The VideoLAN Forums

Hi all,
So, for testing purpose, I try to append twice the same file. Using the code above, the resulting file has 2 time the same video.. the first one plays correct but the second one plays accelerated...
Logs while transcoding: A remark: If I try to play the resulting file after VLC ended the transcode process but without closing VLC itself, I can not play the resulting file (see logs bellow)... To be able to play it, I have to first close VLC (transcode ended) and then open the resulting encoded file (it plays then in the way explained above)... I am lost...

SAlut, Michel.

Hi all,

Still trying to retrieve more info on what it is happening, I have tried to play the resulting file using ffplay... here what it reports: It seems something is not correct on the file...

Please could you confirm this behaviour or tell me how to do to append 2 files together correctly?...
Thanks for any help.

Michel.

Hello,

I see the thread is old but I just wanted to answer so that this can help others who come around this thread.

To play a playlist (or multiple files) in VLC, you need to use "gather" as the first option in your --sout chain, and you also need to put in --sout-keep in the command.

So, something like this would work:
Hope this helps someone! It took me some time to find this out.
