I'm currently using VLC to multicast from a machine to a network of audio receivers. Everything works but when VLC is closed or the computer gets shutdown at the end of the night I have to re-create the stream the next day. Anyway to make VLC automatically resume its stream settings when it reopnes re-opens with same settings?
I can save a playlist and looking at the text file it seems like the :sout chain is embedded but console reads the following:
[0000000003d8cc00] main input error: unsafe option "sout-keep" has been ignored for security reasons
Here's my workflow:
Media -> Stream -> Add File -> Stream -> Add (RTP A/V Profile) -> Set multicast address -> Finish.
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mpga,ab=320,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:rtp{dst=225.0.0.1,port=5004,sap,name=MyStream} :no-sout-all :sout-keep
