Save dinamically to file

[tamiro44]

Hi all,
VLC in future versions will able to save stream to file dinamically?
I mean that the user would press a "record button" during video displaying and the video,
from this point, will save to defined file .

Thanks,
Tamiro.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Yes, 1.0 will do this.

[tamiro44]

Great.
And libvlc would let me (through .NET interface) to do that also, right?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Yes.
Everything that VLC can do, libVLC can do.

[tamiro44]

Thanks.
Except writing text dinamically during incoming stream.

No, it can. A bit difficult, but it can.

[tamiro44]

Do you have some examples?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Do you have some examples?

Use Marqee filter.

[tamiro44]

I'm using the Marqee filter for titles.
But how can i update during a stream playing?

[darkbasic]

Yes, 1.0 will do this.

Really? How to (I have 1.0-git and I can't find it)? Is it possible for an http stream to save tracks separately using meta data for the file name?

Because 1.0.0 isn`t finalised yet.

I have few questions on this topic:

1. - When playing video stream,will disabling video via Video>Video track save bandwidth?

2. - When playing video stream on slow connection,video is choppy and freezes,but if I choose to save that stream to a file,will program be able to do it recording data chunk by chunk as it arrives,so when file is played,it will go on smoothly?

3. - On panel for choosing format in which video stream will be saved,every profile has in its options selected MPEG-TS as its mode of encapsulation.Is this normal or not?

4. - What is the file extension I should add to a file name in Destination file field if I want to save video stream as Video - H.264 + AAC (TS)?

[VLC_help]

1. No. RTSP might allow behavior like that, but I am not sure.
2. Not for all formats.But for most formats it should work.
3. This should be fixed in latest 1.0.0 builds.
4. If you use TS, then select .ts

[tamiro44]

About question number 4:
If the stream is H.264 in payload type 96 (dinamically)? which file format to choose?

[VLC_help]

If you mean elementary H.264 stream, then try RAW.

[tamiro44]

movie.RAW? just like that?

[VLC_help]

Suitable file extension for ES H.264 streams is usually .264, but file extensions shouldn't be issue.

[tamiro44]

OK.
Thanks.
VLC_help,
I wondered if you can help me in another subject (didn't get any answer in forum):
How can i change marquee dynamically through rc telnet (since there is no other option).

Thanks,
Tamiro.

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=57201&p=190818&hilit=logo#p190715
that should help about dynamic marquee

[tamiro44]

Thanks very much, i'll try it.
If i want it from code (c#) i should activate a Telnet client, right?
(Since there is no regular option)

[VLC_help]

telnet or RC, both should work.

[tamiro44]

I tried and it works!
But from code: where do i write " -I rc --sub-filter "marq@test{marquee=Hello}" "
At init options? and from where i can control on @test? i don't have a VLC command line in order to change @test marq.

Thanks again.

[VLC_help]

Yep, at init. And you connect to telnet or RC interface using putty or another client.

[tamiro44]
