Hi folks,<br><br>This isn't really related to the discussion but here's the video I was talking about last night. Darth Vader with alternative voices - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A0rwG39Jzk">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A0rwG39Jzk</a><br>
<br>I'll let you get back to the technical talk now :)<br><br>Dan<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 4, 2010 at 11:45 AM, Sebastian <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:shop@open-t.co.uk">shop@open-t.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

That looks a useful command. Instead of running several vlc windows<br>
and using Alt-Tab, run one instance with all the streams<br>
<br>
cvlv stream1 stream2 ...<br>

<br>
Is this a documented feature? I thought that cvlc would only take one<br>
single input stream as argument. Otherwise, how would it know what to<br>
do with all the streams - where to display or send them all?<br>
<br>
I know there can be multiple output streams though.<br>
<br>
Edit: just looked it up. This is from the VLC wiki:<br>
<br>
"You can specify multiple streams on the commandline. They will be<br>
enqueued in the playlist.<br>
The first item specified will be played first."<br>
<br>
So it seems that as long as data keeps on coming down the first stream,<br>
the subsequent streams are ignored.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
That's right, unless you press n to switch to the next stream (just as<br>
when you are watching a series of files and you use n to skip to the next<br>
before the current one has finished).<br>
<br>
I tried it with two HTTP streams (from motion) and n toggled between<br>
them each time it was pressed, so it looks like it should do exactly what<br>
you need with the six streams. I thought it would need the --repeat<br>
option to go back to the first stream but that wasn't necessary here.<br>

Thanks Neil. That is interesting. So I should be able to send the "n" with xvkbd and switch between the streams. I will try it out as soon as I have a chance. That's excellent.<br><font color="#888888">
