I played around with VLC 0.9.2 for a while, and couldn't make it work. It seems broken to me. I'm going to have to recommend that people stick with 0.8.x for now.

Thanks for your work on this wmcbrine. I just got this downloaded w/ the latest vlc and it crapped as Allanon reported. Found here that I needed to downgrade to 8.6i. Did that and now I'm getting:

Compiler did not align stack variables. Libavcodec has been miscompiled
and may be very slow or crash. This is not a bug in libavcodec,
but in the compiler. Do not report crashes to FFmpeg developers.

This is an MMS stream:
url=mms://wm-live.world.mii-streaming.net/live/klove/high_01 and is audio only. I bet that's the issue... Any workaround?

NASA, CNN, etc. play fine (aspect ration is way funky on my panny).

Thanks for all your work on this wmcbrine. I concur, you are a hoopy frood

I'm thinking about how to do audio streams. Stay tuned. (The "Compiler did not align" message is standard, BTW. You'll see that on any stream, video or audio.)

Just checking in to see if you had any more thoughts on streaming an audio only feed. Thanks a bunch.

Hi wmcbrine, in this post, moyekj indicated there's a limit on the stream buffer. I assumed this is why, when streaming a full length movie (xvid ~ 2gb) it stops before the end. Is that true or is there something I can do to fix this? It's not a big deal since I can pull it over w/ pytivo and then have no problem, but it's not as effecient.

I didn't see any changes related to this, so I assume audio only stream is still not supported.

Lastly, I wonder what kind of thoughts you have purcolating re: HULU to TiVo - perhaps through PlayOn or the like. Or, am I just dreamin?

Thanks for your help.

Important tip: read through the thread first. I had a newer version of VLC installed, once I rolled back to the last 0.8 version everything's great.

Thanks for the reply Chew. The wmcbrine's start of the thread indicates the 0.8.6 is the preferred build and I've been using 0.8.6.i, so I'll downgrade from i and give it a go.

Just tried an audio only stream and worked like a charm. Beauty...

Thanks for adding metadata files, it strikes one of my "wishlist" items off :up:

Two other wishlist items:

Is there a 'resume' option available (and I just don't know how to use it)?
Are there any plans for a windows installer, to run as a service?

Those are my last two (which could result in me uninstalling pyTivo).

I'd like to run this as a service as well. Any hopes of that? Thanks,
M
