The VideoLAN Forums

I set up vlm on my windows box with this
vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554

I could then telnet to it and type
new test vod enabled
setup test input clip.avi

(where clip.avi) is in the same folder as vlc.exe

But now i used the same thing on my linux and it wont find the file, i put the same videclip both where the executeble is and in the root.
I have then tried

setup test input clip.avi
setup test input ./clip.avi
setup test input /clip.avi

but nothing works, any clues?


I have a few more other questions when i got it to work on my windows it never streamed the sound of videoclips from my camera (Casio Z750) but it streamed the sound just fine from other videoclips. The weird part is that if videolan itself plays the file on the computer it plays the sound just fine, so it can read the sound but why cant it stream it?

Finally when stuff is working im not sure if im going to transcode it to quicktime in order to be able to have it embeded in a browser (which will be a project in itself) But i kinda want people to use vlc anyways. Is there anyway from a browser ask vlc on the computer to open and start playing the stream?

I'd be most grateful for all the help I can get. And if you have a short sample of what to write to transcode into quicktime id be very happy !

i use vlm with windows and a i always use absolute file links not relative
e.g.: C:\...\file.mpg
maybe this is necessary on linux

because of your cam-device:

i don't know, but i think this cam has no audiodevice. but i dont know

We tried with absolute paths aswell with no go.

We got vlc to stream without vlm right now which is one step in the right direction.
It still refuses to stream the sound which seems to be in a microsoft format of sorts. Any tips on how to stream that?
My linux is far away so I cant play stuff localy on it but when i play the file on vlc in win sound works fine, but when i stream it to one win box to another no sound.

Any tips would be great !

you can try to transcode the audio stream. maybe you do it already
but in the case did not, try it.
with #transcode{vcodec=...,acodec=...,ab=...,vb=...}
maybe then sounds work
