The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

I am trying to setup vls to run with Hauppauge WinTV-PRV-250 card. I was able to stream the video from the server to the client if I use the following command:

vls -vv -d udp:10.10.4.157 file:/dev/video0

However, if I was to use a vls.cfg and run with vls -vv -f vls.cfg. It would return the following debug messages:

root@pvr:~# vls -vv -f vls.cfg

Here's the vls.cfg I used:

end

# Streams sources declaration

end

inputnumber = "5"
bitrate = "7000"
maxbitrate ="9000"

end

begin "channels"
channel1 = "network"
end


begin "channel1" # unicast example

dstport = "1234" # destination port
end

begin "launchonstartup"

Please advise! Thanks in advance.

I have the same error with VideoLAN Server 0.5.5-cvs.
What is that?!
