All older versions are found on the ftp (main website, download, older versions). I've noticed the same thing on the OSX 1.1.5 release; starting a stream, then hitting stop often locks up the entire thing. It doesn't close or play anything else, I have to force quit.

If you know how to use gdb, you can provide quite detailed crash backtrace which can get the bugs fixed easier. I'm not familiar with GDB, but if you can direct me to any documentation on how to set it up in a Windows environment, I'd be happy to do so. VLC would be an essentially perfect product i...

about the crash when you stop a RTSP stream in 1.1.4, it is fixed in 1.1.5 For the other things, the bugs you find in versions < 1.1 will never be fixed because these versions are not maintained anymore. For the problems you have in latest versions, you should create a separate topic for each, in t...

We use multiple versions of VLC on each Windows machine without a conflict. I use the normal installers, and to keep things straight, just alter the installation directory slightly. During setup, I change "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" to "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC115\vlc...

Here's the batch file we use for VLC: :Start del C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\vlc\crashdump call "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "mms://sourceurl.com/stream.wmv" --sout="#transcode{width=320,height=240,venc=x264{bframes=0,nocabac,crf=24,profile=baseline,lev...

Here's an update on my streaming experiences, after a few months of trying to use VLC as a full-time transcoding system. No matter what version we use, including the most recent 1.1.5 version, trying to transcode a stream results in three issues: Problem 1) The process crashes, VLC closes. The only ...

Forced to necropost, as this feature doesn't seem to be added yet. Is compiling our own VLC from scratch source really the only answer anytime we need a custom user agent string in order to play a stream? Seriously? There couldn't possibly be a GUI box added to change it, a simple editable ini file,...

Windows version crashes when trying to transcode VP6/AAC Shoutcast streams. Reverted to 1.0.5. Mac version no longer crashes / closes when stopping RTSP streams- now crashes and stays open, must Force Quit. Does this version give us any way to change the User Agent, or does that still require a full...

No offense to the authors (they've admitted this and I believe they say it is already fixed in the nightlies / next version), but 1.1.4 is not what you should be using for RTSP streams. It's completely unstable, and is guaranteed to crash. If 1.1.3 works fine for you, roll back to it- previous versi...

Are you using Windows? If so, it sounds like Windows Task Scheduler could be your answer. You can make a *.cmd file to start VLC playing a playlist, and set it as a program to run between the times you want.

I thought I'd share my experience with using VLC, from a different perspective. I am part of a little start-up company that offers mobile streaming versions of public IPTV streams. We looked into various transcoding softwares, and the only RTSP transcoding solution we found came with a $8000+ price ...

I'm transcoding a live Windows Media stream to a mobile MP4 stream. It works, but the audio is very, very low. I've tried the official documented way to increase it ( --volume 1024, and other random numbers) but it has no effect whatsoever. Is this a known bug, or has the command line trigger been c...

Using VLC 1.1.3, switching the channels=2 to channels=1 improved things quite a bit. I was even able to drop the bitrate down to 36. Unfortunately, the sync is off, and seems to get worse the longer the stream runs.

First off, VLC rocks. I'm using it to transcode some 720x406 1000kb/s WMV3 25fps video/wma2 44100Hz 16-bit audio streams into mobile format (288x216 x264/mp4a ~160kb/s total) on my Windows machine running Darwin Stream Server. For the most part, this works amazingly well for free software... except ...
