Basic and Bluescreen Help!

Postby kevananderson » 25 Oct 2012 07:05

I am trying to achieve the following:
A camera input sent to the blue screen filter in the foreground.
In the background I would like to play music videos selected from a playlist.

I am running windows 7 with a web cam, but if i get that to work, I will be using a sony handycam on firewire.

I have some parts of this working but I run into trouble every time I try the "next" step in getting this to work.

For example - i cannot get the vlm script to accept the input, and instead specify that in the command line.
This causes my webcam to show up on the screen. And i assume that it is streaming as well, but i have not tested it:

Code: Select all

>.\VLC\vlc "dshow://" -I telnet --vlm-conf vlm.conf

Code: Select all

# forground new forground broadcast enabled setup forground output #transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=0,scale=0,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:rtp{dst=192.168.1.99,port=5004,mux=ts,ttl=1} control forground play
I have looked at the examples for setting up a mosaic bridge to the bluescreen filter - but feel that i should be able to get the easy stuff going.

The following does not work, but may show what I am trying to do:

Input from the webcam and stream it to a file and to the display

Code: Select all

# forground new forground broadcast enabled setup forground input "dshow://" setup forground output #duplicate{dst=file{dst="D:\\\\playstream.mp4"},dst=display} control forground play
Input from the camera, chroma-key it, and play a file in the background

Code: Select all

# forground new forground broadcast enabled setup forground input "dshow://" setup forground output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{height=270,width=360,chroma=YUVA,vfilter=bluescreen},select=video}:display #background new background broadcast enabled setup background input D:\\\\Music Video\\\\Carly Rae Jepsen-Call Me Maybe.avi control background play control forground play
Also is there a way to turn on the verbose or something so that I can see what might not be working? I get the impression that if one thing fails the whole script stops.

I need help with my vlm.conf file and with what parameters need to be on the command line. Anyone who knows this please help me out - there are no good manuals.

I am trying to have this ready in 3 days.
