mso-layout-grid-align: none"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">1) I try to extend vlm in order to change on the fly the transcode parameters of a stream. What i did, was adding a new control command in vlm interface, which in fact stops the first stream, resetting the output with the new #transcode{ ...... } parameters, and start again the streaming.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">But this approach has two disadvantages. Firstly it doesn't seem too stable. Sometimes when i change the parameters, the receiver stops playing, either due to TS discontinuity, or ffmpeg warning of damaged header. If i restart the receiver, the stream is normally played, but the point is to keep the "change parameters" procedure as transparent as possible to the receiver. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in

Is it possible to call some structures that belong to transcode module from the vlm thread? Is the receiver's or the transmitter`s fault that these TS
discontinuity or damaged header errors occured?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">2) The second question has to do with the integration of another encoder in Vlc.
