with vlc-cli and adding a bunch of plugins.)
Is there some advantage here? I don't want to lose the ability to

to use vlc from rpmfusion.

First thing I noticed is that my vlc panels started failing because the

Also some links show a message, e.g.:

Alex: > It just displays "udp://127.0.0.1:5000" in the Title. You'd need to look in the *location* box, that'd show the URL that VLC is working with. The *title* is just the name it wants you to see, it can be set differently. Though may just be the same as the address. UDP, unless there's more than one thing with the same name, is just a very basic part of TCP/IP data transmissions. There needs to be a handling protocol for what you're doing (which could use UDP or TCP for the actual data transmission). e.g. Web pages are viewed using HTTP over TCP. HTTP is how you request what you want, and how it's handled in sending it to you. The data packets are TCP transmissions. If I watch a video stream (from something else) on VLC, I see something like this in the location gadget: rtsp://frontdoor:554/ch01/1/ * rtsp is a streaming protocol (real time streaming protocol) which could use UDP or TCP, but video streaming tends to use UDP. With UDP, data is just streamed at it, and any transmission losses are ignored presuming that you can put up with a tiny blip between data, missing data, more data, more data, bits missing, more data, etc. TCP has more integrity, and reassembles the chunks of data in the correct order, but can be a problem if the stream loses chunks - it needs some other way to skip past it and just keep on going. * frontdoor is the hostname for a particular device * 554 is the port * And the other two /ch01/1/ URL parts are the request for a particular datastream from the device I suspect you're going to strike another problem. Whatever viewer they use not only has to decode and display the stream, but give you some way to select what you want to watch. Unless you have some remote control device that directly controls their box, I don't know how you'd select one program from another. Some developer info gives some clues: https://info.hdhomerun.com/info/http_api Which suggests some sort of webpage interface. I'm guessing some kind of menu, you choose your program to watch, it'll come back on a specific URL that'll open in your viewing program. Maybe they've created their own mimetype, just called it udp.

It just displays "udp://127.0.0.1:5000" in the Title.

It does, but there's no ability to control which app is used.
This was also confirmed by silicondust support in a roundabout way, at
least. They said there's no ability to configure which app is used.
It appears to me that it's hardcoded/compiled into the HDHomeRun app.
strings and strace on a running binary appears to confirm this.
Oh, I've also now looked at the fedora SRPM and see that it's hardcoded:
$ grep -r vlc *
src/Viewer.cpp: ExeName = "vlc";
src/Viewer.cpp: OSStatus appStatus =
LSFindApplicationForInfo(kLSUnknownCreator, CFSTR("org.videolan.vlc"),
NULL, NULL, );
src/Viewer.cpp: g_string_sprintf(DebugPrefix, "%08lX-%u vlc:", (unsigned
long)Dev->DeviceID, Dev->TunerIndex);
I also tried to follow the instructions on starting vlc first from the
command-line, so I can later try it with smplayer, but couldn't get it to
work:

If you open VLC's media information window (in the tools menu), when it is connected, does it give you any useful info about the stream it's currently playing? DNLA is a set of (alleged) standards about home network streaming. I might guess it needs mDNS (Avahi/ZeroConf) working for the source device to be automatically found by any player devices. It seemed to be working that way when I used a smart TV to look at files on a NAS with a media server built into it (as to how it found the NAS drives by itself). My dabbling with this kind of thing is quite out of date. A friend used some Western Digital media players connected to his TV set, many years ago. They'd find his media store (NAS drives, if I remember correctly, though could have been SMB shares), and the WD media players would trawl through the available contents generating an on-screen menu of things to watch. I could guess that their box has some kind of webserver that you may be able to aim VLC at (using the box's IP address). -- NB: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.

Re: vlc alternative?
if you installed their software then it could be doing anything. it is very likely that they do not have anyone still around who remembers what the software does. You would have to look at it and see if it is a bunch of scripts and/or how it works. I use my HDhomeruns via mythtv. The hardest part of mythtv is the initial setup, once you get it setup about all I have had to do is update the channel list and/or run a scan every so often because the broadcast channels keep changing frequencies.

Hi Alex,
I could ot stand all the bugs in vlc so I switched to SMPlayer.
I stream music all the time.
Here is my keeper on SMPlayer:

Re: vlc alternative?
ffplay is command line and seems to be able play streams. I think mplayer works for streams but the format of the connection stream may be odd. And if you are using an hdhomerun you could just wire it up to mythtv and let it record the stream(s) and then you watch it a few seconds behind via mythtv's frontend. I have 4 (3 still working, need to get another power unit) hdhomeruns tuners.

Wow! NOT a good fit for your use case. Like walking with a stone

Agree that if vlc isn't fit for OP's purpose, then find another player.
I would never hit these. It sounds like you could probably use an
audio player like audacious instead, since you aren't bothering with
the video.
If vlc is being launched from the command-line, one can try the
"--novideo" option. There should be a similar option available via
the menus.
Occasionally, I will go through and dump the video.
Here are my notes:
ffmpeg to convert MP4, webm movies to audio only OGG:
$ dnf whatprovides ffmpeg

To remove video and caonvert to ogg audio:
ffmpeg -i video.any -vn -acodec libvorbis audio.ogg
To convert many files:

smplayer depends on mpv/mplayer. And mpv is based on mplayer.

vlc has one or two features I like. But:
I'm running mpv since ages, after running mplayer before. And even on
Windows I used it ("mpv.exe", IIRC) And never looked back again: mpv's
options to play anything that has video or audio in it are
uncountable. Just have a look at the documentation.
mpv is mostly keyboard-driven - so if someone doesn't like that ...
For me at least this software is a lot easier to handle that any
GUI-based player I know about: e.g. if one wants to play a whole
folder with files in it, all that's needed is:
mpv /path/to/some/folder
to add a window with info about the files it plays, just add
"--force-window" to the previous command. Fullscreen: type "f".
Typing 'i' then gives the specs of the file. Capital "I" makes the
info stay.
And if folks are too lazy to type (I'm nearly always lazy) they can
run mpv with an xbox controller, turned with a nice driver (xboxdrv)
into a remote control.

I nearly always use VLC for playing things, but I often use mpv for those double-click on unknown video files to figure out which is which.

Good morning,
When I put a commercial video DVD into my tower's disc player, gnome launches "Videos". But in the
gnome "Settings" tool, it's set to launch "VLC media player" for videos. VLC is what I
want. How do I get my workstation to do what I want when I put a video DVD into my tower's disc player?
It's not a "video" as such. Go to settings, removable media.
That fixed it.
Thank-you, Samuel.
Bill.

MKV (Matroska) containers can be nested and contain multiple audio and/or subtitle tracks, and I think are in some ways more flexible than MP4s, e.g. I've often created MKV files that contain MP4s (and VLC can play them), but maybe someone who knows what they're talking about should chip in here. poc ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

vlc and mp4 or mkv
idk if anyone is having this problem or not, but creating a mp4 or mpg using vlc seems to be impossible. I have been trying with windows and IDK if that makes a difference but I also have the f37 live workstation environment. I can decrypt a dvd, copy and watch a dvd, and even create an iso using genisoimage. I cannot though create an mp4 or mpg. My latest attempt seemed to copy a title video_ts copy and convert that but the "link in the chain" to other VOBs and such did not continue. This is in regards to vlc which runs on windows and linux, but I have tried several codecs together. aac, aac3, mp4 and mpg, and mkv. There is something always off. IDK if this is helpful in regards to a problem. But I try to save movies/videos as an iso or if there is no special feature a much smaller mpeg. vlc seems to be unbelievably complex if it can create/convert an ISO or VOBs to mpg4 or another container format. Has anyone else struggled with this problem and found a solution? Can these things be done using the live image workstation?

I fixed it by removing the config file with: $ mv ~/.config/vlc ~/.config/vlc--00--maybe-broken If you don't need the old config, try it. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one. Also been launching VLC from a terminal lately and sometimes it also doesn't terminate cleanly that way. I close the VLC window, it disappears from system panel, but in the terminal window the prompt is not returned. Ctrl-c returns the prompt and VLC doesn't show up anymore in system monitor. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Some badly encoded files being played, or a badly written codec that handles it. I find some files would jam up VLC hard, and it couldn't be quit without a reboot. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.8.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 12 16:57:42 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.

When this happens, check the system panel. Do you see a VLC icon there? Right click and exit. Does this clear up your terminal window? VLC, for me, has this background task that stays running unless I exit it. In addition when I pause videos, it still sits chewing 100% CPU time, or rather 200% in this case on my little 2 core netbook. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
