Changes between 0.8.2 and 0.8.4:

Stream output:
* New shout output module to forward streams to icecast servers

Is there any documentation about this module ?

Thanks VLC is great.

[pilami]

how can i setup a mountpoint / password with vlc ?

[zorglub]

Hello,

You need to build the stream output chain "yourself".

Use '#shout{url=user:password@server_host:server_port/mountpoint}'

It's not very user-friendly at the moment, we'll see what we can do

[pilami]

yeah thanks you !

i'll try it =)

[pilami]

damn i tried this MRL :

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=128,scale=0.5,acodec=vmp3,ab=64,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=#shout{url=tv404:my_pass@localhost:8000/tv404.ogg}}

and add this in my icecast config :

<mount>
<mount-name>/tv404.ogg</mount-name>

<username>tv404</username>
<password>my_pass</password>
<max-listeners>1</max-listeners>
<no-yp>1</no-yp>
</mount>

doesn't working i guess ...

is there something wrong in my MRL ?

[Guest]

i have similar problem i can get it to transcode ogg
using
vlc -vvv http://stream:port --sout '#transcode{acodec=vorbis,ab=96}:standard{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:pass@server:port/llink.ogg}'

but i want to use mp3
even if u try
vlc -vvv http://stream:port --sout '#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=192}:standard{access=shout,mux=mp3,url=source:pass@server:port/link.mp3}'

that doesnt work because of the mux=mp3 :/
any idea's i tried --sout '#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=192}:#shout{url=source:pass@server:port/llink.mp3}'

no go :\

[dionoea]

you might need to use access=shout{mp3=1}

see https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/file/trun ... ut/shout.c for more info.

[Guest]

that works so now on my icecast it says mpeg but the std mux doesnt support the mp3 :/ so after it connects 5 seconds it drops hmmm

any idea's on that one?

[dionoea]

you should use raw or es to mux mp3.

[tvtalkshowshigh]

i've been trying to set up an icecast server in windows but can't get VLC to stream to icecast2

my command line to launch vlc is:
vlc.exe file://c:\test.ogg --sout '#transcode{acodec=vorbis,ab=96}:standard{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:hackme@127.0.0.1:8008/llink.ogg}'

and the debug information from vlc is:
main debug: using sout chain=`std{mux="",access="'#transcode{acodec=vorbis,ab=96}",url="standard{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:hackme@127.0.0.1:8008/llink.ogg}'"}'
main debug: stream=`std'
main debug: looking for sout stream module: 1 candidate
main warning: missing value for option mux
main debug: set sout option: sout-standard-access to '#transcode{acodec=vorbis,ab=96}

stream_out_standard debug: extention -> mux=(null)

main warning: no sout stream module matching "std" could be loaded

main error: cannot start stream output instance, aborting

so for some reason vlc isn't parsing the "mux=ogg" part of the command line...? i tried rearanging it to the way that the error suggests (with the mux= at the begining) but i got the same error.

I've using VLC 0.8.4a. I also tried with the latest nightly build for windows but this didn't help.

I assume it's something stupid that i'm doing in the command syntax - could someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong?

thanks in advance,

mark.

[dionoea]

try sout=#std withouth the quotes (and with the equal sign).

[tvtalkshowshigh]

thanks dionoea,

unfortunately it still doesn't work though...

new command
start c:\progra~1\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe file://c:\test.ogg sout=#std{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:hackme@localhost:8000/llink.ogg}

new error
main error: no suitable access module for `sout=#std{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:hackme@localhost:8000/llink.ogg}'

is the shout module definitely enabled in the official release of 0.8.4a? as i said, i've tried the nightlies as well but that didn't make any difference.

thanks,
mark.

[dionoea]

Could you paste all the debug messages ?

[tvtalkshowshigh]

oops! firstly, slight mistake in my last attempt - i forgot the "--" before "sout" so vlc was parsing the sout part of my command as a seperate playlist item!

however, revised command is as follows:
start c:\progra~1\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe file://c:\test.ogg --sout=#std{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=source:hackme@localhost:8000/llink.ogg}

that was using vlc-0.8.5-svn-20060109-0000-win32

[dionoea]

hehe the shout module wasn't enabled in the windows nightly build (and i doubt that it was enabled in the official windows build). I updated the windows nightly build configure line to compile it. It should be available in tomorrow's nightly (tell me if it works).

[tvtalkshowshigh]

hehe/ i thought that's what the error meant, i just didn't think it was likely to be the case!

thanks for sorting it Dionoea, i'll post back here tomorrow.

[dionoea]

looks like the new build is done

[tvtalkshowshigh]

sorry, still the same problem.

with vlc-0.8.5-svn-20060109-2241-win32 (last night) and vlc-0.8.5-svn-20060110-0000-win32 (this morning). I've tried the installer and the zip as they seem to be slightly different (no activex in installer) why is that btw?

hello

i have the same problem on my osx....

the shout module seems not (or is not) included in the binaries.

Does anybody know how i compile myself the sources with the shout module for osx?

thx

[bytebanditkiller]

hello it's me again...

i took my freebsd laptop and installed the vlc-devel port and .... yepp.

for everyone this module shout must be only available in the latest devel sources.

i hope it will soon get to release state as there are actually not a lot of video streamer's for theora and on the freebsd side there are none, as far as i know.

so it seem's i have to turn over to the gentoo linux box to put my theora stream on my icecast server.

because i have the following error when i try to connect to the server:

Code: Select all

vlc -vv /home/rik/dvd/Madagascar.avi :sout=#transcode{vcodec=theora,vb=256,scale=1,acodec=vorbis,ab=32,channels=1}:std{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=videosource:password@192.168.30.4:8000}

Code: Select all

[dionoea]

Try this instead :

Code: Select all

vlc -vv /home/rik/dvd/Madagascar.avi :sout="#transcode{vcodec=theora,vb=256,scale=1,acodec=vorbis,ab=32,channels=1}:std{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=videosource:password@192.168.30.4:8000} "

(the shell is changing your command line before VLC even gets to read it which explains the errors)

[bytebanditkiller]

thank you for your answer...

yes you where right i had not the right syntax i was too tired. but after all now there must be maybe another wrong usage i have a problem.

BECAUSE i have the exactly same error like on my OSX system that i posted before:

no sout access module matched "shout"

Do you have a idea what is wrong there? i whould be very very pleased to solve this problem.

I have compiled the following sources

Code: Select all

vlc-devel-0.8.5.20060114_3

i have used the folloging command:

Code: Select all

vlc -vv /dvd/Madagascar.avi :sout="#transcode{vcodec=theora,vb=256,acodec=vorb,ab=32}:std{access=shout,mux=ogg,url=videosource:gogoget@192.168.30.4:8000/video.ogg}"

i have tried also many variants of syntax --sout "# --sout='# i also tried every variant with the blanc space before the last " and without.

thank you and everyone for answers.

[Guest]

i have similar problem i can get it to transcode ogg

[ajoaoff]

The nightly builds are still without the shout module. Could somebody please fix that?

Thanks

[ig_nefer]

I'm trying to reformat a broadcast from WMA to MP3

My source is http://216.145.239.244:8080

I'm using following sintax treformat it to MP3 and send it to a mounitng point /igtest on a shoutcast server
:sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=32,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=raw,url=hackme@216.86.149.246:8000/igtest}}

But, not very lucky at that.

Please help!
