Hi Everyone,

I'm a total newbie to VLC so if this question seems stupid I apologize in advance. What I am attempting to do is stream a movie from a file in a server (OpenSuse 10.2) to Windows client machine (Windows XP SP2) on a different subnet. I am able to stream the movie no problem, but no matter what I do no overlays appear on the client side (I'm transcoding the stream) and I would really like to be able to display a small logo on the client machine.

vlc -vvv SomeMovie.avi --logo-file /home/user/Desktop/Logo/Biptvlogo8.png --avi-interleaved --h264-fps 25 --sout udp:239.255.1.1 --ttl 3:sout=#transcode{sfilter=logo,vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=mp4,dst=239.255.1.1:1234,sap}} :sout-all

I'm totally stumped and any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Can no one help me?

I'm doing this for a school project and I'm feeling pretty desperate. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

why u have 2 sout in your command ??

Oh mostly because I'm a total newbie at this. Trying to learn CLI commands on the fly. So which sout should I remove?

Thank you so much for your help!!!

Well I was able to get it working (more or less --- kind of slow and choppy on the client side).

Hopefully that might help someone having the same problem as me.
