From prdutta at cisco.com Sun Jun 6 17:30:42 2004 From: prdutta at cisco.com (Pranjal Dutta (prdutta)) Date: Sun, 06 Jun 2004 21:00:42 +0530 Subject: Using Network DVD Control Message-ID: <4.3.2.7.2.20040606205054.02f64cb8@codc-mira-1.cisco.com> Hi, I am trying to make for DVD Control/navigation over Network. I had observed that when a DVD is being multicast/unicasted by VLC as Server and I receive the same the Stream over a VLC Client, I don't have traditional control/navigation over the DVD stream from Client. I need to change Titles/Chapters locally at the Server and accordingly the multicast/unicasted Stream Changes. Is there any possibility to hand over the DVD control/navigation to the Client? Because in this case I see that in the Client the "navigation" menu bar shows "empty" which means there is no control available to Client. Is there any possibilty to enable that? Is there any means to communicate to the libdvdplay module in the Server from the Client? Any help will be much appreciated. I would also like to know if any effort in the similar line is being considered by developer community.

As long as the DVD was authenticated on the server side (by running a dvd player for instance) then the client will be able to access all the necessary data and crack the encryption all in software. -- Gildas -- This is the libdvdplay-devel mailing-list, see http://developers.videolan.org/ To unsubscribe, please read http://developers.videolan.org/lists.html If you are in trouble, please contact From prdutta at cisco.com Tue Jun 8 06:48:40 2004 From: prdutta at cisco.com (Pranjal Dutta (prdutta)) Date: Tue, 08 Jun 2004 10:18:40 +0530 Subject: Using Network DVD Control In-Reply-To: <200406061821.48566.gbazin@altern.org> References: <4.3.2.7.2.20040606205054.02f64cb8@codc-mira-1.cisco.com> <4.3.2.7.2.20040606205054.02f64cb8@codc-mira-1.cisco.com> Message-ID: <4.3.2.7.2.20040608101635.02816a10@codc-mira-1.cisco.com> Hi Gildas, Thanks for the solution.Sharing over Network let's say through Apache do you mean to say that I need to store the DVD Content in home directory of Apache and I can access through HTTP of VLC as Client?

I did as follows: VLC is started as Server to Stream a DVD Disc using multicast and also the option "play locally" is selected. Another instance of VLC is started as Client which joins the Multicast group in which the Server streams. First the server plays the Main Menu which is seen at the Client as well as on the local screen. Now on the local screen one Menu item (Title X)is selected. Now the Title starts and accordingly the same change is observed in VLC Client. At this moment before playing out the Selected Title X the Local Screen at the Server Breaks and the Server hangs up. I don't know why this happenned? If I do the same experiment without the "play locally" option at the Server and rather select titles from the Navigation Bar, everything works fine. -Pranjal -- This is the libdvdplay-devel mailing-list, see http://developers.videolan.org/ To unsubscribe, please read http://developers.videolan.org/lists.html If you are in trouble, please contact
