Quick question about command-line option

Postby Mercury048 » 28 Feb 2009 03:08

In the 0.8 series I used ot be able to stream using a command line like this:
C:\Progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC09~1.8A\vlc.exe D:\Movies\1.avi :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=4096,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=192,channels=2}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=192.168.0.22:56565}
This doesn't work any more in the 0.9 series. I have to use "duplicate" instead of "std" like this:
C:\Progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC09~1.8A\vlc.exe D:\Movies\1.avi :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=4096,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=192.168.0.22:56565}}
I spent over two hours troubleshooting this problem before I stumbled on the solution. I couldn't find any information about why my original command wouldn't work. I'm still not understanding what's wrong with it.

Can someone explain please?

yeah, the issue is that you used 'url' in the 1st example, while you should have used 'dst'

D'oh! :oops: Missed that.

Still, why did this work in 0.8.6 and not in 0.9?

That's not an answer (or even a grammatical sentence), but OK.
