Hi all
I use vlc to stream a single file(mpeg2 or mpeg4 , H264) in command line; as you see:
now I need to fast forward the stream or slow down the speed. Is this possible in vlc? I need to use some interfaces like telnet to send this command to the VLC process or there is some option in command line?

thank you

You cannot change the rate while streaming, that would break the stream on the receivers.
