vlc 0.8.4a with dbox2 movieplayer problem

[z421]

hello!

at the moment i'm trying to get the vlc with the movieplayer from the dbox2 neutrino running. i configured vlc how described on wiki.tuxbox.org/VLC.
under windows with the same vlc version and same configuration, the movieplayer works, but under linux (debian and ubuntu) i've troubles to get it running.

the movieplayer of the dbox hangs on "buffering", browsing the directory's works.
when the dbox stands on "buffering" in the webinterface of vlc the file i want to play, is displaed in the playlist.


at the console where i started vlc i get the following output:

Code: Select all

can andybody read out something important from the log?
or, maybe has anyone got the vlc under linux running with the dbox2 movieplayer?

vlc version is 0.8.4a

thank you, for reading and/or helping!

At first glance, it looks like you didn't specify where you wanted to stream out to.

I'm not familiar enough with the streaming-out feature to help you more, but I'm sure you have to somehow specify the protocol & destination you want VLC to send the output stream to.

Check the WIKI at http://wiki.videolan.org.

Looks like this is a new bug. The command line option that I have used for months now no longer works with the latest version of VLC. Somone broke something. Here is the command line I was using:

vlc -vvv --logfile="/var/www/vlc-log.html" --logmode=html -I http --http-host :8081 FILENAME --sout='#transcode{vb=1024,scale=1,sfilter=marq}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,url=:8080}}'

The fix I had to do was install the avahi daemon. I don't WANT to use the avahi daemon, but since I am using a binary rather than compiling myself, it is required.

On Ubuntu: apt-get install avahi-daemon

It might be nice to have a command line --ignore-avahi or something for those of us not using it.
