Enlightenment on vlc verbose [hex value] & messages

[supersticks]

Hi community,
This is the sample command that i run for my streams.

Code: Select all

vlc.exe -vvv -I dummy C:\Users\user\Downloads\SampleVideo_1080x720_20mb.mp4 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=none}:rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554/test} :sout-all :sout-keep

The console window displays verbose messages to the screen.(An excerpt of the output is as shown below).

The question is does anyone knows what does the hex value represent? My guess is that the value could be a representation of timestamp where it executes the command , Tried relating it to unix timestamp but still feels odd after deriving the hex value to decimal? Hopeful someone corrects me

The aim is that I need to find out the system time at the point where the stream starts streaming out the video. Looked through vlc's cmd help, couldn't find any options. Any suggestions?

It's just an identifier of the context in which the log message was emitted. In the log above, you can use them to distinguish the multiple instances of the avcodec codec plugin.

The value is generated from memory addresses, so you can't really interpret it, except in a debugger.

Hi Rémi! appreciated for the response! what a blow to the gut.. was hoping if there is a way or a method to obtain the system time at the start of the stream
