Streaming failures in VLC 3.x and VLC 4.x
Posted: 19 Feb 2018 17:55
A year ago I prepared a script for Windows that allows me to install a streaming server on my PC to transcode high definition TV channels and see them when I'm traveling (through another OpenVPN server installed on my router) and the Wi-Fi bandwidth available is small.
It has always worked well with VLC 2.x and I have been able to watch HDTV with a bandwidth of only 2 Mbps.
My problem is that streaming with this script does not work well (VLC clients do not always see streaming or it is interrupted after a few seconds) with all the VLC 3.x and VLC 4.x versions I've tried, and I've had to reinstall VLC 2.2.8.
Important: All my remote devices, VLC Clients, are android (phone, tablet and TV Box). My VLC Server, with default preferences, is for Windows 10.
Does anyone know what happens?
My VLC_Server.bat that starts with Windows is:
start "" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" ^
--sout-transcode-audio-sync ^
--sout-keep ^
--sout="#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1280,scale=Auto,height=480}:http{mux=ts,dst=:55555/live}" ^
--ntservice-install ^
--intf="http" ^
--http-password="vlc" ^
--no-playlist-autostart ^
--repeat ^
--avcodec-hw=any ^
--dummy-quiet ^
"my remote IPTV subscription channel list m3u" ^
"my local IPTV server DVB-T channel list m3u"
