continuously reading time index in vro files

[HelixX23]

Hi....

got an Ellion HMR700a with timeshift function.

timeshifting creates an vro file.
when i try to view this file which is continuously written forward vlc will stop playing after it reaches the initial read endtime of the file.

i am trying to play this file out of a http connection while i linked the timeshift folder of my HMR70a into the webserver root directory.

could anyone fix this?
or how i am going to fix it myself?

There is Continuous stream option in HTTP(S) access module that might fix your issue.

[HelixX23]

Sorry, can´t find this feature in gui.

only in command line there is a --http-continuous setting.

[VLC_help]

Settings -> Preferences and Input / Codecs and Access modules and HTTP(S) and tick the Advanced options box.

this will not work... any Solution?

Is it realy not possible to play this "Stream" File complete with VLC?

[VLC_help]

If that HTTP option doesn't fix it, you have to code support by yourself.

I haven't seen any patches related to this, but you can naturally test VLC 1.0.0 to check out the current situation
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/?C=M;O=D (branches are 1.0.0)

[VLC_help]

[Honki]

any Solution in new Release?

[VLC_help]

AFAIK no.

[Honki]

Many Users on Emtec, Ellion, Fantec, Xtreamer etc. wait for some Solution

It is some intitial Chance for VLC to get more Users who love this Proggi
