I activated verbosity level 2 in Message window and this is the info I get when try to move forward (it seems it gets stuck buffering at 36%). Is there any setting I can use in the server to avoid this problem? Log: main debug: control type=5 main warning: received buffer in the future main warning:...

Although it isn't what I was looking for... Tools -> Messages is able to show live logging...

In VLC 1.0.3 which is the location of the log file?
I am receiving an error and asked to check the log but I don't find it.

Thanks in advance,

Hi, I am testing VLC 1.0.3 as VOD streaming solution for home based on RTSP protocol. I am testing different clients and surprisingly just VLC 1.0.3 works as client. Other clients tat theoretically supports RTSP doesn't: WMP 9, WMP 11, WMP 12 (W7) and Quick Time 7.6.5 First thought was that those ot...

I think when using VLC as a server, it could be interesting to restart it and quit it from command line (telnet or web, via VLM command window).
Currently it seems there is just the option to play the tricky vlc://quit "play list".

Ok, so instead of sending a command from Web VLM Interface, I should play vlc://quit from Web Main VLC Interface.
Interesting... tested and it works.

Thanks,

Any help about how to investigate why it is not working for me? I have tested with different files using following codecs: XviD/MP3 and DivX 5/MP3. It doesn't work with any. BTW, the time line slider, doesn't progress with regular play. I have VLC 1.0.3 streaming VOD via RTSP on a WinXP Box and VLC ...

Ok. Does VLC 1.0.3 support forward with RTSP protocol? Just trying to figure out if I have a problem with my AVI files or it is a restriction of current version then.

Thanks,

Is there any commando to restart or quit VLC? I am trying to administer remotely VLC via web and there is a window to send commands to VLC. I searched the wiki for a list of commands but no luck. Is there any doc with a list of available commands? And to be more precise, any commands to restart and ...

Ok. After some more tests... the real problem is the % character. If the name includes that character VLC streaming the file will close.
How or where should I report a defect (in case you think this is an error and not a restriction)?

Thanks in advance,

Hi, I am using VLC 1.0.3 and I was trying to integrate VLC VOD solution with home web. When I create a VOD element named like: 24/Season%201/24%20S01E01.avi using rtsp:// protocol and I invoke it from a remote VLC client, VLC with VOD crashes and closes. Any idea? I searched the wiki and didn't find...

Found it: Tools -> VLM Configuration

Following the standard procedure... executing the EXE file and following indications. I selected Mozilla/Firefox checkbox.
BTW, I am using Windows XP SP2

Anything to look for in the manifest file?

Thanks,

Hi, I have been able to setup and run successfully Video on Demand with VLC 1.0.3 from Telnet and Web Interfaces. But I don't see how to setup it from GUI Interface. Any URL with some tips?

Thanks in advance,

Hi, I have VLC 1.0.3 ZIP distribution. Reading the docs at http://wiki.videolan.org/Windows#VLC_Plugin_for_Firefox_.28Mozilla.29 it seems it is possible install the plug-in manually: 1. Quit Firefox or Mozilla 2. Copy the two files in VLC_Installation_folder\mozilla (usually C:\Program Files\VideoLA...

Hi, is there any way to add media controls (pause, stop, etc...) to the plug-in? I am using 1.0.3 version. I haven't see how to do it at: http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:WebPlugin Or I have to develop my own HTML controlling VLC plug-in with JavaScript under the covers using playlist object? ...

Hi, I have installed VLC 1.0.3 on Windows XP selecting Mozilla/Firefox Plug-in. I open in Firefox 3.5.7 a testing HTML page with following code: <embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2" width="640&q...

Hi, I am experimenting with video streaming. I have VLC 1.0.3 and accessing via RTSP to a on-demand video (it has AVI extension). It works great but when I try to move forward (30 minutes forward for example), it tries something and then after a couple of seconds it stops and closes the movie. Is it...

As commented at the end of this post: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=56399 it could be nice if VLC could analyze automatically a list of directories adding automatically all media files found in them as vod elements. This scan could be also refreshed automatically so the vod medi...

Well, I thought that could be a Development Plan.... Anyway, I found at: http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/ch05.html that a configuration file with a list of commands could be provided to VLM so perhaps this could be a workaround. I can develop a process that analyze the movie directori...

Thanks for answering. I understand there is also no current solution using other pieces like VLM, right?
BTW, is there any plan in development to implement such feature for short term?

Once again, thanks a lot.

Hi, I have been successfully followed the indication of this post. But I have another related question (and I didn't find the answer in the Wiki). Is there any way to "share" on-demand video for a complete folder instead of share video file, one per one? Reading this post, it seems to shar...
