Directshow Encoding problem

[joolzg]

What i am trying to do is take an external stream, transcode to MPEG2 and stream to my MPEG2 receiver, now If i start VLC and then use the stream wizard i get the transcoded stream out on 224.10.0.4:1234 and everything is ok

If i then save the playlist (see below)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" xmlns:vlc="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/ns/0/">

It might be better to create .bat file for that.

[joolzg]

ok but is this a BUG?

would it not be nice to fix it instead of a workaround!

For security reason some playlist auto open features were removed. So I assume it is same case in this one.

[joolzg]

can you point me to some link for more information please

If you mean .bat file, then create new text file and paste following text to it

Code: Select all

vlc dshow:// :dshow-vdev=PCTV 100e/150e Device :dshow-adev= :dshow-caching=200 :dshow-vdev= :dshow-adev= :dshow-size= :dshow-chroma= :dshow-fps=0 :no-dshow-config :no-dshow-tuner :dshow-tuner-channel=0 :dshow-tuner-country=0 :dshow-tuner-input=0 :dshow-video-input=-1 :dshow-audio-input=-1 :dshow-video-output=-1 :dshow-audio-output=-1 :dshow-amtuner-mode=1 :dshow-audio-channels=0 :dshow-audio-samplerate=0 :dshow-audio-bitspersample=0 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=400,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=224.10.0.4:1234}}

and rename it to something.bat
