Mosaic errors

[lerra]

Hi, I have builded vlc 0.8.6.a from source under Linux but i get an error when I start the vlm.conf but I can see the stream, with my background but not my "loggo" so I susspect its the loggofile that has problems.
My loggofile is a png file 101*23 pixels. Any ideas?

This is on a dev box with litle CPU and ram, could this be the problem? I have no problems running single streams and i have never seen "Compiler did not align stack variables. Libavcodec has been miscompiled
and may be very slow or crash. This is not a bug in libavcodec,
but in the compiler. Do not report crashes to FFmpeg developers." since now.

did you try to use the http wizzard ? ( vlc -I http and then you see the mosaic wizzard ... )

Hi, its Debian 3.1 Sarge, no I did not because I only have console access on it.
Here is my vlm configuration:

new camera1 broadcast enabled
setup camera1 input http://login:pass@192.168.0.99/video.cgi
setup camera1 loop
setup camera1 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=1,width=320,height=232},select=video,dst=bridge-out{id=1},select=audio}

new camera3 broadcast enabled
setup camera3 input http://login:pass@192.168.0.99/video.cgi
setup camera3 loop
setup camera3 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=1,width=320,height=232},select=video,dst=bridge-out{id=1},select=audio}

new playlist broadcast enabled
setup playlist input http://login:pass@192.168.0.99/video.cgi

Sorry i wasn't here for a while...

with my poor experience in mosaics, I cannot see your problem ... but I can just tell you that it's could be better to use RTSP instead of HTTP and ... heuu ... did you try to use the http mosaic wizzard ? i think that can probably help you...

[lerra]

I will take a look at it, is it just to change to RTSP instead of http in the config? I will look at the wizard, i saw that it spawned a webserver, not a graphical interface that i thought.

[Arafel]

actually, i'm trying to make it work on RSTP too ... but for the moment, that's unsuccessfully... i think that the best way could be to broadcast on UDP all your channels, take them in another computer (powerful one ... ) and stream them on RSTP. and link them with a 1Go/s ethernet ...

but for a simple use, This config file is working good on a core2duo but take off all timeshift options ... and stay on mp2v encoding ... and add : --codec==ffmpeg,any and --ffmpeg-lowres=1 or 2 ...
