Thanks. Success finally ! Streaming on the http inteface worked with the following syntax :- h**p://x.x.x.x:8080/requests/status.xml?command=in_play&input=C:\dream\Video1.mpg&option=sout%3D%23transcode%7Bvcodec%3Dmp2v%2Cvb%3D800%2Cacodec%3Dmp2a%2Cab%3D128%2Cchannels%3D2%2Csamplerate%3D0%7D%3...

So - it is not possible to do http remote control with vlc 2.x ?

It is very important for linux stb users who stream media via vlc to their box (and to tv).

Will you please do another ticket ?

Thanks in advance.

After that command - what else needs to be done ?

I tried on the browser

http://127.0.0.1:8080

it did not work.

Solution does not work - with me also.

Any other suggestion from experts - please ?

Ticket is
http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/6494

It seems the ticket is closed ! I do not understand the reason. What is the solution ?

Thanks. I will ticket this during weekend.

Hi,

I cannot find any ticket on this yet. Please do not forget this problem.

Hi, I have also this sout string problem. This is what I found. I open windows browser IE and insert this url :- h**p://192.168.1.64:8080/requests/status.xml?command=in_play&input=C:/dream/Video1.mpg -> plays ok with vlc 1.1.9 h**p://192.168.1.64:8080/requests/status.xml?command=in_play&inpu...

No comment ?

Is it a vlc problem ?

samplerate=0 ? That can't be good.

I tried this :-

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:file{dst=C:\\Documents and Settings\\*****\\Desktop\\test.ts} :sout-all :sout-keep

Streams only sound. No video !

Hi, With vlc 1.1.0 - I can can play locally (for example) this video from myvideo.de :- http://is4.myvideo.de/de/movie15/24/7779506.flv But It does not stream - even to a file - using sout configuration as this (for example) :- :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=1000,venc=ffmpeg{strict-rc=1},width=720,...

Yes, that is the problem. My connection is about 800 kbps. The video is about 900 kbps.

Thanks for replying !

Cheers, pcd.

Works fine in VLC 1.0.5 I tried vlc 1.0.5 now. It starts buffer 1% ....99% - then shows video for a few seconds - video stops and starts buffering again - then shows video again. I doubled the cache for mms from default 5700 to 11000 - still the same result. I have used vlc 1.0.5 as installed - wit...

Hi, I tried to play some svt videos with vlc 1.0.1 - without success. The video plays for a few second then stops - the web stream continues. Example link :- http://media.svt.se/download/mcc/vision/kluster/20100510/PG-1135342-007A-ANNASEVIGA2010-01.asx I shall be grateful for any advice. Regards, pcd.

Hello, I transcode media files using vlc streaming to a file on pc. Is it possible to know if the streaming has ended by querying (possibly by Request) ? I give the transcode commands by http. After the streaming ends I need to copy the resulting file to another location. This is why I need to know ...

You can easily save YouTube videos with the Firefox Video Downloadhelper extension.

Thank you - it worked very well. Also installed the converter - which converts flv to mpg in very quick time !

Thanks, pcd.

I tried this command :-

C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRLZfgcsOKQ :de
mux=dump :demuxdump-file=C:\dream\test1.mpg

C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>

vlc starts but nothing happens.

Hello, Using Windows XP Professional. I can stream a video from a file to another file with vlc 1.01 (with and without transcoding). But when I try to stream a YouTube video to a file on pc (even without transcoding) - the video plays locally - with no streaming to file. The file remains at 0 bytes....

Hi Bob, It can be done - but in the plugin the commands like 'play' have to be changed to 'pl_playid' etc for vlc 0.9.8. The command syntax are given in the vlc program folder in /http/requests and readme. I managed to make a YoutubeplayerE1 plugin for enigma1 usable with vlc 0.9.8 (see here) :- htt...

YoutubeplayerE1. It works ok with vlc 0.8.6a. I was trying to make it usable with vlc 0.9.8.

Please see my last post. It was a mistake in the code !

Sorry - silly mistake - /HTTP/1.0 should be HTTP/1.0 !

Please ignore post.

Hi, I am trying to use vlc 0.9.8a for streaming media to a Dreambox satellite receiver with a plugin in the receiver. With vlc 0.8.6a everything is fine. With the 0.9.8a the vlc can be controlled - I can stop, pause and play a file with dst=:9090/dboxstream. I can see the streaming continue (i.e the...

Hi, I can at present stream and play media files stored on the pc hdd on the tv via a set top box (dreambox) using cifs. Dreambox with cifs can only play .ts format, therefore for other formats like mpg, divx etc, I use vlc to transcode to a .ts file on pc before playing 'on the fly' on tv. The prob...
