Thanks bpa. I am trying to get everything working through the gui first. i.e. Get logging working as required and get the same stream going as is started when I use the your plugin. As you say we can then see if it fails and if so what is logged as a result. Then if it helps I can get the same stream going to a null device to get sb out of the equation. I'm getting there with the logging. I just need to get the stream going as it does using your plugin. bpa;610378 Wrote: > The main point of having a log file is to see whether VLC produces an > error messages before locking up and to see if a useful error message > is shown whenever you try to run vlc and it fails to play.

I'll try this first now that I have logging going as expected and come back to you. bpa;610378 Wrote: > Sometimes the PC vendors drivers are a bit out date compared to the card > vendor - Hauppauge show driver 1.47.29239 as being the latest.

Yes the problem I had was that the latest one on the hauppage site didn't work at all, I couldn't play anything through the card. I called Dell ts and they said I should use theirs. I did and it all worked fine. That said, the one on hauppage is newer so I may try it. I can roll back if it all goes belly up. bpa;610378 Wrote: > Regarding wav - it is not normal to stream wav.

Ok I understand this, I think. What is throwing me is the command lines in your custom-convert.conf file. They are all using "acodec=s16l" which is wav is it not? This is what I am trying to achieve in order to emulate the stream setup by the plugin through the gui. I think I need a bit more explanation of this (sorry I'm a bit dim :-) Is your plugin streaming over http? of not what and why? Again many thanks for all your help. -- 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 [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
