OK I have the logging working now :) I just want to be clear what I am trying to do now...
I am trying to run the same command line from custom-convert.conf which I see as [vlcholder.bat] -I dummy --dummy-quiet --no-video --no-sout-video dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=$TUNERFREQ$ :dvb-bandwidth=8 :dvb-caching=300 :program=$TUNERPROG$ :sout=#transcode{acodec=s16l,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=raw,dst=-}} | [flac] -cs --totally-silent --endian=little --channels=2 --sign=signed --bps=16 --sample-rate=44100 --compression-level-0 - Which I translate to use in the gui to vlc dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=842000 :dvb-bandwidth=8 :dvb-caching=300 :program=18560 :sout=#transcode{acodec=s16l,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=raw,dst=null}} | [flac] -cs --totally-silent --endian=little --channels=2 --sign=signed --bps=16 --sample-rate=44100 --compression-level-0 - where I have substituted your frequency and program variables for actual values and replaced the dst=- with dst=null. If I have this right I am expecting vlc to tune in the program and play it to null, i.e. dump the output and play silence? If this is so how will I know when and if it stops? Would I not be better allowing it to play localy? I'm assuming the idea is to see if vlc can play from the tuner card without streaming the output to eliminate (or otherwise) vlc player from the problem? Sorry if I'm being a bit verbose here but I like to get things clear in my mind. -- cliver ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliver's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43289 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21804 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
