Help Needed - trying to stream .M3U - Bug?

[noknok]

Ok, I have run into an issue whereby I am trying to stream a .M3U file over ASF.

The M3u containus 2 videos, in wmv format.

The command I am using:

Code: Select all

vlc -I dummy c:\test.m3u --sout-keep --loop :sout=#transcode{width=128,height=96,vcodec=WMV2,vb=300,fps=5,acodec=wma2,ab=48,channels=2,samplerate=22050}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=192.168.2.205:8082/stream.wmv}

Problem, is VLC just plays the two videos on my screen, says its opening httpd... but never does, just plays the two videos in a window on my screen.

VLC 1.0.1 Windows

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Here is the M3U:

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U #EXTINF:0,SkatingBabies C:\ffmpeg\SkatingBabies.wmv #EXTINF:0,tbcopy C:\ffmpeg\tbcopy.wmv

Here is debug out trying to play M3U:

It destroys the defined sout for mmsh??

As a matter of note, in case anyone else is trying to stream multiple WMV files as 1 stream, I have been able to somewhat get it working....

If i point to a locally created .ASX file as the source, it works, kinda. It plays the first file, then about 5 seconds before the end of the first, it pauses/buffers the player, then begins playing the second stream auto, but cutting off about 10 seconds of the beginning of the second video. so overall losing about 15 seconds of the stream, but in the end allowing multiple input sources to be streams as 1 out put stream.

Still a bug, but a somewhat workable solution for now.
