The VideoLAN Forums

In the Youtube app, when I press the cast button I have a list of like 5 devices here, and one of them is the TV I want to target. VLC only shows 2 devices, and not the one I want to cast to.

I don't see how that would make a picture in picture (mosaic) to send on the network stream? Is there some sample code for such a thing?

think can I add something like ? setup output vmem setup output vmem-lock=X setup output vmem-unlock=X I guess that wouldn't give me events though; and i need those just as much... been browsing through the sources; would have thought that vlm would use the same primitives as media_player, and it do...

I got a list of output modules, vmem is a 'memory output' not a video output, so that doesn't work. the dummy interface is actually 'vdummy' tried Vvdummy , but that somehow ended up being the same as -Vdummy, and no output. I tried wingdi, and it makes a popup like the direct3d. I tried a combinati...

Then I get no display popup, but I get no display. The network stream is being sent (with no video, connected a remote to it, and saw the video stream playing)

-Vdummy does not open the directshow window, but I don't get any callbacks. The VLM has a execute method that it uses to handle the vlm-conf parameter.... I could make these commands generate later? Maybe it's because the vlm is initializing its whole operation before I get to finish setting up call...

Okay; I also learned I wasn't getting a media_player_t; I was using media player from media, and in this mode, I don't pass a media... don't know if that is the fix, but am missing a large chunk of setup.

Yes. It also works when launched via libvlc loading, but it creates a seperate display window. command line is basically vlc -I dummy -vvv --fullscreen --no-audio --no-osd --video-x=%d --video-y=%d --width=%d --height=%d --mosaic-width=%d --mosaic-height=%d --mosaic-keep-picture --vlm-conf rtpserver...

I have a script that creates a picture-in-picure of two capture devices..... new channel1 broadcast enabled\n" ); setup channel1 input dshow://\n" ); setup channel1 option dshow-vdev=\"Osprey-100e Video Device 1\"\n" ); setup channel1 option dshow-video-input=0\n" ); se...

What I want to do is take two VLC input streams into two seperate vmem buffers, mix them into a third buffer, and use a vlc instance to serve that over the network. This is somewhat similar to screen capture... and I suppose I could just configure the other instance to read from the screen what I'm ...

uhh no, the movie i was playing was 352x240, and it returns 640,480 which is the size I passed to setformat. I know what the documentation says... but that's not what I get back. I guess duing the first frame lock I can get the size, but, again, it's the size of setformat not the original stream sou...

Well, although the option exists and saves a value (in 1.2.0 nightly git build), it doesn't actually work....

Hmm okay it's in 1.2.0 - so I guess it's not in the branch...
I'm also not seeing tags like 1.1.4 for releases in Git... where should I find those?

it looks like this revision http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=commit;h=5af94ab9f6696cdf3caa48c5f3aeaa7e12842faf ( 9 Aug 2010) added the support to set tuner-standard; but it looks like 1.1.4 was built aug 27,2010; however if I search in vlc directory there is no reference of 'NTSC' which is a lit...

Uhmm in the dshow code there is a list ppsz_standards_list_text that has things like "NTSC_M", "PAL_D", etc... it also defines an option ... add_integer( CFG_PREFIX "tuner-standard", 0, NULL, STANDARD_TEXT, STANDARD_LONGTEXT, false ) change_integer_list( i_standards_lis...

I've gotten as far as ... **/ void InfoPanel::update( input_item_t *p_item) { .. fills the content of the info panel with stuff from p_item->pp_categories } I've tried to track back references to pp_categories, and found a list manager in input.c... but I can't find references to that to put the inf...

It works for you when? After you're already up? Because it returns the size you passed in setformat

So, this is still an issue? Can't set the format after the play starts? Can't start the video paused? Can't make a media_list and get information? vlc is able to show information about videos in its playlist... Tried this libvlc_media_parse but that just hangs... I used the event manager to hook to ...

:) I did ask in the mailing list - but I think sometimes that my comments get lost in git-commits :) so - it's been a while... how do I get the attention of someone working on vmem? does the swscaler always load even if the output is 1:1 of the input? (vlc-1.0.0-rc1 LOL it doesn't even remotely work...

My player, surface, and all commands to that surface are in the same thread. While it is very true that your display surface, and all commands you do to the video player must be in the same thread, this does not overcome the occasional libvlc_new() never return lockup... I should investigate this mo...

vlc_args[] += "--verbose=2"


?

In the case of the vs2005 application, windows is really really sensitive about the right thread getting messages associated with window handles... are you sure you're dispatching the _stop with the same thread you created the player with?

Yeah shutdown has occasionally been a bother... I do go through all players and issue stops, and then release all before exiting, and usually as long as I clean everything well, exit happens alright... sometimes, though, exit goes too far and some threads are not shut down correctly... The bigger is...

I was going to retract some, and say, mostly it's when I run under visual studio in debugging mode... but after I cleaned up some of my logging, the problem returned just a prevailantly without running in the debugger... there's no identifiable consistancy about when I can't create a libvlc_new() in...

Every once in a while, I'll create a new surface, create a new vlc_inst on it, and the libvlc_new() will never return. this is the sort of line I'm passing to libvlc_init --verbose=2 -I dummy --ignore-config --no-osd --noaudio --no-skip-frames --plugin-path=e:\tools\vlc-0.9.6\plugins --file-caching=...
