Unknow --sout option

[jbolivar]

Hello, I'm try to stream a DivX file using VLC 0.7.2 using a Red Hat Linux Enterprise 3 server and using the command line VLC show me the message unknow --sout option
I'm installed the VLC 0.7.2 using the RPMs downloaded from the VideoLAN web page.
Also I try using the sames RPMs on Fedora Core 2 and I got the same message.
Before Install the VLC 0.7.2 I used the 0.7.1 version and it work fine
Anybody know why VLC 0.7.2 don't understand the --sout option?

Thanks and Regards

The syntax of the sout-option changed some time ago. It's possible that this has happend with this update.

Could you post your exact sout-option so we can have a look at to check it for the correct syntax and perhaps reproduce a bug?

Hello, I used that syntax:

vlc -vvv v4l:/dev/video:norm=secam:frequency=543250:size=640x480:channel=0:adev=/dev/dsp:audio=0
--sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=3000,ab=256,vt=800000,keyint=80,deinterlace}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.255.12.13}' --ttl 12

I got it from the VLC HOWTO Manual, it work fine if I configure VLC from the GUI but from the command line it show me the error that --sout is not a valid option

thanks and regards

At least under Windows, I use ":" for sout, not "--", use "=" to define the sout part, and don't use the single quotes " ' "

In other words, :sout= not --sout'

In other words, for me a good line is:
vlc c:\myfile.mpg :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.20.30.40:1234}}

Don't know if linux works the same.
