Hi,
I opened WMV stream and address is like http://example.com/video.wmv. I noticed that when i open this stream with Windows Media Player 11
or if i open this with VLC 0.9.0-test2 (or 0.8.6i) there is difference in video quality. Video is sharper with WMP11. I am streaming that video
forward with this settings:

Outputs: Play locally & HTTP
Encapsulation: MPEG-TS
Audio: MP3, 128kbps, 2 channel

I don't know if those are best settings for this video. When i open video with WMP 11 and check video properties, it shows that WMV stream is 331Kbps,
and audio 40kbps, 33kHz. I noticed too, that streaming this video to my one friend, causes 65-90KB/s traffic and when i tried to cast this with
Peercast program, it went with 40-50KB/s.

What could cause that video quality is lower with VLC than WMP11 and what would be best settings for this kind of WMV-stream? I battled with
different codecs etc etc. couple of hours but didn't solve anyting

Best regards

Can you paste the debug output from VLC while trying to play that stream? (in the qt interface, messages and turn verbosity to maximum)

Ofcourse. Tools -> Messages and i set verbose level to 2. Message box says:

Verbosity level 0 said that:

Code: Select all

main info: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
dshow error: no capture device was detected
main info: creating httpd
main error: object is not attached
access_mms info: selecting stream[0x1] audio (41 kb/s)
access_mms info: selecting stream[0x2] video (294 kb/s)
access_mms info: ignoring stream[0x3] video (92 kb/s)
access_mms info: connection successful

After switching to level 2:

Code: Select all

main warning: resampling stopped after 3996000 usec (drift: -35343)

I forget to mention that i use Windows Vista Ultimate x64. If is it possible, i would want to open WMV stream and send it forward over http with VLC,
without changing codecs etc. So basically my computer would only be "stream repeater", and still i could watch locally it too.

You should switch verbosity level before starting the stream playback. Anyway, the messages you posted seem to suggest that you're decoding the high quality stream (294 kb/s). Maybe windows media player has some default post processing. That's currently unavailable in 0.9.* but I'll fix it soon.

Oh, im sorry. Here is messages, if those helps in now/future:
