vlm: setting the caching time

[tacker]

hi,
i am suing VLM. i am getting my streams over http as TS, transcode them to a different format and give them out over http in TS.
my question is, can I some how make the caching longer then 300ms?

I was thinking to use one of this two posiblities:

setup channel1 option network-caching=1500
or
setup sender1 option file-caching=1500

Or would you use something else? I need to encrease the caching of the channel before transcoding, so i have a steady file stream which i can feed vlc with.

thanks for your help upfront.

or maybe it is this:
setup channel1 option live-caching=1500

i just saw also this option:
setup sender1 option http-caching=1500

hi, i would like to delay a live tv feed by one hour.
i was thinking about using --network-caching or --http-caching and set the value to 3600000 miliseconds which is 1 hour.
i gues this wont work. does anyone have better idea which will work?
thx in advance

Use timeshifting module?

hi jean-baptiste,
how do i use the timeshifting module in VLM?
thanks

I don't know how you can use it simply, indeed. I thought it was simpler.

i have enough ram capacity. i could cashe the live stream in the rams for one hour before streaming.
what do you think? is there a way to do that over vlm?

VLC uses time-shifting automatically, when you pause an unpausable stream. But I don't know how to use it automatically..

hi jean-baptiste,
i have found out that if i use "network-caching" with the value 60000 the live stream is cached a minute and than started to stream.
which means i than have an one minute timeshifted live tv. as you know the maximum value to set for "network-caching" is 60000.
do you know a way where i can override the max value 60000 wiht 3600000 so i can get 60 minutes of cashing?
thank you in advance for your answer.
