I have confirmed the exact same problem with smb access module in VLC 0.8.6i.

Is the smb:// input access module supposed to work on windows? It does not seem to work in version 0.9.9 on Windows XP. Has it ever worked on windows? Basically I don't want to provide direct access to all of the samba media files shared on a local network. The user should never know the samba usern...

BTW, the Format String Wiki page has month and minutes backwards according to the man page (and according to my testing).

Here are the correct values:

%m : month
%M : minute

I used this to set time stamps in filenames in vlc-0.9.0-svn-20061122-1309-win32 and it worked for me.

FYI, I tried the shutdown command in the latest vlm telnet interface and it worked.

Here are the verbose error messages:

demuxdump error: cannot create `"C:\demux.tp"' for writing
main warning: no demux2 module matching "dump" could be loaded

Thank you that worked in both 0.8.5 and 0.9 svn

This command line: vlc --extraintf rc,telnet --rc-host :4444 --telnet-host :5555 - only allows a connection to either rc or telnet interface but not both (whichever is first in the list). I would like to be able to connect to both in the same instance of vlc in order to control both the vlm and the ...

with version 0.9.0-svn-20061018-1453

I can use vcodec=SVQ1, but if I put the mux=flv then I get the following message:

main error: no sout mux module matched "flv"
stream_out_standard error: no suitable sout mux module for `file/flv://c:\out.flv'

Where can I find the flv mux module?

If you don't put the two trailing slashes windows media player 10.2 for pocket pc will give you the following error message: "The parameter is incorrect."

Here is the VLM command that works for me: new a broadcast setup a enabled setup a input somefile.mpg setup a output #transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=256,scale=0\.5,acodec=wma,ab=64}:standard{access=mmsh,mux=asf,url=:8888} control a play I copy and paste this in to my vlm telnet interface. One note though,...

When also streaming video this works for me:
new a broadcast
setup a enabled
setup a input somefile.mpg
setup a output #transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=256,acodec=wma,ab=64}:standard{access=mmsh,mux=asf,url=:8888}
control a play

This works for me: #transcode{acodec=wma,ab=64}:standard{access=mmsh,mux=asf,url=:9999} you cannot choose this from the drop down list, but it does work if you manually type wma. setting any other value for ab does not work for me. also wma is case sensitive. i also have "Windows Media Encoder ...

Can't you use the HTTP streaming option and use the ASF encapsulation method with WMV2 video codec?

I would also like to know if this is possible at all. Do we need to set some options on the vlc server side so that windows media player will receive the format it is expecting? Is compatibilty with WMP a possibilty in future releases?

Using the code you propose, the test media never plays. Here is the output from show test: > show test type : broadcast enabled : yes loop : no inputs udp://@224.1.2.3:1234 output : options demux=dump demuxdump-file="C:\raw" instances Notice no instances default playing. Any other ideas? A...

"c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" udp://@224.1.2.3:1234 :demux=dump :demuxdump-file="C:\raw"

I wish I knew of a way to do this in VLM as a scheduled broadcast, but it appears this is not part of an sout command and so that may not be possible.

Is there a way using VLM to schedule to dump raw to disk? I have found a way to make it work using the command line and windows scheduled tasks ( "c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" udp://@224.1.2.3:1234 :demux=dump :demuxdump-file="C:\raw" ), but I was wondering if I could d...
