I am seeing the same thing. The rc interface when using a socket but no ncurses interface takes about twice the CPU power. I started a thread a while back but I got no responses. Oh yeah. I also added the command line option --rc-fake-tty but it still uses a ton of CPU. Maybe you will have better lu...

Can I get one of the admins to post these 2 bugs to the bug tracker?

I think I have found 2 bugs in 0.8.5. I have tried the debian package and also compiled the latest CVS but I have the same behavior in both. First bug: the Marquee no longer works. I have noticed a couple of other threads on this. There are no error messages but nothing displays on the screen. Speci...

The fix I had to do was install the avahi daemon. I don't WANT to use the avahi daemon, but since I am using a binary rather than compiling myself, it is required. On Ubuntu: apt-get install avahi-daemon It might be nice to have a command line --ignore-avahi or something for those of us not using it.

Looks like this is a new bug. The command line option that I have used for months now no longer works with the latest version of VLC. Somone broke something. Here is the command line I was using: vlc -vvv --logfile="/var/www/vlc-log.html" --logmode=html -I http --http-host :8081 FILENAME -...

How and where do I post a bug report?

The video already has a codec. Why can't it use the video's codec and just change the bitrate? If I don't tell it a specific codec, use the one you already encoded as. No need to reencode. That's the idea I am shooting for. My hope is that, besides avoiding transcoding problems between codecs, it wi...

I have many files on a server all of diffrent codec types. I currently have to transcode them all to one codec in order to also change the bitrate: ie --sout='#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=384,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=64,channels=2} What I would like to be able to do is leave the video codec alone and onl...

I had a similar problem but was able to fix it be changing to using div3 as the transcode video codec.

Click on the stream output option and choose http as the streaming method. Then you can connect on the other computer using vlc http://whatever:8000 or whatever your port number is.

Did you try setting the port number to a diffrent port?

Check your Firewall documentation. It will need to forward a port to your interal IP address ie port 8000 needs to go to 192.168.x.x. Then your family will need to connect to the extrenal IP address of your firewall. You can check that by going to http://whatismyip.com Also if you are streaming over...

I wrote a PHP script that does this using the HTTP interface. Basically it issues commands such as this: http://localhost:8081/?control=seek&seek_value=%2D1min which will rewind 1 minute. http://localhost:8081/?control=pause will pause/unpause the playback. of course replace localhost with the l...

Can you run the vlc command with -vvv and post the portion of the output about the audio codec its using?

I upgraded to version 0.8.4 yesterday and now I cannot http stream some of my video files. I am transcoding all video's from several formats to mp4v. Here is my command line: vlc -vvv --logfile="/var/www/vlc-log.html" --logmode=html -I http --http-host :8081 "$1" vlc:quit --sout=...

I wrote a PHP script that reads a directory listing and creates a High bandwidth and Low bandwidth link. Clicking on High executes the shell code: vlc --logfile="/var/www/vlc-log.html" --logmode=html -I http --http-host :8081 "$1" vlc:quit --sout='#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=512,sc...

I have coded a nice little PHP server to launch VOD and such. I was hoping to use the rc interface to allow people to send text messages via the marquee to the playing video. The problem is, if I stream with rc as the interface it sends the load on my linux server up to over 1.8. If I use the http i...
