The VideoLAN Forums

Hello,
I've got a list of separate RTSP stream sources, like rtsp://www.example.com/file1.mp4, rtsp://www.example.com/file2.mp4, rtsp://www.example.com/file3.mp4

Would it be possible to create a playlist of these rtsp files and then re-stream the result as one uninterrupted stream?

The error LibVLC has detected an unusable buggy GNU/libc version. Please update to version 2.8 or newe simply means your vlc was compiled against an incompatibe libc. Solve it by recompiling vlc. Go to this post about compiling vlc for an indepth disucssion of how to get this right. The post also te...

I've got trouble with JW Player as well. First sound only and the play-icon, if I press it, the video starts. But it seems as if JW Player just downloads a segment and later on messes up.
And the guys from JW Player don't really understand that vlc does indeed stream stuff, I think...

I reserve --disabling as last resort, but would like to get the contribs complete.

No idea how to circumvent the "'PANGO_GRAVITY_AUTO" error (or what triggers it) that breaks my contribs system run?

Already did that, libtiger tested for "PANGOCAIRO" and died there until I made:

apt-get install libcairo2 libcairo2-dev
apt-get install libpango1.0-0 libpango1.0-dev

Anything wrong with that? See what Etch provides.

Building vlc with the contribs system on Debian Etch runs through after a lot of tweaks until I am finally out of wit when libtiger tells me: checking for KATE... yes checking for PANGOCAIRO... configure: error: Package requirements (pangocairo >= 0.16) were not met: No package 'pangocairo' found Co...

This forum post expects vlc to be able to pass dynamic environment variables to the streamout via variables, e.g. --marq-marquee="$N" . Now, is it possible to do the same for ASF? Adding --sout-asf-title "Now playing: $N" to a vlc command does not work, the $N gets replaced by <...

Following this vlc compile guide , I was able to build a stripped down vlc 1.1.0 on my Debian Etch system today! Jay! :D And/or: There might be no need to build yourself: Grendelman.net states to provide a 0.9.8a package via sipo.nl . I may be too stupid to use aptitude but firing "aptitude -t ...

1. Why are you transcoding the stream on the relay-server side again? It should be sufficient to just remux via mux=asf or mux asfh (asf/asfh depends on vlc version, i think) 2. I am getting the same "cannot create packetizer output (WMV2)" on a 9.8.6a Janus vlc... Can anyone reading this ...

Got the same segfault with 0.8.6.a Janus on Debian, while streaming a .asf-only playlist with #gather:std... and --sout-keep

Any progress/solution on this thread/topic?

@Rémi Denis-Courmont:
as you seem to know: would explicitely using ffmpeg, for example venc=ffmpeg{fps=12}, solve this and force/enable vlc to do the fps modification?

You need to somehow to trick vlc into acting as a listening relay server, as from kdh's thread: vlc.exe udp://@:8777 --sout-mux-caching 45000 --sout "#standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=127.0.0.1:9070}" --intf rc what works. Anyway, I have a related problem, and am too much of a noob to fully...

Have you tried m3u playlists? Save it to a seperate file and start vlc with ...had never any problems with it.

except for the fact VLC 1.0.1 does not reduce the FPS as requested

I've seen this, that vlc seems to ignore fps settings, as well. Can someone from the developers please explain, or post a bug report?

Did you solve it? Please share.

Any progress on this thread? Please share.

@cable007: could you please post example command? Your working command?

I see many threads regarding streaming and relaying via Darwin /DSS, can someone fill me in why?
What is it that vlc can't and Darwin can??

Could you please post the whole command set, for the feeding vlc and the relaying vlc?
Thanks.

To explain the above: what you need is 1. The option --sout-keep to keep the output open continuusly. 2. :gather The "gather" module (see the docs for that). Put it into your sout command: "--sout "#gather:transcode{vcod...". But be prepared that it somethimes is the cause f...

Short answer: I don't know (someone having done it should help us!) Long answer: I think you need to look into what their supplied software does and where it sends the outgoing stream - and then try to replicate this with vlc... Or simply use the software (if not avoidable) but feed it with vlc. Ple...

Using the command: vlc.exe udp://@:8777 --sout-mux-caching 45000 --sout "#standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=127.0.0.1:9070}" --intf rc I had success using a daemonized vlc as stream relay for ts muxed streams. Now, using this knowledge, so far I wasn't able to relay asf streams - can anyone ...
