The VideoLAN Forums

Thanks. I appreciate your feedback. Our first interest is to gain the input/feedback from current maintainers of the project. As the community interaction is important as well as their views. Attorneys can make cases for and against anything. So we want to make sure our "layman" interpreta...

We have developed a multimedia application which in and by itself is fully functional. It streams, catalogs, transcodes, etc. It is not open source, but it is free, no buying, etc. Just download and use. We have developed a plugin architecture whereby plugins can be loaded to add additional function...

is it possible to achieve both writing the SDP out, as well as set for rtsp?

meaning currently I do ... sdp=rtsp://xxxx:xxx/myfile.sdp, which is perfect, allows my rtsp clients to connect. but i also need a copy of the SDP for other purposes.

Thanks
Shawn

Nevermind - needed to specify my codec BEFORE specifying the venc=ffmpeg...

I am running latest VLC 1.0.3... when running any kind of transcode whereby I specify -> venc=ffmpeg{...}

I get in the log - no encoder module matching "ffmpeg" could be loaded

For windows, do i need to compile my own VLC with ffmpeg, I had thought this was done by default.

Shawn

Since VLC does not natively support reducing framerate (say I have a video at 25fps and want to stream 3gp at 7 fps)... I am trying to use the "venc=ffmpeg" option. When I do, VLC accepts it, so i know its not a problem. but it does not look as though it is passing in the needed fps parama...

What was your resolution to this problem?

Shawn

I am attempting to have VLC server an RTSP stream. Works. Then I am trying to play that same RTSP stream, and seek within it. I had read TRICKPLAY is supported within the RTSP stack and since 1.0.0 been implemented in VLC. Yet, when watching the stream, no seeking, nor positioning, nor speedup optio...

could I then make VLC use FFMPEG to do the encoding? as ffmpeg does provide framerate reduction/specifity

Shawn

Im actually running with no display setup initially as IntPtr.Zero.. It was doing a transcode session.

Wasnt sure if i should, as it is 100% reproducable and the logs is quite lengthy, just because of the process flow.

I will reproduce and post a link on my website to d/l the log.

I have been using the VideoLan Interop on VLC 1.0.0,1.0.1 and now 1.0.2... When trying to .DISPOSE on the PLAYER object, AFTER it has ended, the hangds in the COM layer. This occurs as in the Dispose method of the player, it calls .STOP, no matter the current state. Not sure how to (a) submit recomm...

We are using VLC to stream content in multiple formats from a single source. Basically the process is create a WMV stream of our content locally. The spawn child (other streams) which use that stream as the source. So in the end, we may have 5 different streams all based off the 1st "source str...

anyone?

i tried, just keeps puking on me...any chance someone could show me?

As a matter of note, in case anyone else is trying to stream multiple WMV files as 1 stream, I have been able to somewhat get it working.... If i point to a locally created .ASX file as the source, it works, kinda. It plays the first file, then about 5 seconds before the end of the first, it pauses/...

Here is the M3U: #EXTM3U #EXTINF:0,SkatingBabies C:\ffmpeg\SkatingBabies.wmv #EXTINF:0,tbcopy C:\ffmpeg\tbcopy.wmv Here is debug out trying to play M3U: It destroys the defined sout for mmsh?? -- logger module started -- main debug: using interface module "logger" main debug: TIMER module_...

Additionally, converting the file directly with ffmpeg works, both audio and video out just fine. C:\ffmpeg>ffmpeg -i tvout.wmv -vcodec wmv2 -acodec wmav2 -r 15 ffout.wmv FFmpeg version SVN-r18639, Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Fabrice Bellard, et al. configuration: --enable-memalign-hack --prefix=/mingw ...

I have encountered another issue bug with VLC 1.0.1 Currently I am using Windows Directshow to write out live TV to a WMV. The filter uses the standard ASF Writer. In doing so, it write the WMV out with WMA 9.2 Codec. Now when I open the file to play on screen with VLC, i see video, and I hear audio...

Ok, I have run into an issue whereby I am trying to stream a .M3U file over ASF. The M3u containus 2 videos, in wmv format. The command I am using: vlc -I dummy c:\test.m3u --sout-keep --loop :sout=#transcode{width=128,height=96,vcodec=WMV2,vb=300,fps=5,acodec=wma2,ab=48,channels=2,samplerate=22050}...

I have been trying to setup a HTTP stream for progressive download. Silverlight supports seeking and such when a WMV is simply provided as a progressive download, allowing for "range" requests. I have not been able to come up with something that works. I have tried: vlc -I dummy c:\movies\...

Actually the eventing to which you denote in your post are the events from the "player". Meaning the events are signaled as media is played/stopped/etc. It does not correllate to the connections which may occur on the stream. For example, we start up say 10 various streams. We do at the ti...

I dont believe you will find a way to bring that down too much. The issue is not with VLC or WOWZA, but with how the iPhones handle HTTP streaming. They must first "buffer in" "x" amount of stream before playback. If your segmenting is set at 10 seconds, then you will find most l...

I am utilzing VLC to stream multiple formats. What I am looking for somehow, is any notification for when a client connects and disconnects from a stream.

Currently I am using VideoLan.Interop as a base for the code, but open to suggestions.

Thanks
