VLC stream-output (sout) | Forum profile

to record the file try this: C:\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe udp://@:5000 --sout '#standard{access=file,mux=ts,dst=F:\v_new.mp4}' as for pressing a button to record it? Not sure, but the above command should atleast record the file.

Works fine here. No ideas.

Since this window depends on the graphical interface, you can try to ask VLC to not load the QtGUI by adding a -I parameter -I dummy should be fatal for the bug report dialog You can also load the CLI using -I rc .

Thanks, but I am definitely not experiencing a firewall issue. The TX and RX VLC's are on the same LAN and communicate with each other with other networking apps quite freely. I just don't know where to start checking this operating mode of VLC

hi j-b, I have tried it and it works. But VLC is writing a ts-file. I need an mp4-file because of further processing with another program. The conversion capability of VLC is not suitable here. I tried different codecs: h264, mpeg-4, mpeg-2, divx3. The video quality degrades with all of them and with some of them even dramatically. How can I get a good quality mp4 file?

Never mind, the links worked fine, the problem was my wireless router had reassigned my IP by the time I tried to use it the first time. I have it working again now. Thanks, John

You would need to make a shell call to vlc to convert your file, and then a webpage to view it. This for internal use only. What kind of shell call would I need to make? I don't even know where to start. Thanks!

Hi, I have installed a VLC player Version 1.0.2 I need to play data from a http stream which needs authentication. In the browser I give http://11.238.159.204 and it opens up an authentication page where I give the user name and password and the video and audio starts playing in the browser at this point of time the address in the broswer is as follows http://211.238.159.204/live.cgi . I tried selecting http under protocol from the...

Great. Will give it a try. Thank you kdh! Just heard that http streaming will be supported in the new flash player 10.1. Would that simplify everything? no more need for ShoutCast in the middle? http://blogs.adobe.com/ktowes/2009/10/r ... ulti-.html
