Stop UDP Multicast client player when done playing?
Posted: 07 Oct 2005 21:10
I have a VLC 0.8.2 server playing videos streaming over multicast UDP. The server is in play and stop mode. When a video finishes playing on the server (and client), the client sits there displaying the last frame forever. Is there any way I can get the UDP multicast client to go into stop mode when it stops receiving video data? Or hide its player window when it is done playing?
This is for a solution that automatically displays videos at certain time intervals, and another window the rest of the time. I would really prefer not to write my program so that it has to tell each multicast client (8-12 of them) to stop playing to kill the stale window.
