Streaming multiple files from a single VLC process - Linux

[Poogy]

Lo,

I'm trying to stream 3 movies in a multicast mode, following the example in the manual - but no joy... (for too many hours... )

What am I'm doing wrong??

Thanks!

Command used: vlc --vlm-conf vlc.cfg -I telnet

vlc.cfg:
new channel1 broadcast enabled
setup channel1 input /home/icmovie/Movies/mpeg2.ts
setup channel1 output #standard{mux=ts,access=udp,dst=239.255.1.1,sap,name="Channel 1"}

new channel2 broadcast enabled
setup channel2 input /home/icmovie/Movies/mpeg2.mpg
setup channel2 output #standard{mux=ts,access=udp,dst=239.255.1.2,sap,name="Channel 2"}

new channel3 broadcast enabled
setup channel3 input /home/icmovie/Movies/H264.ts
setup channel3 output #standard{mux=ts,access=udp,dst=239.255.1.3,sap,name="Channel 3"}

control channel1 play
control channel2 play
control channel3 play

What do you mean by "no joy" ? what happens ?
You should use the -vvv flag

[Poogy]

No joy means that I can't watch the movies with vlc player... works great when I stream one file in each process...

Thanks for your support!

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

I haven"t read it yet, but could you try by using a up-to-date version of vlc (like 0.8.5) AND not as a root ?

[Poogy]

Tried diffrerent user - still doesn't work. Will try to upgrade to 0.8.5

Thanks!

[Poogy]

tried to upgrade to the "Debian unstable (sid)"... but it's still 0.8.2

Is there a binary for 0.8.5??

Thanks again!

[dionoea]

Sid is 0.8.5 or 0.8.6-svn

[Poogy]

Lo again,

I'm trying to install 0.8.5 (apt-get) from the following sources:

deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian sid main
deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian sid main

But I still get 0.8.2....

Do I have to complie 0.8.5 to be able to use it?

[dionoea]

0.8.6-svn is in the debian archive (like ftp.debian.org or whatever) for sid. You should only need apt-get update && apt-get install vlc

[Poogy]

Seems like I'm missing something...
When I'm trying to apt-get install the sid, I still see in the trace that I'm getting the sarge release... 0.8.1

Sources are:

deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian sid main
deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian sid main

Strange...

Thanks!

[dionoea]

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/graphics/vlc

Seems like you forgot to apt-get update or something.

[Poogy]

It's probably a stupid mistake, but I can't understand what's getting wrong...

This is what I do:

[dionoea]

VLC binaries are not on the VideoLAN mirrors. They're in the debian archive.

[Poogy]

Thanks.

I understand though I got confused...

I'd like to upgrade my VLC to vesion 0.8.5.... apt-get won't get me there.

You worte before that I don't have to recompile the complete package.

So what's the way forward??

[funman]

remove

deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian sid main
deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian sid main

from your sources.list and it should be ok

[Poogy]

Solved! Thanks.

I had to upgrade the debian version to SID and then it's easy to upgrade the VLC to 0.8.6 (SID version).

On 0.8.6 the example in the notes of playing multiple files from a single process is working!

Regards
