How can the answer be improved? Increasing the buffer cache might fix some of those video and audio stuttering problems. VLC Player makes a great streaming video player, but sometimes it can run into spikes in the stream buffer. Part of this may be due to hardware or network issues, but it could also be because of the 0.3-second default buffer cache.
After selecting an item, the wizard is ready to beginThe following streaming methods are available for use with VLC:. Display locally: display the stream on your screen. This allows you to display the stream you are actually streaming. Effects of transcoding, rescaling, etc. Can be monitored locally using this function. File: Save the stream to a file. HTTP: Use the HTTP streaming method.
Specify the TCP port number on which to listen. MS-WMSP (MMSH): This access method allows you to stream to Microsoft Windows Media Player. Specify the IP address and TCP port number on which to listen. Note: This will only work with the ASF encapsulation method. UDP: Stream in unicast by providing an address in the 0.0.0.0 - 223.255.255.255 range or in multicast by providing an address in the 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255 range. It is also possible to stream to IPv6 addresses. Note: This will only work with the TS encapsulation method.
RTP: Use the Real-Time Transfer Protocol. Like UDP, it can use both unicast and multicast addresses. IceCast: Stream to an IceCast server. Specify the address, port, mount point and authentication of the IceCast server to stream to.The most common way is via. To stream via HTTP, click on 'Destinations', choose HTTP from the drop down as a 'New Destination' and click add. Now if you are streaming video, you will want to stream to something like '/go.mpg.'
Now hit stream, and you should be able to use a different instance of VLC as a client, and listen to that stream now (ex: on the same computer it would be 'Media' menu - Open Network Stream - ' and it should work. Wizard streaming methodA few caveats:. even though you click on 'enable transcoding' and specify some other container type, it will give you the container type unless you use a suffix, like '.mpg'. VLC client cannot receive a stream at less than 5 fps, though it can stream it alright for those speeds (and other players can receive it). NB that.many.
times when using the GUI to stream it will choose the wrong thing. For example, if you give a path of '/' it will use FLV container type (which you probably didn't want, and which overrides your transcoding settings' container type.silently.), and if you give it '/go.mp4' it will.silently.
fail (you can look at the log messages to see what the error is—it says 'mp4 type is not supported except for files'). It is tricky to get it set up. It's like the GUI sets it up wrong most times. Here is a.Select a transcoding profile that fits the codecs and access method of your stream, such as,. You can also create or modify profiles by clicking the 'Edit selected profile' button next to the selection combobox. Transcoding optionsSelect methods to announce your stream. You can use SAP (Service Announce Protocol) or SLP (Service Location Protocol).
You must also specify a channel name. The macOS interface also allows you to export the description (SDP) file of a RTP session using the internal HTTP or RTSP server of VLC, or as a file.
This can be done using the according checkboxes. The SDP URL text box allows to give the url or destination where the SDP file will be available. There is a text box displays the Stream Output MRL (Media Resource Locator).
This is updated as you change options in the Stream output dialog, and can be tweaked by hand if necessary.
VLC skips audio (briefly mutes) every few seconds. I’m sorry to say that none of the suggestions in the forums fixed the problem for me. I play downloaded movies on my TV using an old Sony Desktop. I had been trying for days to solve this problem. It only happens while playing 3D movies, which are my largest files (over 2GB). I usually watch 720p movies that are rarely over 1GB with no audio mute every few seconds.
In the process of searching for a solution, I discovered by serendipity that when I turned off my laptop (elsewhere in the room), the skipping stopped. When I turned my laptop back on, the skipping started again. I have no idea why this is so.
All I do know is that my TV desktop and laptop are linked through a wireless modem. They both use Win 7 64bit, and are connected by a “homegroup” which only shares common “shared files” not including the movie file. My movie files are all on an external hard-drive that is connected to the TV desktop computer. So, that’s it. Turning off my laptop solved the problem. Not by adjusting any VLC settings (which I reset to default).
I do not believe that I use any “Airserver” software. By the way, ALL of my movies play perfectly on Windows Media Player, including the large 3D movies, without any audio skips; and with my laptop on. I do not like to use WMP because it does not play the downloaded subtitles, and it lacks many features that come with VLC. I am happy that I get to continue using VLC. I had a problem with VLC audio hiccuping randomly, and while trying to determine if the CPU load anything to do with it using Microsoft Sysinternals CPUSTRES tool, I discovered the hiccups ceased when under medium to heavy load!
My system has an AMD Phenom X6 and openhardwaremonitor showed CPU clocks as low as 800Mhz during normal operation, the hiccups occured while the CPU clock was throttled to a higher rate. When over half load, the CPU clocks stay at around 2GHz and no hiccups occur.So, to make a long story short, I switched off AMD Cool 'N Quiet in the BIOS, which apparently limits CPU throttling to between 2.8GHz and 3.6GHz and have no problems since.I can't rule out that this is a problem with my hardware setup and/or Windows 8.1, but worth giving a shot if everything else fails.
