The VideoLAN Forums

Hello,
I receive a TS (which contains several programs) over Multicast Streaming, I then use that TS as input of a mosaic that I build through VLC Mosaic Wizard.

Therefore, I would like to able to select a single program for each mosaic's cell.

Hereafter the VLM code which automatically generated, when I set up the input parameters for each mosaic's cell.

new CP2 broadcast enabled
setup CP2 input "udp://@224.0.0.9:2009"
setup CP2 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=CP2,width=210,height=163},select="video",dst=bridge-out{id=2},select="audio"}

As you can see, there is no parameter which specifies the input program (inside the multicast TS) that is selected.
I notice that, is is always the video of the first program (i.e with the smallest service id) which always displayed.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Best Regards.

You can select the program in duplicate's "select" parameter. See Documentation:Streaming_HowTo/Advanced_Streaming_Using_the_Command_Line for more info.

Hello,

I figured out the issue having a look at the "select" description.

I would like now to do the same into a web page, hereafter the script to select the Multicast Input TS.

<script type="text/javascript">

var fif = new VLCObject("myVLC", "400", "350");


fif.addParam("MRL","udp://@224.0.0.9:2009");

fif.write("vlccontents");

</script>

The first program's Video is automatically displayed when I load the page.

Many thanks.

To select a program with normal playback (== not when using the stream output) you can use the --program option. So basically add ":program=<pid>" to your item's option list.

Hello dionoea,

Thank you for taking your time to help me.

Frankly speaking, I didn't understand the command explanation in your previous reply.

Could you please give me further details?

Which item's option list are talking about?

how should I add " :program=<pid>" into the script?

Best Regards.

I don't know the javascript API very well, but I know that when you add an input you can specify input specific options somehow.

Command line it'd be something like: vlc udp://@233.1.1.1 :program=1234

hello,

I've been trying as you suggested, it still doesn't work.
I not much familiar with javascript too.

Thank you for help.

Does it at least work if you do it command line? (Not in a webpage)
