How to implement 'bandwidth limiter' in ActiveX in VB .Net?

[heijmink]

Hi,
I have a small Windows utility in VB, to play the H.264 stream from an IP camera.

Dim lowres As String = ""
Dim options As String = ":rtsp-tcp"
If CheckBox4.Checked = True Then lowres = "/now.mp4?res=low"
Form2.AxVLCPlugin21.playlist.add("rtsp://" + TextBox1.Text + lowres, "name", options)
Form2.AxVLCPlugin21.playlist.play()

This play the stream from the camera just fine, and the :rtsp-tcp option is in effect.

I'm now trying to find a way to limit the bandwidth of the stream.
I found there is a VLC option called 'access-bandwidth <integer>'
See: https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation ... bandwidth/

Bandwidth limiter
--access-bandwidth=<integer>
Bandwidth limit (bytes/s)
The bandwidth module will drop any data in excess of that many bytes
per seconds.

Apparently, this Bandwidth limiter is part of a module. (access-filter?)

When I try to apply the option 'access-bandwidth=10000' it has no effect.

When I use VLC from the command line like:
vlc --access-filter bandwidth --access-bandwidth 131072 rtsp://10.120.2.19
It says:
"VLC medial player could not start. Either the command line options were invalid or no plugins were found."

My questions:
- How can I load the module or plugin that allows me to use access-bandwidth for VLC ?
- How can I use this module or plugin in the VLC ActiveX component?

Thanks in advance!

The bandwidth module no longer exist, and even when it did exist, it was not compatible with RTSP.

Thanks Rémi.
It look like I need to find a solution outside the VLC ActiveX then.

Regards, and a happy 2015.

So I understand the --access-bandwidth=<integer> doe no longer exist.
In the link https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation ... bandwidth/ it is not mentioned that this no longer exists.
How can you tell what controls and parameters are actually in effect in the current version of VLC?
I just want to make sure I don't count on something that is no longer there..
Thanks in advance for your help,
Kind regards
