Multiple VLC Versions

[jascdvb]

Hi

 

for streaming I need the 0.8.6 of VLC. Okay, I got that.

 

Is it possible to use a newer Verion within Windows for viewing VideoFiles and have a second installation for the DVBViewer streaming ??

 

Thanks

Jan

You only need 0.8.6 installed on recording server if you are planning to transcode the stream, not if streaming native .ts. So, yes you can install a newer VLC version if you want and remove 0.8.6. On Client PC you can use whatever VLC version you want.

yeah. but if he wants to trancode stream AND use a newer version on the PC. That is the question.

Why do anybody need to transcode the stream for, unless you are not having like 5 streaming processes going at once (which would require a fat CPU)? Most folks has fast enough LANs and WLANs today so they should be abled to stream native .ts. Only case transcoding would be useful is for streaming over internet.

The path to vlc is determinated by the installation data in the registry of vlc.

Can you give me the exact registry path?

 

Yes, I want both versions on my computer since I do everything on one machine and this makes it a little tricky. I want to have streaming and at the same time windows should use the new vlc version.

 

Is there a possibility in the config xml files of DVBViewer to set a vlc path?

 

Currently I would install both versions in different paths and then try to get it the way I want
