have video (even without audio) I have to add width and height after the video device, like this vlc v4l2:///dev/video0:width=720:height=576 using v4l-{width,height} has no effect. I have tried the equivalent ...

I'm having HUGE problems with VLCs new audio recording architecture so I have no idea if this will work but....why not set up pulseaudio to stream your speakers audio via RTP (I *think* its RTP, not at a linux box to look at it atm) and then use VLC (or any other recording application that can acces...

Perversely I just downgraded to 0.9.9a and there I now have audio but no video. Upgraded to 1.0.0.1 again and same there....I cant seem to get video to work now because the audio is being captured. I've tried removing the .cache files....next step, downgrading the PC to a toaster via use of sledgeha...

Well I'm getting somewhere; the command "vlc alsa://hw:0,0" allows me to play the current line-in audio (and I can record it using the record button) HOWEVER that command and variants such as "vlc alsa://", "vlc --input-slave=alsa://" ALL result in the vlc interface com...

Okay I am still having trouble with this - the command I am using is simply : vlc -vvv v4l2:// :v4l2-dev=/dev/video0 :v4l2-width=720 :v4l2-height=576 :v4l2-fps=25 :v4l2-input=2 :v4l2-standard=5 :v4l2-adev=/dev/dsp :input-slave=alsa:// But this results in a VERY long start up time and broken video. N...

Hello, I've used input-slave directive to capture oss audio with a command like this vlc 'v4l2://:v4l2-dev=/dev/analogtv:v4l2-standard=2' :input-slave=oss:///dev/tvdsp where /dev/analogtv is a symbolic link to /dev/video0 and /dev/tvdsp is a symbolic link to /dev/dsp1. The problem is that the video...

I'm hoping for some hints as to where the problem may lay here. I'm capturing video from a generic video capture card (this works fine, Im on Ubuntu Jaunty BTW) and TRYING to capture sound from one of the motherboards audio inputs (Gigabyte EX58-UD5). When I pop headphones in I can hear the audio. I...

We're working on high-def streaming atm but in the early stages. Lucky you that money isnt a consideration - tons of options out there with streaming appliances - I've no experience with them because the cost of a single unit is about what we are looking at for a complete 4 camera system ;) Anyways,...

Thanks for those links jp - I threw the idea of our putting a few man months into this to upper-management and it was prioritised in the downwards direction *sigh* Maybe over summer

Where/when is the RTMP spec then? Theres a good possibility we could throw some manpower/cash at this since its functionality we need - it would be interesting to look at the spec to get a better idea of the work involved..... Ahhhh to answer my own question www.adobe.com/devnet/rtmp/ and "firs...

RTMP output doesn't work yet.

Ahhhhh thanks, that explains it then. It IS however listed in the patch notes for changes between 0.8.6i and 0.9.0 (RTMP output, http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/NEWS) hence my expectant experimentation

Anyone?

I was given to understand that RTMP output is now possible but I have been struggling with an initial experiment to stream to a Flash Media Server (basically I am trying to replace Flash Media Live Encoder in our setup for a Linux based encoder). Have I misunderstood the situation? If not could some...
