Same problem but with Oupree HD400 card (http://www.oupree.com/OPR-HD400-Quad-10 ... -Card.html).

Reverting back to 2.1.5 until this is fixed.

Hello, I see the thread is old but I just wanted to answer so that this can help others who come around this thread. To play a playlist (or multiple files) in VLC, you need to use "gather" as the first option in your --sout chain, and you also need to put in --sout-keep in the command. So,...

I think I may have fixed the problem. I'm not sure but it hasn't frozen in a day now. Two things I did: 1) Added "file-caching=1000" as a sout option, this means that the pipe is now being buffered for 1 second 2) Re-created the stub file because the dimensions (DAR, Display Aspect Ratio) ...

Hello everyone, I'm running an VLM instance (VLC 2.0.7 -- 2.0.5+git20130512+r572) on Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm having a problem with "main error: cannot pre fill buffer" message. My setup is kind of different, however. I have 2 inputs: myPipe.fifo and videoStub.ts. The VLM element is setup to l...

Hi Mika85, If it is a network problem, the best way to troubleshoot it is to run some sort of traffic sniffer on your computer. Unfortunately, this is easier to do on a Linux OS than on Windows, unless you're doing Wireshark, which would be too low-level. Another possibility is that this might be a ...

Hello @pk21x, You can install nightly build by adding VLC repository to Ubuntu (if you have 12.04/12.10/13.04): http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/vlc-2-0-6-released-with-boatload-of-bug-fixes I'm having same problem with sat channels, as well, a lot of "00 motion_type" errors and "ac...

Having same problem with same card, except I'm going through tvheadend and seeing discontinuity problems that result in this. It only happens with certain provider and I found an earlier post in another forum where some guy found out it's the scrambling being done with ODD key or something. Some hel...

Hello everyone,

I just downloaded VLC 2.1 (from nightly builds) and when I go to FILE > OPEN (Capture Tab) I do not see the capture card dropdown anymore.

Has this been removed from version 2.1 or placed somewhere else? I have an Osprey 460e that works fine with VLC up to 2.0.5.

Thank you

Can this be used for VLM playlists?

I'm having the exact same problem and I would appreciate any help how to fix this please

Thank you in advance.

Hi Joe,

You need to put "gather" before "transcode", then it should work.

Hello flako, The way you know whether the stream is dead is by running a "wget" command on the stream. I don't have the code with me but it's done in Shell and what you do is you run "wget" on the stream for 2-3 seconds and if the result is 0-byte file then you know it's a dead s...

You should download G-spot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/). It's the bomb!

Dude, check out SMplayer or another open-source player. You know, VLC is not the only player out there.

Seems like you're trying to reinvent HLS (Apple's HTTP Live Stream format). As far as I know, VLC does not support encoding HLS streams as of yet. Google "mediasegmenter" to see how to do it in another solution.

Hope this helps.

Hi XanoX02, Yes, you can use VLC's built-in effects by pressing CTRL+E on your keyboard and then selecting the "Video Effects" tab. You can try the effects there but if you mean to fix quality of pirated movies, I don't think there's anything that can fix that except going to the movies to...

You cannot :) Reason being that Netflix uses MS Silverlight protocol and VLC hasn't implemented Silverlight yet. Silverlight is Microsoft's attempt to take over Adobe Flash RTMP. I hope VLC start to plan support for Silverlight in the future but seeing as how Silverlight is so bound by DRM protecti...

Hello Earl, Seems like an issue with the VLC streaming side. Before you initiate streaming, can you please type CTRL + M and open up the "Messages" box, then set level 2. You will start seeing what VLC is doing in the background and feel free to post up the results here (or on pastebin.com...

It would help if you actually showed us the code you're using. It could very well be a misconstructed command.

For some reason, the "loop" parameter didn't help in my case. The streaming server wouldn't go down but the stream would stop on VLM and no reconnect attempts were showing on the logs. I tried it with 1.x version, haven't tried with 2.x.

live-caching and sout-mux-caching don't help, I am still getting many "stream_out_transcode stream out debug: drift is too high, resetting master sync " messages From my experience, those errors show up because CPU is not able to keep up with input. My suggestion is to tweak the transcode...

Thanks for the link, vel_tins, I appreciate it. I also understand Jean-Baptiste's point about Wowza.

However, can someone tell me how many simultaneous connections can VLC stream? Besides network capacity, what would be the bottleneck?

Thanks!

As far as I know, VLC doesn't yet support streaming out in HLS format. It can decode the format somewhat (maybe reading has improved recently) but I'm not sure you can create HLS streams.
