look for tutorials on the web. there's plenty of commands to do this with VLC

Yes, I think you need to look into telnet interface or the rc (remote control) interface. RC Tutorial: https://n0tablog.wordpress.com/2009/02/09/controlling-vlc-via-rc-remote-control-interface-using-a-unix-domain-socket-and-no-programming/ VLC Wiki: https://wiki.videolan.org/Console/ Probably the re...

Didn't test this but basically --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mpeg4,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128}:standard{access=http,mux=mp4,dst=123.123.123, port=1234}" Then open it with VLC on the other side: http://123.123.123:1234 However, depending on your network setup this should work or not. For WWW env...

how do I stream synced audio video to another VLC user? I see an HTTP option. Does that mean this can be streamed to a browser? Look into this post and its related links to get started on this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26102768/vlc-http-video-streaming?noredirect=1&lq=1 It's not easy...

If it flips back to Built-in mic probably something isn't initializing the right way or throwing an error. The logs would probably give you a hint on what's going on. Can you manage to get some logs either by starting VLC in verbose mode from Terminal: /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -vvv o...

From a quick viewpoint: Is this the complete path to your index file (/home/cam1/prog_index.m3u8)? Check if you can reach your path if you do a change directory to it via simple terminal e.g.: cd /home/cam1/

Otherwise provide your log statements via http://pastebin.com/

Make sure to have your Preferences setup correctly http://i.imgur.com/fShUQoL.png?1 (1) Open Preferences via the main VLC menu (CMD+,) (2) Deselect Window Decorations in order to get an independent video window which is separate from your playlist (3) Select your Full Screen Video Device via the dro...

You could try to use the livehttp module to do this. Normally you use it to segment a stream for HTTP Live streaming compatibility. Such segments usually have a length of 10 seconds or so. In your case a segment would need to be 1 hour in seconds being 3600 seconds. This should be achieved with segl...

But there's not info about the bitrate (e.g. 320 kbps, 256kbps...) Yes - it does show you info about the audio bitrate. See the following image (VLC 2.1.4) showing an audio bitrate of 192 kb/s http://i57.tinypic.com/m7yij6.png ffprobe can also provide some insight (see ffmpeg): Duration: 01:04:31.9...

You don't need to compile a VLC version in order to use it on a command line. You can start VLC via Terminal via the following command /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -vvv The -vvv parameters are for verbose output. Now just use the commands from my earlier post and replace vlc in the begin...

Via terminal have you tried starting the stream with: vlc -vvv -I dummy screen:// --sout='#transcode{vcodec=h264, samplerate=44100, vb=96, fps=30, acodec=mp3, ab=64, height=240, width=320, scale=1}:standard{access=udp, mux=ts, dst=239.0.0.1, port=1234}' and then playig it on a another mac with: vlc ...

I worked around this problem by adding the following line to modules/access/Modules.am -- libaccess_eyetv_plugin_la_LIBTOOLFLAGS = --tag=CC This works for 64bit builds: x86_64-apple-darwin11 You additionally need to add the tag for qtcapture and qtsound as well. OR don't edit Modules.am and correct...

when i
Configure the VLC build
by
../extras/package/macosx/configure.sh --enable-debug --host=i686-apple-darwin10 --build=i686-apple-darwin10
i get the error
configure: error: No package 'ncursesw' found
how can i fix ?

try the following:

cd contrib/osx
make .ncurses

then configure again.

i filed a bug report on trac: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/6937
looked into it for some time now, however with no success.
i'm still on it though...

hey felix, i just tried this with the latest source today (can nightlies be compared to them - i guess so - otherwise correct me). somehow qtsound throws an assertion error when used on its own: [0x2b3108] main input debug: `qtsound://' successfully opened [0x2b3108] main input debug: Buffering 0% [...

I could reconstruct your issue. I'll have to look into it - i guess it has something to do with the encoding of the audio qtsound delivers f32l and in the log it's trying to convert from f32l to s32l if i understand this correctly audio_format debug: f32l->s32l, bits per sample: 32->32 right now i d...

I just tested it via command line with the downloaded release from videolan.org - worked fine (no noise) both 32-bit and 64-bit (note there's differences in QuickTime's support for certain devices in 32-bit and 64-bit mode) /Applications/VLC-32/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -vvv qtsound:// and also wit...

yes, i can confirm this and i already sent a patch to fix this bug, so as far as i know this will be fixed with VLC 2.0.1 http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=commit;h=fd75aab3d6670f7404e1c3e741a87587481472f4 i guess you can try a nightly build (no experience with those), or try the git source and c...

I just tried to achieve what you described. I guess you'll need to stream your iSight or camera device and set a dts delay on the one side and play the stream with a udp caching value high enough. I got a 21 second delay working. Maybe there's a better way to do this - but this one worked. Try the f...

Taking snapshots has been discussed some days ago here: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=95106 There I've put together complete working commands. Look at them, tweak them, it should work for your requirements as well. You basically need to work with the scene filter and start-time ...

load the audio file
right click on the file --> Media Information or Window-->Media Information or CMD+I
click the second tab Codec Details
maximize the Stream 0 or whatever you see there
then you should see an entry called Bitrate
that should be what you're looking for

first try to run the command without the quit and the dev/null stuff but with the verbose output flag set to -vvv like this: /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -vvv -I dummy --video-filter=scene --vout=dummy --no-audio --scene-format=png --scene-ratio=120 --scene-prefix=videoSnap --scene-path=...

no problem. glad i could help :D to export the help info to a text file issue the following command in terminal /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -H > vlcHelp.txt however it's easier to just use help in terminal with less and search through it by entering /searchpattern or ?searchpattern if y...

you can try the video filter in extended controls Window --> Extended Controls or CMD+E Select Video Filter from the dropdown menu and activate Image clone under General editing filters A second window without borders should appear showing the same video. Minimize your other video / windows and you ...

Being a mac newbie I just want to clarify I just open terminal and paste the code in replacing the movie name with the one I want. Is that correct? Yes. If you're a true newbie to mac and its terminal, the following should be noted: Give the full path to your movie name. Also replace the --scene-pa...
