The VideoLAN Forums

I tried to make a stream from a local image file (jpg file mot mjpeg).
The command is:
vlc -vvv fake: --fake-file=/var/www/images/test.jpg --sout '#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=600}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=:8084}' --fake-fps=5 --fake-caching=1000 --rc-host=localhost:1084 --rc-fake-tty --loop --sout-keep
This is working fine, but when i change the file (wget from another server), the image from the stream remains the same.

rc or telnet interface does not help me to change the output stream.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks,
Vio

the fake input only loads the image once. What you could try using is the switcher module. Unfortunately, no one but Meuuh knows how to use it (you can talk to Meuuh on the videolan IRC chan: #videolan on Freenode)

thanks. I'll do this. Vio

Did you find how to refresh the picture ?
thx

Ok, I found, using telnet control interface.
each time you need to refresh the picture send a command "control mypicturestream play", this can be scripted in php, etc....
