Help with multiple audio channels in a mosaic

[cgimeno]

Hi all, I'm trying to set up a 4x4 mosaic from 16 rtp unicast videos. I wrote a vlm.conf file for that and I get all the videos but I have problems with the audio streams, it seems that vlc set them in a kinda aleat way. I mean, in the client part, audio track 1 sometimes goes algon with video signal 4, sometimes 1, sometimes X.

My inputs are like this

Code: Select all

new channel1 broadcast enabled setup channel1 input "rtp://@:10000" setup channel1 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=channel1,width=180,height=144},select=video,dst=bridge-out{id=0},select=audio}

And my output and options are

Code: Select all

#Background options new bg broadcast enabled setup bg input "fake:" option "fake-file=bg.jpg" option "fake-width=720" option "fake-height=576" setup bg option sub-filter=mosaic #setup bg output #transcode{vcodec=mp1v,vb=4096,scale=1,sfilter=mosaic}:bridge-in{offset=100}:std{access=udp{ttl=12},mux=,dst=192.168.101.180:2000} setup bg output #transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=2048,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=512,channels=16,sfilter=mosaic}:bridge-in{offset=100}:std{access=udp{ttl=12},mux=ts,dst=192.168.101.180:2000} # Mosaic options setup bg option mosaic-alpha=255 setup bg option mosaic-height=576 setup bg option mosaic-width=720 setup bg option mosaic-align=5 setup bg option mosaic-xoffset=0 setup bg option mosaic-yoffset=0 setup bg option mosaic-vborder=0 setup bg option mosaic-hborder=0 setup bg option mosaic-position=1 setup bg option mosaic-rows=4 setup bg option mosaic-cols=4 setup bg option mosaic-order=channel1,channel2,channel3,channel4,channel10,channel20,channel30,channel40,channel11,channel21,channel31,channel41,channel12,channel22,channel32,channel42 setup bg option mosaic-delay=0 setup bg option mosaic-keep-aspect-ratio setup bg option mosaic-keep-picture

Anyone has a clue about that?

Thanks in advance

Same problem here!
Everytime I start mosaic, another audio channel is playing. Even track numbers are different to the videos.

audio track 3 = Video 1
audio track 2 = Video 2
.....

This is different everytime I start mosaic...

Any ideas?

Post a conf file with a few of the different sources shown. Thanks.

Code: Select all

new Channel1 broadcast enabled setup Channel1 input "udp://@1.2.3.4:1234" setup Channel1 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=1,width=360,height=288},select=video,dst=bridge-out{id=1},select=audio} new Channel2 broadcast enabled setup Channel2 input "udp://@1.2.3.5:1234" setup Channel2 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=2,width=360,height=288},select=video,dst=bridge-out{id=2},select=audio} new Channel3 broadcast enabled setup Channel3 input "udp://@1.2.3.6:1234" setup Channel3 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=3,width=360,height=288},select=video,dst=bridge-out{id=3},select=audio} new Channel4 broadcast enabled setup Channel4 input "udp://@1.2.3.7:1234" setup Channel4 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=4,width=360,height=288},select=video,dst=bridge-out{id=4},select=audio}

Any ideas?

Would be interested to know if there is a fix for Audio mis-match with respect to Video Elements in the mosaic. We are using version 1.0.0 golden eye. Been trying for a while, vlc assigns the first video (not necessacrily in the order of the vlm file ) to position zero, hence audio channel 1 (as in VLM file), gets assigned to it and so on. Additionally loss/pause/loop of any video input stream to the mosaic, adds a new pid to the transcoded stream and the previous pid is lost, hence the audio stream moves in the order of the audio track display in the transcoded mosaic stream. Every time you restart vlc mosaic the assignment is different, hence the behaviour too.

I have the same problem,plus having the multiple screens if I read the broadcasts with VLC on windozzzz XP. By using different clips/content to stream through the mosaic and different combinations of trancodeing the input signals to the mosaic I get pretty much repeatable results.
It would help if one could filter the PID comming from thre mosaic bridge in/out before broadcast. But that I could not acomplished yet.

The same problem, I cannot get the audio in the same order as the video channels in my mosaic.

One question, you have a 4x4 video mosaic from different sources??? which processor are you using for? I cannot get more than 12 with an 8 core, 1.61Ghz, Intel Xeon pocessor....using Win7. Can you show me your mosaic?

thanks,
Raúl.

did any one fix this issue ?

[pedro]

finally i get it fixed, the audio pids are now ordered in the same way as the video

greats, thanks for your help

[selmir]

What is the solution for this problem? Can anyone share a solution (VLC config file) with us?

Bump.
Could you share your solution, please? I have the same problem.

Hello All

We had to patch the VLC module code (not the config file) to get this going. It was almost 5 years back now. There was a dynamic allocation of A/V pids which we tried hard coding to make it static.

Its a little more involved than only the conf file modifications.

I don't think it's doable for now easily.
