I've just tested on my PC (local)

1) VLC->file->Open Network Stream->UDP/RTP (other settings not touched) -> Ok
2) then activate the LAN streaming in DD.


* make sure the port numbers are the same and any firewall doen't block DD and VLC

I have gotten it to work sporadically, was getting mtu size errors in vlc, so I used a command line option to increase and it the error message went away, but still only works sporadically. I can watch the network activity, vlc counts the packets arriving, but - no display. Still playing 192.168.1.5 ->192.168.1.2

Anybody have a streaming for dummies tutorial? I just can't seem to get this to work, I don't really know the basics of how to configure this.
Any help is appreciated.
I think you wil see this kind of question often, now that the feature has been added.
Network settings;
host=192.168.0.6
client=192.168.0.5
router=192.168.0.1
firewall off (windows)
VLC media player on the client machine
streaming enabled on DD, pointed at 192.168.0.5 port 1234

I don't think so, even if I use it just few days, it works good with VLC.

I have few questions too:

1. Picture is lost when I switch a channel, is it a bug, or some options have to be changed in VLC?

2. Is it possible to broadcast more than one channel, or even switch channels from the same TP? If not, I'll start a suggestion, but I'm not sure how it could work. It would be useful for DVB-T cards with just one/few TPs/frequencies.

Thanks.

O.K. , I've discovered the source of my streaming problem, I am posting here for the benefit of others.
It seems that some video codecs just will not stream. I was using intervideo, which works well for the T.V. output, but will not stream! A quick change to video renderer 9 fixed the problem. I wish I would've tried that 2 days ago! :P

Simple question, can I use some command line in VLC to open DD network stream? I mean that I would create the shortcut to desktop and it would automatically start VLC and play video from DD. Thanks.

yep; you can pass client url to VLC as cmd line parameter.
for example

Code: Select all

c:\progra~1\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe udp://@192.168.1.255
and it should open automatically. you can try passing it --help instead this and it will create a file vlc.txt with commandline parameters reference. you can even start it in full screen.

Thanks pvdeejay. :)

It works also like this:

Code: Select all

D:\Programs\VLC\vlc.exe udp://@:1234
FredB, perhaps you could add it here - it's very simple, everyone can create shortcut to desktop and add " udp://@:1234" next to vlc.exe, so it might be useful.

Yes, I'll add it... I should have already added it as I already use command-lines to start VLC on DD broadcasting :oops:

Edit FredB : Added :wink:

NB : As you can see on the other topic, if the port used for netstreaming is the default VLC netstreaming port (ie : "1234") there is no need to notify it in the command-line parameters.

If I find enough free time, I'll try to create a little executable file to assist users in creating such command-lines.
