What i am trying to do is take an external stream, transcode to MPEG2 and stream to my MPEG2 receiver, now If i start VLC and then use the stream wizard i get the transcoded stream out on 224.10.0.4:1234 and everything is ok

If i then save the playlist (see below)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" xmlns:vlc="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/ns/0/">

quit VLC and then try to open the playlist with VLC i just get the a video window, no transcoding and no streaming?

any ideas whats wrong or should i post this as a bug?

It might be better to create .bat file for that.

ok but is this a BUG?

would it not be nice to fix it instead of a workaround!

joolz

For security reason some playlist auto open features were removed. So I assume it is same case in this one.

can you point me to some link for more information please

joolz

If you mean .bat file, then create new text file and paste following text to it and rename it to something.bat
