Jul 08, 2009 So, I'm at a Hothouse at BT's Adastral Park campus, doing some work involving remote control of the VideoLan Media Player (aka VLC). VLC is an open source media player with support for a wide range of codecs, and with some fairly sophisticated features like stranscoding, streaming, and remote control via the integrated HTTP server. . The 'search by hash' method will fail on Windows if for video files 2Go (if VLC is compiled with lua 5.1 anyway) /! Troubleshooting /! If you have other issue you can ask for a solution here or on github but please get the full vlc debug log and add it as a pastebin to your post. The procedure is explained here. MacOS 使用vlc指令生成 rtsp流 第一，安装VLC app，可从官网下载，安装之后在以下路径找到VLC指令： /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC.
Luckily we have VLC, a player with which we will be able to add a playlist and allow it to continue running without leaving the YouTube URL open. This allows you to simply minimize VLC and access the selected playlist with one click.

you're right,of course! But it's a great piece of code, anyway!
This works great, but every time I try to record a stream it hangs after 2 minutes and then just stops.
This night (EU time) i recorded a 22 minutes stream from the French channel France 2 (www.france2.fr). The file is about 30 Mb big. No probs so far.
Regarding the Mac/PC problem i related in my post, can anyone reproduce it and may be give me a hint on how to solve it? I suspect some codec problem here.
I really need to play my .wmv streams in my PC as it's a laptop and i'd like to use these videos at work (french culture teaching)
Any hint welcome.
Your hint claims that VLC can capture Real streams. I've been trying to capture the following stream:
rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/cult/doctorwho/realtime/broad1one/wrapper.smi
which came from the website:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/webcasts/realtime/1/realmedia/broadone.ram
and VLC won't let me. I then doubled checked VLC's site and they claim to not support Real Media.
So have you captured a Real stream? If so, how?
- First off, looking through the docs of VLC 0.8.0, I don't see any indication that it is yet able to play RealVideo-encoded files (of course the videolan site states that the current documentation is out of date for the 0.8.0 release. However, I don't even find a reference to this capability in the CHANGES file included with VLC). I suspect VLC can't play RealVideo files for the usual reasons: The RealVideo codecs are proprietary and either legal and/or technical issues make reverse-engineering it difficult or impossible.
- If VLC does play certain *.rm files, might this possibly be due to the fact that the file being viewed is 1) not actually a RealMedia-encoded file, despite being named with an .rm extension? or 2) it contains data encoded with some other codec (i.e. not actually encoded with the RealVideo codecs)? In otherwords, is the RealMedia format also a 'container format' that can use other (non-Real) codecs, much the way Quicktime and .AVI does? If so, then perhaps the *.rm file in question is playable under VLC because it isn't actually using RealVideo-encoded data but something such as MPEG-1 video, that VLC knows how to decode. (I realize usually isn't the case)
- It happens that there is another app, MPlayer that will play RealVideo (v1/v2/v3/v4) files -- except that you have to borrow the decoder component from the actual RealOne Player app. See here for more info. NOTE: This is a similar techique to the hint posted by Durandal that allows Safari to play RealVideo streams.
I don't know if MPlayer will allow transcoding to a different format the way VLC does.
The previously mentioned MPlayer app is a cmd-line utility. While this may be what some folks want, I imagine the rest will be interested in the GUI-based MPlayerOSX instead. You will still need to d/l and install the RealVideo codecs from the Real/Helix site separately. (Instructions are in the *.txt files that come with the MPlayerOSX app)
Anyhow, it turns out that there *is* a simple way to convert *.rm files to AVI-DIVX/MPEG/etc. that I had completely forgotten about: ffmpegX. While it's a nice GUI-based app, the installation is a bit involved since there are 4 files (including the Realvideo libs) that the user must d/l and install themselves, due to license issues.
NOTE:There is an ongoing discussion as to whether or not the use of the Real/Helix libraries are allowed for transcoding purposes. Consult the Real's click-thru EULA prior to d/l-ing if this concerns you]
Thanks for the hint about MPlayer and rm-files. I did exactly what you suggested , only MPlayer doesn't play RealVideo streams - at least not with me.
Hi,
Using the same --sout syntax you can actually take an existing file (vs. a stream) and convert it to an .avi file. You can probably transcode/convert into other formats - the vlc doc supports this - but I haven't properly tried thus far.
The one I really want to try is taking a DVD and converting it into an .avi/divx/etc. - if you've tried this, please post your results.
P.S. be sure to let vlc finish it's work before trying to open the apparently finished new movie when converting - the file size is deceptive: vlc just claims that amount of space at the beginning of the conversion.
I tried using the /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC <URL> --sout <filename> and it didn't work. here's the exact command that I issued in Terminal /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC http://www.dagupan.com/radio/playfromdigitel.asp?vref=11072004-gmasfiles1.wmv --sout /Users/benedict/gma1.avi. I was testing on how to download the news from www.inq7.net.
Longbeard: you must not have read the post all the way through. You can't do this with a http link, you have to view the source code of the page in question and look for a mms link <mms://anything_ending_in.wmv>

Hi all,
I tried to record an RSTP live stream using the latest VLC I downloaded on 10 Mar. The errors I received were:
[00000001] main vlc error: option rt-offset does not exist
[00000001] main vlc error: option rt-offset does not exist
[00000222] main input error: no suitable access module for `rstp://avs2.senate.gov/banking'
[00000237] main input error: no suitable access module for `rstp://avs2.senate.gov/banking'
Any help would be helpful.
thanks,
Rob
Rob, you'd need to post the full URL . - we'd need to see the messages window for the errors/probs etc. - see also http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=49877#49877
and do a few searches in those forums - including on 'keynote'.

I used these options to record an rtsp stream on windows using the 1.0.1 version and after about 3 minutes, closed vlc to check how it did. I was happy to see the video show up, but there was no audio. Do I need to use additional options to include audio?
