Re: Youtube videos on VLC

Excellent, the new youtube.lua fixes the slow data transfer! :)

Re: [Chromecast with Google TV] 2160p 4K x265 H.265 bad playback performance

It's a program for PC/Mac with a free trial. It can cast H.265 to CCwGT without reencoding (they call it "native playback").

Re: [Chromecast with Google TV] 2160p 4K x265 H.265 bad playback performance

Hopefully the VLC devs will address this in the GitLab issue I opened (link above) :)
A "workaround" is to cast the file from the airflow.app which also confirms CCwGT hardware supports decoding this.

Re: vlc does not play youtube videos

In practice, what would the severity be if used on a trusted network as a workaround until a youtube.lua fix comes?
Is there a way to completely disable cookies instead then?

Re: Youtube videos on VLC

I found an easier workaround :D Tools -> Preferences -> Show settings: All -> Input/Codecs -> Access modules -> HTTPS -> uncheck Cookies forwarding

[Chromecast with Google TV] 2160p 4K x265 H.265 bad playback performance

I'm unable to playback 4K MKVs via SMB - the performance is really bad, lots of dropped frames and slowdowns. (This is with the default "Hardware Acceleration" set to "Automatic". None of the other options improve the situation, however.) The same file plays great when casting fr...

Re: YouTube links no longer working

No, it doesn't need to be compiled. Most YT links work for me, but some don't. The guys at http://www.downloadhelper.net/ also had to fix their FX extension, perhaps some code can be ported from there.

Re: YouTube links no longer working

You're correct, it seems some kind of session has to be initiated, then the second item will play. So the fix is not complete yet.

Re: Streaming to Sony Ericsson mobile phones without DSS

To reply to myself: :P Upgrading to the latest dev version of vlc helped! Now the command line code from my previous post works! :) And as a bonus, here's my DSS uninstall script: rm -f /usr/local/sbin/DarwinStreamingServer rm -f /usr/local/bin/PlaylistBroadcaster rm -f /usr/local/bin/MP3Broadcaster...

Re: Vlc + DSS streaming to p990

Note: If you have Apache on port 80, you can try running DSS on port 8080 (and 544). It works for me! :)

Streaming to Sony Ericsson mobile phones without DSS

Many newer SE phones support RTSP and AAC in their media player software. Sadly this player does not support listening to Shoutcast streams, so I figured I can convert the Shoutcast MP3/AAC HTTP streams to AAC RTSP streams on my server and listen to them on my mobile phone (SE W880). The problem is ...
