Hello,
there is still a problem with paths and fake: input

Automatically created fake input has wrong option syntax (?)
(supposed right) Defined option fake-file works, but image crashes VLC.
Paths with "spaces" recognized as:

Code: Select all

setup bg option fake-file=C:\\Documents and Settings\\ondra\\960x480.png
...
main debug: creating access '' path='C:\Documents'

Quoted paths are recognized as:

Code: Select all

setup bg option fake-file="C:\\Documents and Settings\\ondra\\960x480.png"
...
access_file debug: opening file `\Documents and Settings\ondra\960x480.png"'

vlc-0.8.5-test1-20060330-0000 win32
Created code by Mosaic wizard:

Code: Select all

# Background options
new   bg broadcast enabled
setup bg input     "fake: option fake-file=C:\\pracovni\\960x480.png"
setup bg option    sub-filter=mosaic

Code: Select all

main debug: `fake: option fake-file=C:\pracovni\960x480.png' gives access `fake' demux `' path ` option fake-file=C:\pracovni\960x480.png'
main debug: creating demux: access='fake' demux='' path=' option fake-file=C:\pracovni\960x480.png'
main debug: looking for access_demux module: 1 candidate
main debug: selecting program id=0
main debug: using access_demux module "access_fake"
main debug: looking for decoder module: 26 candidates
fake error: specify a file with --fake-file=...
main error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `fake'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
main debug: killing decoder fourcc `fake', 0 PES in FIFO
main debug: `fake: option fake-file=C:\pracovni\960x480.png' successfully opened

This should work...

Code: Select all

# Background options
new   bg broadcast enabled
setup bg input     "fake: option fake-file=C:\\pracovni\\960x480.png"
setup bg option fake-file=C:\\pracovni\\960x480.png

This could also work:

Code: Select all

# Background options

setup bg input     "fake: option fake-file=C:\\Documents and Settings\\ondra\\960x480.png"
setup bg option fake-file="C:\\Documents and Settings\\ondra\\960x480.png"

these are actually two problems: missing quotes and a windows specific bug with the <letter>:\ syntax. I'll fix those.

fake file segfault should now be fixed. (took me hours to find the bug's source)

Hello,
thank you,

Mosaic wizard created this input

Code: Select all

fake-file=C:\\temp\\vlc-0.8.5-test2-20060401-0221\\960x480.png"

and this error

Code: Select all

...
fake error: specify a file with --fake-file=...
main error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `fake'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
main debug: killing decoder fourcc `fake', 0 PES in FIFO
stream_out_display error: cannot create decoder for fcc=`fake'
main error: cannot create packetizer output (fake)
http debug: executing vlm command: 
...

I have to add extra line: setup bg option

Code: Select all

...
fake-file=C:\\temp\\vlc-0.8.5-test2-20060401-0221\\960x480.png"
setup bg option fake-file=C:\\temp\\vlc-0.8.5-test2-20060401-0221\\960x480.png
...

and it works great.

Hum, crap, that's due to the quotes i added arround inputs 2 days ago... it uses "fake: option=fake-file=....." as input instead of "fake:" option "fake-file=....". I'll fix that.
