how to record with libvlc?

[dl_sfl]

hi, i'm a new, i want to know how to record a stream into file? i use ActiveX Plugin and write follow delphi code:

VLCPlugin1 := TVLCPlugin2.Create(Self);
VLCPlugin1.Parent := Self; // Means: Place the VLC-Player into Form1
VLCPlugin1.Width := 400;
VLCPlugin1.Height := 300;
VLCPlugin1.Top := 50;
VLCPlugin1.Left := 50;
VLCPlugin1.Show;
VLCPlugin1.playlist.add(uri, '', 'sout=#duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=file,dst=c:/u.ts}}');
VLCPlugin1.playlist.play;

but it's not work, how can i do?

The ActiveX plugin has record disabled for obvious security reasons.

oh thanks.

One more question: For libvic.dll that ver is 0.9.9, I can play the video with libvic_new now. But how to record that video while playing?

Did you get an answer?

Do I presume recording is imposible with VLC when using activex type library?
Is there anyway to get recording to work? I would be happy to pay a reasonable price for the delphi 2007 VLC type library source.
Or have I misunderstood the remark that it is disabled for security reasons?

I thought I d try one more time
Has anybody got any example delphi code exampe or syntax on use of Delphi to record a dvb-t stream.
I have tried everything except the one that works.

Here is a snippet of what I am doing presumably wrong.

VLCPlugin1.addTarget('dvb-t://frequency=' + adoqrychannels.fieldbyname('freq').asstring + ' dvb-bandwidth=7,' + 'dst=display, sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ps,dst=c:\videos\TV.ps}}', null, VLCPlayListInsert, 0);

Everything works up to dvb-bandwidth=7 for playback.

The record is the problem.

I can use the VLC GUI in windows No Problems.

The syntax is somewhat different when passing to the addtarget in Delphi.

I worked out we do not need the : symbol before the dvb entry as the compiler puts it in anyway.
Just cannot see the wood for the trees with this one.
Any ideas. PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEE

Record with ActiveX is purposedly not possible. You need to talk directly to LibVLC.

[mortechsystems]

Sorry to be an annoyance to the master programmers.

This is what I suspected. Is this due to certification issues from MIcrosoft? Not being able to record the stream? I understand why if that is the case.

Is there a Delphi component that I can buy to get a codec to write to file with libvlc?

Or is there a Delphi type library that will do the trick.

Are there any examples in delphi to access libvlc directly?

David

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

This has nothing to do with certifications. It's an obvious and trivial security problem.

I will try to make it work with 0.99 version
might do better
