Stream multiple files on Windows

Postby wedge1001 » 20 Mar 2012 22:16

Hi,
i've got a small problem.
i wanted to stream a few files in a row, but i don't get it work.
i tried the gui - but there i'm not allowed to have more files than 1 streaming, so i get to the command-line (and i tried streaming a playlist, too).
The stream is an http-stream and works fine - until the first file is done.
After that, the server will continue to play, but no stream will be transmittet. the stream will stop and won't continue.

what can i do?
i even tried the "add the gather-tag" from the wiki.
Put in 2.0.1 vlc just crashes everytime in 2.0.0 it won't do anything.

This is the "code" i use for getting the files to stream:

Code: Select all

F:\Neuer Ordner>"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" file1.mp4 file2.mp4 --sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=0,scale=0,height=320,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=:8079/} --sout-keep
anybody an idea how i get this work?
Apart from that everythin works brilliantly.

.
What works for me on VLC 2.0.0?
Using the GUI -
Select one file and, the path would look like this: c:\files\music\artist name - song title.mp3
Then edit the path to look like this: c:\files\music\
Click on the stream button and, go through the normal setup and every file in that folder is stream over HTTP.

So, instead of listing the files as in
...file1.mp4 file2.mp4 ...
in the cli, I would suggest you use c:\files\music\


Return to “VLC stream-output (sout)”
