Windows Media Encoder to VLC to WM Clients -stream is padded

Postby rbaevergreen » 30 May 2006 04:14

I am using Windows Media Encoder 9 to create a mms stream which is then picked up by a VLC Client and sent out again using sout. If I set the settings to 219kbits on the encoder and have WM Player grab directly from that, it says 219, however after VLC puts it back out, it says 1012 kbits as if VLC is padding it somehow.

I use mmsh://ipaddressofencodingpc:port in VLC and :sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=:1234}} to put the stream out on 1234 or the desired port in VLC.

Am I configuring VLC wrong and this is why it's doing this?

Was there ever a solution for this?

I'm having the same problem, and vlc seems to pad even worse. On a 100K stream, it's coming out as 1.5Mbps

nope, I was hoping the topic reply notification was someone having the answer. maybe WMP only thinks its padded and it's not.

Actually it's not a WMP problem because I played the stream on winamp and it is also 1.5M
