vlc trying to display while using --sout?
Posted: 06 Oct 2008 14:16
Hello,
I'm trying to get started on streaming by VLC.
The streaming manual says (I know it's outdated, but all doc sections on wiki are outdated or under construction):
"Stream output is the name of the feature of VLC that allows to output any stream read by VLC to a file or as a network stream instead of displaying it."
So, it's not trying to display, but redirecting to sout. Right?
But im getting errors like:
indicating that vlc IS trying to display the stream, and it fails, obviously. I have no /dev/dsp and I'm using vlc via ssh, so there's no fb whatsoever.
Im using the example from the manual:
It doesn't work, but that's another problem.
Is this a normal behaviour and those errors should appear, or is the manual really outdated and I'm doing everything wrong?
