A little background first:
VLC-0.8.2 on FC4 (installed rpm via yum w/all dependencies resolved)
All video/audio formats play beautifully.
The problem:
When trying to stream ANY video, I only get the audio portion of the stream (using either VLC or WMP on client machine).
The command:
vlc -vvv test.mpg --sout '#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,acodec=mp3,vb=512,ab=64,channels=2}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=:8090}' 2> debug.log
Random thoughts:
This command produces the same results whether its run on FC4 or Windows (audio only... no video). Here's the kicker: if I put in a bogus acodec parameter, the audio portion errors out and the video streams great! Gotta be my 'sout' string, right?
The debug output:
