Does input-slave actually work?

[rninne]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with playing another media synchronously in VLC.

What I want to do is play a stream from an RTSP server and the audio from my aux in on my computer.

The methods I've tried are numerous.

The most basic example that should work is: media -> open network. add the stream details then check the box that says "play another media synchronously" browse to capture device, seletc none for video (since I already have video comming from the stream) and select (in my case) SoundMAX HD Audio, configure, set pin line to "rear input", ok, select

Now the extra media line is: dshow:// :dshow-vdev="none" :dshow-adev="SoundMAX HD Audio"
and the customize line is: rtsp://192.168.106.13/asdf :input-slave=dshow:// :dshow-vdev="none" :dshow-adev="SoundMAX HD Audio"

When I click play the video comes up, but the audio doesn't.

In the messages window I get:
dshow error: no capture device was detected
dshow error: can't open video
main error: demux doesn't like DEMUX_GET_TIME

If I reverse the operation (ie media -> open caputure device and add the RTSP stream as the "play another media synchronously" option) I get the audio with no video.

I've also tried recording video and audio seperatly and just using the files (mp4 and wav) and this does not work either.

Any suggestions?

It might be broken. At least Directshow doesn't cooperate with another streams.

Hmmm it seems that if I just try and play the RTSP stream with an mp3 over the top it doesn't work either. This problem is with the latest version 0.9.8a BTW. Has anyone got input-slave to work on any previous versions?

1.0 has better inputs-slaving management

[0x80cbbe8] main input error: demux doesn't like DEMUX_GET_TIME
[0x80cbbe8] main input error: demux doesn't like DEMUX_GET_TIME

I've tried different inputs and different combinations

Which 1.0.0 version you tried?

[mb508]

i tried latest from trunk ... but today i've tried 0.98 and got the same errors

There are there parts in input.c that can cause that problem. And it seems that every part has demux_Control before it. So I think there are still some bugs in the code.
