Using DOS emulator or whatever it is called (cmd) and something like that:

Code: Select all

cd c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC vlc -vvv input_stream --sout #transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128,deinterlace}: standard{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.12.42,sap,name="TestStream"}
@see Command_line wiki page.

On Vista it is C:\Programs\ I think. Anyway, try this (more portable):

Code: Select all

cd "%PROGRAMFILES%\VideoLAN\VLC" vlc -vvv input_stream --sout #transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128,deinterlace}: standard{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.12.42,sap,name="TestStream"}

thanks for the help
i was wondering if there is a way to regroup many vlc commands on one file and then be executed
i heard about things called scripts...
then if you have any information about it it would be great

On Windows, write all your commands into a simple text file naming it whatever.bat (not whatever.bat.txt).

Its icon will become a program one. Running this script will open a terminal which will execute your commands as if you were typing them.

It will take place in forum "VLC stream-output (sout)" )viewforum.php?f=4), on the Documentation:Streaming_HowTo wiki page and on the mailing lists (http://www.videolan.org/developers/lists.html).

NB: Many answers for many questions are already easy to find in the forum, the wiki, mailing list archives (aka google :), etc.

You can add a pause at the end of your script to check what it is doing (it will not disappear), or you can run it from a command line.

It will execute each line after the previous one ends. So if VLC starts, the script will wait for it to stop before executing the next line.

I don't use Windows as a daily basis. But those lines are an example. To get information about what is a bat file, better is to browser the internet and get more familiar with them. There are very simple.
If you have a problem, it is probably in VLC usage. For this, refer to Command_line as said earlier and try things with a pause command at the end to have logs printed.

myScript.bat:

Code: Select all

REM this is a comment REM Run VLC to play a video file in full screen mode. You will be able to quit it using escape key. %PROGRAMFILES%\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe -vv "c:\your\vide\file.avi" --fullscreen --key-quit=ESC REM wait until you press ENTER key iirc pause

You can also replace "c:\your\vide\file.avi" by "%1". Then you should be able to drag&drop a file on the .bat script and %1 will refer to the dropped file-name.
