<DIV>Hi</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am also interested in changing the bit rate of the stream on a fly as it is part of my project but my problem is that I have no idea what are the procedures to follow in order to do this. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please help with the following:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Can you tell me a step-by-step procedure of how to do this, like for example in the VideoLAN-howto, they tell you that use these commands to do this. (You talk about control it thru Telnet and hacking VLC but how exactly can I do that).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. How can I gather reports when the stream is playing, to review later that the bit rate was reduced/increased to x Kbit/s because of an increase/decrease in x number of errors.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you in advance</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">I too had to stream at bitrate which could be changed on the fly (when <BR>the stream is still being played). VLC provides all the environment to <BR>allow you to do this but it wasn't implemented. So all I can tell you is <BR>that it IS possible with vlc (to be able to change the streaming bitrate <BR>on the fly) [control it thru telnet interface]. I had to make several <BR>hacks to vlc-0.7.2 to allow me to do all this.

I’m trying to get started in <BR>> the right direction; if someone could give me an idea of what would be <BR>> required to implement the said mechanism, or what sections of the code <BR>> this would involve, that
would be great.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Thanks,<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Bryan Willman<BR>> <BR>> Drexel University<BR>> <BR><BR>-- <BR>This is the streaming mailing-list, see http://www.videolan.org/streaming/<BR>To unsubscribe, please read http://www.videolan.org/support/lists.html<BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE><p>__________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam?
