Change streaming file without down the server

[eduardonunesp]

Hi, i'm using the cvlc in linux, and i must do a streaming of a video, but i must change for another video without down the server, so the client will continue connected without any interruption. For example i'm streaming a video of car racing, but in certain moment the video will change for a different point in racing.

Sorry by the dumb question, now i understand better the daemon functionality and other intfs, like telnet and playlist stuff.

Is this solved then? Put solved and add some better explanation.

I like using vlm interface also using telnet ofcourse. You can add the inputs you want and change between them transparently to the user.

Thanks guys, i found the answer i'm using the intf rc, it's very simple to control remove VLC by telnet.

To control VLC by telnet simple use rc interface (-I rc --rc-host=HOST:PORT)

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/cvlc -vvv --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=asf,http-host=10.1.1.2:8080}' -I rc --rc-host="10.1.1.2:7777

And then, connect with telnet by the command:

Code: Select all

telnet 10.1.1.2 7777

So the console will be open, to see the available commands, simple type "help" and press Enter.
