Hi,
could I install and run VLC to do some streaming without XWindow installed on Linux?
Regards,
Alex

just disable all graphic stuff when you configure it

Suppose in GUI mode, I do the following configuration:
on 'File/Open Network Stream' dialog,
rtsp://1.2.3.4
on Stream out Setting dialog,
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=256,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=raw,url="abc.mpeg"}}
How could I combine these two settings into one command line to make it run on console instead of Xwindow.
Thanks a lot!

you should read the streamming howto on
http://www.videolan.org/doc
In your case
Code: Select all
vlc rtsp://1.2.3.4 :sout="#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=256,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=raw,url="abc.mpeg"}}"

I did read the doc, but does seem it mentions to combine these two commands.
Could you tell me how to disable the GUI, so I can run the command on a linux console.

YES IT IS POSSIBLE.
Plenty ppl do it.
The question as to how has been answered in this thread already.
vlc -vvv for debug output
vlc -I dummy for no interface
vlc -V dummy for no video window (also a X element)
vlc --longhelp --advanced to show ALL vlc options.
