1.6 VLC eats my buffer cache, how to I use raw device ? |
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't know what is a raw device, don't even read this answer :-). |
|
|
|
|
|
There is an experimental support for raw devices in libdvdcss. It needs |
|
|
|
|
|
that you set up a raw device pointing to your DVD device (under Linux, |
|
|
|
|
|
use the "raw" utility). Then pass the raw device as second argument, for |
|
|
|
|
|
instance : |
|
|
|
|
|
vlc dvd:/dev/dvd@/dev/raw0 |

1.7 How do I use VLC as a client for VLS/VLMS streaming ? |
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
First you must set up a VLS or VLMS stream. Please refer to the |
|
|
|
|
|
documentation of these programs. Then start VLC : |
|
|
|
|
|
vlc udpstream: |
|
|
|
|
|
You shouldn't need any option. If you're paranoid and want to control |
|
|
|
|
|
everything, here is the exact syntax : |
|
|
|
|
|
vlc udpstream:[<server>[:<server port>]][@[<bind address>][:<bind port>]] |
|
|
|
|
|
|

This is a known problem. |

You can raise it with --volume command-line switch. |
