Problem with making playlist out of streaming jobs

I need to re-stream my UDP multicast IPTV streams to my home (different ISP, so no multicast from my network is ever getting there).

I do this by restreaming it to HTTP and compressing a bit. It all works fine and if I make several streaming jobs for different IPTV input streams, they show up in playlist and switch fine, when clicked on. It all changes, when I save those to XSPF playlist and load it back again:

Code: Select all

<?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/"> <title>Playlist</title> <trackList> <track> <location>udp://@224.0.9.151:6505</location> <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0"> <vlc:id>0</vlc:id> <vlc:option>sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1024,scale=0,width=480,acodec=mp4a,ab=64,channels=1,samplerate=44100}:http{mux=ts,dst=:8888/}</vlc:option> <vlc:option>no-sout-rtp-sap</vlc:option> <vlc:option>no-sout-standard-sap</vlc:option> <vlc:option>sout-all</vlc:option> <vlc:option>ttl=111</vlc:option> <vlc:option>sout-keep</vlc:option> </extension> </track> </trackList> <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0"> <vlc:item tid="0" /> </extension> </playlist>
Clicking on those items just gets them playing on-screen with no actual streaming or compressing going on.
I think it's some problem in saving all parameters to playlist file, as for it's playing and switching fine until you save and load it again.

It might be easier to keep VLC options in .bat file and just use playlist for locations.

Yes, this is a workaround I used. But switching from playlist is more convenient, as I feel.

No plans for fixing this bug?

Some options are limited in playlist files because of security issues.
