The VideoLAN Forums

Ok here's my configuration. I have a dedicated server that's set using the latest VLC 0.8.6b and have it streaming using the defaults. I don't enter in an IP address or a name for the HTTP stream names because that locks it up (tried on allot of computers, maybe you just can't simply add in DNS or I...

i'm gonna guess that true sync with videolan isn't possible.

damn friggin shame, lemme tell ya.

even for my own private reasons.

if i can do it with quake3/quake2, it should be damn possible with vlc.

i decided to go back to simple, with an mp3 before going to troubleshoot video. the netsync module is definitely loading on the clients and the server, server's commandline has the ip address (it's a multi-homed machine) for the netsync master. :sout=#transcode{acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:duplica...

i've tried everything. it's not working right. it'll connect, but i get these weird VOB errors in the messages display. without the --extraintf it's fine, but totally no sync. is it because it's a multi-homed server? i fire up a win32 server with the extra switches, then load a file and set streams....

You need to use another instance of VLC acting as client in order to use the syncing mechanism

that's what threw me off.

thanks!

this is great, thanks! (never knew this was in there.) let me make sure i get this right, because i'm not sure how this module works inside vlc or how to verify that it's working right i fire up the streaming server i fire up another instance of vlc on the same server with nothing but --netsync-mast...

where's that module?

i saw a checkbox in streamout_transcode with "synchronize on audio track" but that didn't do it.

I have a nice, phat comp for serving the stream and encoding whatever. I have different computers (most laptops), different OS's. I want to perfectly sync the video, even if it means pre-buffering allot. They always seem to slip a bit between computers, is there a way to stop that? i'm using http, a...

ah ok.

i didn't think to read over the todo/wishlist, my fault.

i like in totem how it positions the subtitles, in widescreen it's always in the "black"/null border around the movie, i'm trying to do the same with vlc on debian. i've tried changing the Y position in all the text renderer settings, is there somewhere else that can be used like (max -y) ...

this build is the only one that doesn't crash on my w2k dualie when trying to direct stream an off-the-shelf dvd. this one is great. btw, i use something called dvdIdle which basically catches the access from an app to a device and caches it in memory/disk. i found it because i was using an old dvd-...

i use serviceinstaller or files off of nt4 reskit. ServiceInstaller from KC Multimedia (google it, free) SRVANY.EXE and INSTSRV.EXE (free, MS) (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q152460/) i haven't figured out the vlc as a service by it's own tools, so i just use that. i run it "underneith"....

what if vlc is a service? i have some code that will start/stop win32's services (using impersonation) from asp/aspx. (background vs forground priority on server is different). but i'd figure that you would set up channels and use "scraper code", where the web server performs "get&quo...

plase bear with me, i'm kinda tired. cliffnote verson is that media player classic seems to have received a shot in the arm for slower hardware and i can't figure out what happened, i handle some real older systems; my thatre comp is a p3 500, w2k voodoo3, i usually run powerdvd on it, some laptops ...

1st of all VLC rocks. Yea it's not as fast as PowerDVD on some machines and dx and some vid drivers, but it's the best overall client I've ever seen that runs on mimum hardware. I've been trying forever to hunt through the documentation on how to set up a simple relay server. client/origin is on a v...

well it still does it.

not lockups, but hard pauses. dunno why, but i'm happy with it on other computers.

does it no matter what codec, source, etc.

First, awesome program. It works great on every computer I have, i recommend it strongly. I checked out this thread: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=873#873 but it's not what's happening to me, rather I tried switching audio, etc. The symptoms are: just sometimes it stops playing, some mov...
