Accept Audio and Video Inputs from separate sources

[vlasky]

Hi,

Can we please add the ability to source audio and video from separate input streams and then combine them together?

I am streaming video from several cameras, but want all of them to use the same audio track from a USB microphone.

What I would like to do, is to create a channel dedicated to streaming the audio as mp3 using the asf mux over http, then feed this as an input into the other channels which will combine it with each video input from the v4l or dc1394 module.

I can also think of other creative uses for this feature, e.g. to have two edited input files, one with audio and another with video and combine them together.

Thanks.

I second that thought!!!

I have some files in my playlist that don't have audio and it would be very nice to select my soundcards input for those items.

You can add extra audio and then select those audio...

I don't understand. Please give an example.

Code: Select all

vlc <maininput> --input-slave <slaveinput>

This is known not to always work.

If it doesn't work for you, just ask and i'll give you another solution.

Can this option be used in VLM mode? What is the correct syntax?

In what circumstances won't the input-slave option work?

[dionoea]

This should be the same:

Code: Select all

setup thing input <input> setup thing option input-slave=<other input>

The only way to know when it won't work is to try.
