Using stdin as input?

Hi,

it seems using input from stdin like

Code: Select all

dvgrab - | vlc -
is not implemented:
[00000245] main playlist: adding playlist item `-' ( - )
libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 0.1.9 from http://dvd.sf.net
libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable.
libdvdread: Can't stat -
není souborem ani adresářem
libdvdnav: vm: faild to open/read the DVD
Anyone using it like this? Any hint? Thanks

Hi,
"vlc -" does work; you can ignore the error messages since vlc tries all its access methods until one works, but you can force the file access with:

Code: Select all

vlc file://-
If it doesn't work it means vlc cannot recognize the type of stream you are trying to read.
