OK a solution for using VLC instead of ffmpeg using the PlayHLS plugin
which is less dangerous than the other plugin I have.
1. change custom-convert.conf file
Code:
--------------------
# PlayHLS rules to start VLC application for Linux
hls flc * *
# RB:{BITRATE=-B %B}T:{START=-ss %s}
[playhls.sh] $FILE$ -I dummy -q --no-sout-video --sout
'#transcode{acodec=flac,channels=2,ab=128,samplerate=44100}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=-}}'
vlc://quit -
--------------------
2. The playhls.sh file in the plugin Bin direcotry shoul;d be executable
and have the following
Code:
--------------------
#!/bin/sh
scriptpid=$$
apppid=/tmp/.playvlc-app.$$.pid
app=cvlc
echo Streaming: Launching $app "$@" >&2
(
sleep 0.2
"$app" "$@" &
echo $! > $apppid
wait
rm -f $apppid
kill $scriptpid 2> /dev/null
) < /dev/null &
cat > /dev/null
if [ -s $apppid ] ; then
kill `cat $apppid` 2> /dev/null
fi
--------------------
The value for sleep in the playhls.sh file will depend on the speed of
the processor and number of cores as timing delays between vlc and lms
getting their pipes connected can cause this to fail.
