I have tried, and tried and tried. Tried different source trees, lots of different versions of the lib packages, cygwin tools. Here is the latest. When I run the scripts I get an error that directs me to a configure.log. The pertinent part appears to be : configure:2417: $? = 0 configure:2419: gcc -...

I am trying to build the VLC media player from the sources. When I run my configure_it scripts I get the following error: Cant find libdvdread header files. My configure_it script is ./bootstrap && CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml -I/usr/win32/include/dvdread -I/...

If you are speaking of the delay for a "live" streaming such as trying to stream live video from a camera. I am looking at that right now. It seems that there is a 1.5 second buffer hard coded in some of the source files. I am trying to build the sources and them find out what may be done....

Great explanations, Just poor execution on my part. Much, Much appreciation. Dan

Please follow the post where I and zcot are having this very discussion. My user name is DanBrwn, I am the one with the problem so don't follow my posts, pay attention to zcot's. http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=12309&highlight= refers to correct versions of GCC and the contrib packages...

Thank You So MUCH! I was completely lost but now can see some sunlight. Your other post ( http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=12265&highlight=) combined with this one is extremely helpful. I will only respond to specifics as relates to this post here but any who are lost as I am should als...

Sorry, I didn't understand exactly what you were doing. If you are opening a file on your own computer, then no port will be used. This appears to be the case for you. In my case I am sending the file to another computer (PDA) and must use a TCP/IP port (connection). Hope I didn't cause to much conf...

I have tried every thing I can find on how to build these source files. Absolutely nothing suggested will work as described. I get to the build process where several documents tell me that the scripts below will produce for me the necessary files to run make on and "voila" all will work gr...

Have no idea if this might be related but, on my pocket pc unit I have to change the port number some times. Its like its not getting freed up sometimes. Try just changing the port you are sending and receiving on?

The buffering code appears to be in the stream_output.c file here starting at line 555. if( p_mux->i_add_stream_start >= 0 && p_mux->i_add_stream_start + I64C(1500000) < p_buffer->i_dts ) { /* Wait until we have more than 1.5 seconds worth of data * before start muxing */ p_mux->b_waiting_st...

Im with you now. From what I can see, you may either compile the drivers (dll's) within the application or leave them within the plugins directory. I think that whoever has compiled the pocket pc version has done a minimal set of drivers (WMV1,WMV2) and compiled them statically into the executable, ...

Would like to see the stream out allow user selectable buffering amount. Right now I think it is hard coded for 1.5 seconds in the stream_output.c file here starting at line 555. if( p_mux->i_add_stream_start >= 0 && p_mux->i_add_stream_start + I64C(1500000) < p_buffer->i_dts ) { /* Wait unt...

:?: So now I know a little more about what I think I should be doing. Please, Someone with some experience at all in using the GNU tools respond. I am trying to compile the sources with cygwin and the bash shell. I have followed the instructions above and have not had success. I get all kinds of err...

I have found in the source code where the delay is. It is designed / hard coded for a 1.5 second delay in sout_muxSendBuffer() in stream_output.c . My only trouble is that I don't know all of the GNU tools for compiling / building the source. I am trying to work through it but I come from a Windows ...

Are there any setup options which will allow the removal of the 1.5 seconds of buffering to the output stream. I am trying to capture live video and display it in semi real time to a client. I always end up with this buffering. I really need something closer to real time. I have the source and all a...

I am having a very difficult time setting up my environment to compile the VLC sources. I have followed the suggestions at http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/CygwinCompileEnvironmentRevB.pdf. I know absulutely nothing about the Cygwin environment, less about the bash shell etc... etc... I am a Windo...

I say again. It has been my experience that no codecs work on the pocket pc except the WMV1 and 2. I am attempting to recompile and try other codecs (mjpeg for me). I just don't think the version you and I have supports any other file types. Try transcoding the mp4 file to WMV1 or 2 and them stream ...

First, I have just began to experiment with the VLC media player about a week ago. Here is my suggestion. Read, Read, Read. Try to set up the media player to play a simple file without the wizard. Pay close attention to the command line that is created while you click different things. The media pla...

Judging from my experience so far, to play a file it must be a WMV1 or 2 file. So I would guess that you need to transcode the .ts file to a WMV1 or 2 file for playing.

I have gotten VLC to stream to a pocket PC 2003 using the Pocket PC version. It seems that the only codec supported on this build is WMV1 and WMV2. You must transcode to one of these two codecs for your video. I want to compile a version with MJPeg but haven't gotten that far yet. I think the compil...

What does "won't read my files" mean? Try setting the debugging log on in the Settings->Add Interface->Debug Logging menu item. It will give you specific messages. May tell you what is wrong.

>>--udp-caching 0 Tried this, upd-caching can't really be set to zero however. The source allows 1 or greater only, still setting to 1 really has no noticeable effect anyway. >>there are many caching settings for the various protocols and inputs, >>outputs..[/quote] Are there any that will result in...

The command line syntex is similar to yours, the thing that I think you are missing is the transcoding portion. I have not been able to send anything without transcoding it. I have tried but it is apparently necessary. Add something like this for your sout section: ':sout=#transcode{vcodec=WMV2, vb=...
