The VideoLAN Forums

Apologies if this is a known problem but I never noticed it before. When I play TS files I've recorded off the tv with multiple aspect ratios 4:3 & 16:9. VLC switches between them fine if I just play the whole file. If i use the slider to skip through the file the aspect ratio doesn't change. So...

Just tried vlc-0.8.5-test4 and found a bug with the Activex plugin. The volume property still only returns the value it has been set to and not what the actual volume level is, if it has been changed with the volume hotkeys.

cheers

I wasn't logged on there, but that was me....

I get the same thing on my crappy old laptop, I find changing the snapshot format in Preferences/Video from png to jpg sorts it out.

The same problem also exists for almost all channels off Hispasat (30 West), although they do open in VLC every once in a while. I've tried to upload a small sample dump of "Sky News" to the incoming folder of ftp.videolan.org, but I dont know if it worked, you can also find it here http:/...

in vb you can cycle through the tracks with something like hotkey = VLCPlugin1.getVariable("key-audio-track") VLCPlugin1.setVariable "key-pressed", hotkey or select a track using the option below ":audio-track=1" I don't know how to select a particular track without ano...

I just noticed with the Activex plugin that the volume property no longer returns the correct value, something working okay in 8.4a. You can set the value correctly but if you subsequently use the hot keys (Ctrl up/down) the value returned from the volume property doesn't change. Thanks. ive tried t...

That seems to be working now, with the latest 8.5 test versions I've tried.

I think you just need something like this, but change the output string to your specific needs, its the dst=display that makes it play on the screen too

var options = new Array(":input-repeat=0",":sout=#duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=file,mux=ps,url=movie.mpg}}");

If I want to use print screen I just change the output module to open gl (settings->preferences->video->output modules and tick advanced). I think you will always get a black screen with directx.

I think its something like this, you need to make it an array of strings I believe.
Dim Vopt() As Variant
Vopt() = Array(":sout=#transcode vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std access=file,mux=mov,url=video.mov}}")

Walter's suggestion is the best way to get the string I think (file->open file, tick the stream output box and click on settings).

This seems to be a Windows Media Audio Redirector (.wax) file. I don't know about VLC but you need to google for something that handles these I suppose

You need to put the sout bit were you currently have null in vb you'd do something like below, I think..... options() = Array(":sout=#duplicate{dst=display,dst=std access=udp,mux=ts,url=localhost:1234}}") VLCPlugin1.addTarget "'F:\Cinema\mpg\vcdfastaction.mpeg", options, VLCPlayL...

one way to do it in vb6 would be,
these seem to be saved in your My Pictures folder under Windows XP as png's

I don't know exactly how you'd do it, but in vb I think you need to specify the --vout-filter as well to be deinterlace Dim options() As Variant options = Array(":vout-filter=deinterlace", ":deinterlace-mode=bob") VLCPlugin1.addTarget App.Path & "/blah.ts", options,...

Thanks for the input; I gave it a go but without success. I’m not giving up yet though, I can see the control can handle them, I just don’t know how to turn them on at runtime.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had managed to get visualizations working with the Activex plugin, using addTarget If I use, on the command line vlc.exe audio.mp3 --audio-visual visual they work fine in the regular VLC player if under Settings->Preferences->Audio I set Audio visualisations to Visua...
