it looks like you might need to compile VLC yourself with the pvr module (i don't know if its compiled in the default builds). I was compiling stuff for most of the day yesterday after I decided I couldn't rely on the default builds. I did make sure to include --enable-pvr. To sort of answer my own...

well to transcode a video you first need to decode it. Else you won't have anything to encode ... which might be a problem. Ok. I thought so - was just making sure as I might have misunderstood. At any rate - I've fixed those .so errors now, but still can't seem to play things from /dev/video0 yet....

Oops - I also meant to ask.. since I am transcoding the video on the fly prior to streaming, rather than streaming the input directly, don't I need to be able to decode?

[00000347] main private warning: cannot load module `/usr...

VLC isn't receiving any data from it's input. so the input settings you have specified don't do the trick. Reason unknown. You should try to get local playback running before doing things like streaming, transcoding etc. (1 step at a time approach) Sounds logical and that's certainly what it looks ...

Hi all, I'm using VLC to stream video over the internet. I can record to mpeg using the standard ivtv tools and then stream the resulting mpeg over - and it works beautifully. I just can't seem to do it directly from /dev/video0 - it gets to the part about 'main private debug: pre buffering' and the...
