The VideoLAN Forums

Hello all,

I'm using VLC in Windows with the hopes to be able to stream from the Cable input on my All-in-Wonder VE card. The card does have a DirectShow Capture interface (ATI Rage Theatre Video Capture) and my Soundcard correctly shows in the Audtio device drop down box.

Now, by simply selecting these two items and trying to stream, I get no output. My assumption is that it has something to do with the fact that my AIW card has several possible inputs. Is there a way to specify a specific input/channel. Has anyone been able to successfully stream or even view a DirectShow input from an All-in-Wonder card? If so I would very much appreciate some directions on how to get it to work.

Thanks in Advance!

I had a similar problem with my WinTV card. You need to open up the ATI TV program and change it to the channel/input you want. Then load up VLC with the ATI TV program still open and it should all work.

Thanks for the tip m8 :>

I have this a try. First I started the ATI MMC TV Application and turned to a channel I wanted to stream. Then I opened VLC, went to the streaming wizard. For the source I selected the DirectShow tab, selected the correcte DirectShow driver and the Audio driver. I entered a standard size. On the Stream window I selected a HTTP stream with MPEG-TS, transcoded (I also tried without) and then attempted to stream. In the messages, it can never open the video. So unfortunately I was unable to get it to work with this method (thanks for the tip though).

Anyone else have a suggestions?

Maybe this is a better questions. Are there any other attributes taht may be given on the directshow murl other than then 3 provided? I do see in VLS there are some options to select the component of the card one is using, what about with VLC, the ability to sepcify the frequency/device..

VLC can do this on linux (just like VLS), but not on windows. Probably because the developer that made the directshow module don't have a tv-card
