Enable Network sync module on all involved hosts. For one of the hosts enable --netsync-master (Act as master for network synchronisation, in the gui). For the rest of the hosts set the netsync master hosts ip address in the Master client ip address field (or use --netsync-master-ip= ) This should syncronize playout of media on the involved hosts if they for instance play the same multicast stream.

All preferences options are declared throughout the sources in lines like add_integer(...) add_boolean(...) One of the parameters are an identifier. These are used in the config file and in the command line parsing. This is the option you want to look for when trying to find the options you want to change. The particular option you mentioned are called "one-instance". Another of the parameters are the default value. Which one depends on the type of option this is. Look for other similar options if in doubt. That said, there has been some discussion about the behaviour of the one-instance option latly, perhaps you could try 0.8.5-test4 and see if the behaviour there live up to your expectations?

Message-ID: I have a MP4 video source that is serving out two streams of multicast RTSP video. The two streams are coming from different destination multicast addresses, but the same source/destination port. For example: 192.168.50.112:47806 -> 224.16.54.9:47806 [rtsp://192.168.50.112/mpeg0] 192.168.50.112:47806 -> 224.16.54.12:47806 [rtsp://192.168.50.112/mpeg1] I open up two vlc windows, one for each rtsp url and it seems that the video from the two streams are being interleaved together. I see a corrupt mix of video from the two streams. I'm using a linux (FC4 2.6.16) build of vlc (r15197) with the 2006.03.16 live code.

This product is really great. With regard to DVB-T on WinXP, I'm having trouble to make it run with vlc-0.8.5 (not tested with older version), and I am actually wondering whether this is an issue related to VLC or to some kind of drivers missing or misconfigured .... My configuration is a not-too-old PC running WinXP SP1. a USB2.0 DVB-T box from Yakumo is connected to it. The legacy software from YAKUMO works fine. Yet, it would also be great to make VLC work with it. In the directShow panel from VLC, I do get the "C&E DVB-T Device T50023" item after clicking on the refresh list, but then nothing seems to work, the "configure" button doesn't show anything, and the vlc logger only says the following (one single line) : main debug: adding playlist item `dshow://' ( dshow:// Does anybody know if YAKUMO USB DVB-T boxes can work with VLC or any other popular softwares apart from the legacy YAKUMO software? Are there any extra driver requirements ? Are there any known issues when interfacing DVB-T boxes with VLC on WinXP ? One good thing to mention, the same PC running vlc(svn) and connected to the same DVB-T box works very fine on LINUX FedoraCore4 ! Thanks in advance for any help.

I'll send a patch to detect the mimetype correctly. As a workaround you could open the the remote playlist like this: "vlc http/xspf-open://tinkernet.org/xspf/" Maybe you can temporary remove the charset parameter from the Content-type!? > bug #2: XML comments, within the XSPF file, seem to prevent things from > working.

This bug may be the cause of the problem that you're seeing. (The bug shows up when an AMR audio RTSP/RTP stream is being played, but the bug itself has *nothing* to do with RTSP/RTP streaming.) BUG REPORT (note that this bug was first reported back in March): You can demonstrate this bug by trying to play the following file http://www.live555.com/test.amr VLC (version 0.8.5) cannot play this file, either locally, or using HTTP. However, QuickTime Player and RealPlayer can play this file OK.

If I play my two 3GP test files (H.263 video, AMR-NB audio, 3GP/MP4 container) locally, or streamed via HTTP, then VLC (with ffmpeg enhanced with the live555 codec support - thanks) works fine. Audio quality is as expected. It is only if I attempt to play the content streamed via RTSP that VLC has trouble with AMR-NB. I've uploaded my two test files, and the live555 test file for reference, to my server at the following URLs: http://www.yellowradio.com/test/my.name.is.earl.s01.ep01.nokia.3gp http://www.yellowradio.com/test/parking.3gp http://www.yellowradio.com/test/live555test.amr As you indicated, the live555 file fails to play with VLC, locally accessed or streamed. For comparison, I then transcoded the episode of "my name is earl" from AMR-NB to AAC. Audio playback via RTSP is fine (and via HTTP and locally of course). So for my files at least, the problem does seem to be related to the combination of RT(S)P and AMR-NB. That version of the file is available at http://www.yellowradio.com/test/my.name.is.earl.s01.ep01.qt.aac.3gp I can see that there's been quite a bit of discussion already, e.g. at http://www.via.ecp.fr/via/ml/vlc/2006-03/msg00132.html, but this problem appears to be as yet unresolved.

The delivery mechanism appears to be 'relevant' to the bug only because it (for some unknown reason) causes AMR audio data to be delivered in a form that VLC cannot decode/play. HOWEVER, the same bug can be demonstrated in a much easier way - by attempting to play (either locally, or via HTTP) the file: http://www.live555.com/test.amr Again, VLC (version 0.8.5) cannot play this file, either locally, or using HTTP. However, QuickTime Player and RealPlayer can play this file OK. (Note that I obtained this file by recording an incoming RTSP/RTP stream that VLC was unable to play - i.e., a stream that illustrated the problem that you are seeing.) THEREFORE, I claim that our first priority should be to figure out why VLC cannot play the file http://www.live555.com/test.amr If you fix that bug, then it is very likely that it will also fix the RTSP/RTP AMR problem. >I can see that there's been quite a bit of discussion already, e.g. >at http://www.via.ecp.fr/via/ml/vlc/2006-03/msg00132.html, but this >problem appears to be as yet unresolved. Yes, in that thread - from mid March - I tried (apparently unsuccessfully) to make the same point that I'm making now: First figure out why VLC cannot play the file "test.amr".

The problems are 1. The configure process cannot find the ffmpeg and faad even though I can find them in one of the subdirectories within cygwin. So I disabled both of them. 2. My next problem is experienced during make. It appears that make experience other problems even if configure is done successfully. The last few lines of the make process are: make[4]: ***[libaccess_file_a-file.o] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/owner/vlc-0.8.4a/modules/access' make[3]: ***[all-modules] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/owner/vlc-0.8.4a/modules/access' make[2]: ***[all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/owner/vlc-0.8.4a/modules' make[1]: ***[all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/owner/vlc-0.8.4a' make: ***[all] Error 2 Has this got to do with my configure process?

I have been troubled by this problem right from the start. Since I am not certain where the log files for the make process is located at and the error generated goes a long way, I have managed to type out some of the errors as shown below: ../../include/vlc_access.h:110: error: parse error before ?}? token ../../include/vlc_access.h: In function ?access2_vacontrol?: ../../include/vlc_access.h:120: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type in file included from file.c:28: ../../include/vlc_stream.h: At top level: ../../include/vlc_stream.h:66: error: parse error before ?vlc_thread_t? ../../include/vlc_stream.h:66: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union ../../include/vlc_stream.h:66: warning: type defaults to ?int? in declaration of ?object_lock? ../../include/vlc_stream.h:66: warning: data definition has no type or storage class ../../include/vlc_stream.h:66: error: parse error before ?object_wait? ../../include/vlc_stream.h:66: warning: type defaults to ?int? in declaration of ?object_wait? ../../include/vlc_stream.h:66: warning: data definition has no type or storage class ../../include/vlc_stream.h:66: error: parse error before ?var_lock? ../../include/vlc_stream.h:66: warning: type defaults to ?int? in declaration of ?var_lock? ../../include/vlc_stream.h:66: warning: data definition has no type or storage class ../../include/vlc_stream.h:68: error: conflicting types for ?pf_block? ../../include/vlc_stream.h:84: error: previous declaration of ?pf_block? was here ../../include/vlc_stream.h:68: error: conflicting types for ?pf_read? ../../include/vlc_stream.h:84: error: previous declaration of ?pf_read? was here ../../include/vlc_stream.h:68: error: conflicting types for ?pf_control? ../../include/vlc_stream.h:84: error: previous declaration of ?pf_control? was here ../../include/vlc_stream.h:68: error: conflicting types for ?p_sys? ../../include/vlc_stream.h:84: error: previous declaration of ?p_sys? was here The other files that are also reflected to have errors are vlc_demux.h, and file.c.

Playing the Star Wars Episode (1,2 or 3) DVDs causes a small "hickup" during the first scene. Title 1, Chapter 3. On Episode 3 it is the change from the star scene where the sun comes up. The film briefly stops and continues to play maybe 1 second later. It seems as if the movie is continuing in the timeline but is not displaying anything. This happens each and every time at the same position. I am using the german releases of the Star Wars DVDs, but suspect the same to happen on other languages. The following switches do not change this: * fullscreen * audio-track * skip-frames This happens on Windows 2000 and XP (with 0.8.5) and Ubuntu (with 0.8.4). Different machines show the same problem. It does not matter, whether or not the DVD is backed up (using dvdbackup) before onto a hard disk and played from there, or the DVD is played directly from the media. I am using libdvdnav4 in version 0.1.9-3, libdvdread3 v0.9.4-5, libdvdcss2 v1.2.9-0sarge0.0 on Ubuntu. Apart from the above scene, it happens every now and then, that the display stops for a moment (up to 15 seconds) before displaying something again. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. If you need more information, let me know. -- Best regards Peer Oliver Schmidt PGP Key ID: 0x83E1C2EA -- This is the vlc mailing-list, see http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ To unsubscribe, please read http://www.videolan.org/support/lists.html From PHAN0004 at ntu.edu.sg Mon May 15 03:46:28 2006 From: PHAN0004 at ntu.edu.sg (#PHANG CHEE WOH,DERRICK#) Date: Mon, 15 May 2006 09:46:28 +0800 Subject: [vlc] Re: How to build the toolchain for CrossCompilation to WinCE References: <1147328703.4741.11.camel@euklid> <4464D000.9070909@planet.nl> Message-ID: Hi Sigmund, I have tried to configure using your config specifications and found that my problem may simply be a case of the toolchain not made properly. I have read a documentation on the site for building the toolchain but I could not find 2 specific files. Can you give me a link to them? They are gcc-2.95.3.diffbis.bz2 and gcc-2.95.3.diff2. Another question here. Do I use the versions of the various libraries as specified by that documentation or do I download the latest version instead? Also, do I download a version of the gcc that is currently in use by my cygwin? I realised that the version of the compiler is dependent on the version of the compiler that the libraries are compiled from but I do not exacly if they will affect the whole process.

Go figure... Eh? Maybe it is on more recent releases only. Wonder if there is a difference in the videostream between older releases and more current ones.

Audio plays fine, but the video returns an error message about "VLC creates an error at VLCLIB.DLL" 2. VLC 8.4a plays the video and audio; but I need to upgrade because the stream of that earlier version 'breaks up' whenever another program is being accessed, and the 'stream capture' option doesn't work so well. 3.

Short answer: Yes, it will support WMV3 decode once an open source decoder for VC1 is written.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20060520004217.1F85.MAIL@gaclrecords.org.uk> I hope my first question is not too off topic. I downloaded to my drive a nice hour long video using VLC for the first time, just dumping to a raw file . The stream is WMV2 with WMA and when I name the dumped file with .wmv extension it plays beautifully (with no seeking of course). Now my two questions... Is it possible to cut a raw video file like this in the same way you can direct cut an MP3 without having to transcode it? If so, with what tool. Second, I found I could get approximately the few minutes I wanted at the end of the file by moving the seek slider but it's not exactly the correct length of course. Can I set start and end time in VLC? Actually one more. Is it possible to rip just the audio from a video stream and transcode it to WAV? The encapsulate as WAV seems to produce noise and there seems no such audio codec option. Thanks for a nice tool and player.

I hope that there is some reply soon. Thanks, Derrick Hi, I have tried to redo the build with the configurations as specified but I am still encountering other problems.

My config log is as attached. The essence of the issue is as shown below: configure:2559: arm-wince-pe-gcc --version &5 /usr/local/wince/cross-tools/bin/arm-wince-pe-gcc: /usr/local/wince/cross-tools/bin/arm-wince-pe-gcc: cannot execute binary file configure:2562: $? = 126 configure:2564: arm-wince-pe-gcc -v &5 /usr/local/wince/cross-tools/bin/arm-wince-pe-gcc: /usr/local/wince/cross-tools/bin/arm-wince-pe-gcc: cannot execute binary file configure:2567: $? = 126 configure:2569: arm-wince-pe-gcc -V &5 /usr/local/wince/cross-tools/bin/arm-wince-pe-gcc: /usr/local/wince/cross-tools/bin/arm-wince-pe-gcc: cannot execute binary file configure:2572: $? = 126 configure:2595: checking for C compiler default output file name configure:2598: arm-wince-pe-gcc -D__stdcall= -D_OFF_T_ -I/usr/local/wince/cross-tools/include -I/usr/local/wince/contrib-xscale/include -mcpu=xscale -L/usr/local/wince/cross-tools/lib -L/usr/local/wince/contrib-xscale/lib conftest.c >&5 /usr/local/wince/cross-tools/bin/arm-wince-pe-gcc: /usr/local/wince/cross-tools/bin/arm-wince-pe-gcc: cannot execute binary file configure:2601: $? = 126 What may be the issue?

By using UDP protocol, there isn't transmission control or stat return from the client (indeed it isn't "connection oriented" like TCP). If you use an operator network, this will be trickier... Some of them allow only few ports and few protocols. In this case, you should use the http protocol. This is a problem, as you said, because of the low upload bandwidth. Concerning the video codec, the best ratio quality/bit rate is gained by h264. For the audio codec, you an use MP3 or ogg for instance. If you succeed, I would be interested in your experience feedback.

First lets talk about GPRS. Maybe this is redundant to some people, I'm not sure, but I think it might be worth explaining. GSM phone calls are allocated what's called "timeslots" - GSM works by breaking up the frequency into many channels, then each channel is split up into many timeslots. Basically, this means multiple phones can share the single channel by alternating which phone is broadcasting, in such a way that each timeslot represents the same amount of access to RF bandwidth. GSM voice calls normally use one timeslot up and one timeslot down. GPRS uses up to four up and four down simultaneously. The exact number is limited by your provider and your hardware. Depending on your signal strength, you will see anywhere from 8 to 20 kbps per timeslot (standard encoding rates: 8, 12, 14.4, 20 kbps). In my experience, I have rarely if ever seen 20 kbps, 12 kbps is a more reasonable assumption. If you are driving, reception makes a big difference, and unless you have amazing coverage and an antenna, you're unlikely to have a stable datarate the whole way. Providers may limit the number of timeslots you can use, particularly if the network is very busy or you have an "unlimited" data plan. The policies may be determined at the local towers, based on predetermined rules or rules that vary with network load, so you can easily be driving and move from a tower allowing four slots to a tower only allowing two slots. You also need to check up on your hardware (use a site like http://phonescoop.com/ ) because most hardware will have some limitations. Usually you'll see it noted like this "4+1" which means four downstream timeslots (so 32 to 80 kbps depending on signal quality.) Sometimes you'll see it listed as "Class 4" which has a distinct meaning. (A quick google search will turn up plenty of pages with elaborate tables about this.) Many classes also have a maximum limit on slots - for example, class 10 allows 4 down and 2 up, but no more than 5 simultaneous connections, so (assuming no network restrictions) you will run at 3+2 or 4+1. Although this only applies in some areas, particularly the US, there is another protocol called "EDGE" which works just like GPRS but uses a more efficient RF encoding approach allowing better throughput. But all the same ideas apply, and it still works within the same timeslots. Being in the US, I use EDGE regularly, sometimes moving in excess of a GB of data per month. With a class 10 device I have certainly seen 200 kbps downstream many times, but the upstream is not nearly so great. Sorry for this lengthy email, but GPRS really is that complex. And we've only discussed the theory so far :) As a general rule, you will want to ensure you have the best possible signal quality for a GPRS link. However, no matter what you do, even if you're in a fixed location, you're likely to still see some variation in signal quality. Interference, varying atmospheric conditions, even vehicles and people blocking signal can affect it. If you're moving, it's almost certain that your data rate will be varying, even if you have a fairly large antenna. All of this will inevitably cause your data rate to vary, and this is what makes streaming particularly maddening on GPRS. Your data rate may drop to 32 kbps, then jump to 80 kbps as soon as you come around a corner and handoff to a new tower. The actual data is also in question. If you sit there running a ping, you normally will never drop a packet - GPRS is generally quite good at getting packets through reliably. It's just a question of timing! With an idle GPRS connection you may be getting ping times between 500 and 1200 ms, and literally one packet may take 500 ms and the next 1200 ms. Packets seem to always be delivered in a sequential manner - this is handled like a PPP link on most computers - so the busier the link, the higher the latency overall. Sometimes, you'll get bursts of interference (i.e. tower handoffs, other interference) which interrupt the connection and cause packets to queue up, but the sequential delivery method means that everything generally does get through, unless you have an extreme situation where the packets can't be queued up anymore. (I'm not quite sure what defines these parameters, but it will happen.) Packet dropping on a GPRS connection isn't generally like ethernet or 802.11b/g where you have a rather consistant level of drops, due to a bad link or collisions. With GPRS, Similarly, if you take a call most hardware pauses the connection and queues up packets to a certain extent. I'm not entirely sure at what level the queueing is implemented, but I have seen packets queued for 15 minutes or more during a call, and up to 10 or 15 seconds during a connection, particularly if I'm driving. Another interesting note - it takes more energy to send data than to receive it, by a good bit. You may be shocked at how fast you go through power on your phone and (in many cases) how hot it gets when you're maxing out the upload for long periods of time. I've even seen a number of phones and cards overheat and freeze or act strange when uploading a lot, particularly with poor signal strength where the phone has to broadcast near maximum power. The result of all these factors is that GPRS seriously sucks for streaming. If you are going to try it, I would suggest you use substantial buffers, at least several seconds of content or more, if you want a smooth experience, or even "progressive download" of the video if it can be pre-recorded. If you want live, you may just want to use RTSP and realize that you'll have places where it drops and stutters, particularly if both client and server are mobile. (Although you said only the client was mobile.) The very limited bandwidth is also very challenging. A typical good case scenario (4 + 1 at 12 kbps each = 48 kbps down, 12 kbps up) is very similar to streaming over a 56k modem with lots of latency. I'm sure a lot has been written about delivering content to 56k users - and the bottom line is that nothing looks very good, particularly in the days of people watching 720p, 1080i, even 1080p video all over the place. I would concur with the earlier poster that your provider may filter ports or protocols, but I'm sure that can be negotiated. I have in some cases simply setup an ssh tunnel over WAP ports or other allowed ports to enable connectivity on an otherwise restricted network connection. As for actual compression, the leader of the pack right now is H.264 from the x264 project. Just like other projects like XviD, it's always improving in quality, so be sure you have a recent version for the encoding machine. Be sure to take advantage of all the features it offers to help reduce bitrate - CABAC, etc. If you don't need the video live, I would strongly suggest two-pass encoding for better quality. This would go ideally with the progressive download model, which is (in my opinion) the most preferred means for delivering smooth playback on a mobile. You just end up a waiting a little longer for it to start if your connection is particularly slow - the variable nature of mobile connections is maddening like that. The audio is an interesting one. The exact codec you want to use is a little variable, sometimes one codec is actually better suited for a certain type of content, and different content may require vastly different settings or bitrates to sound good. I've been most impressed with AAC-HE ("AAC High Efficiency" - aka AACplus or AAC+) which has some quite impressive performance at low bitrates. I'm not sure if VLC can encode AAC-HE yet, however, but I know it can decode it. Alternatively, I would suggest you look at Ogg Vorbis or regular AAC (usually "AAC Low Complexity"). MP3 is an older audio codec, and has a hard time getting the quality of these newer codecs, particularly at low bitrates, so I would not recommend it. Hopefully this gives you a start on figuring out how to stream content via GPRS with some modicum of quality. Honestly, I don't know if you'll ever get anything really satisfying out of it. The premier service (at least in the US) for streaming content via mobile networks is MobiTV ( http://www.mobitv.com/ ) and they've done a fairly good job of pulling it off - but even that isn't great. I have tested MobiTV on my class 10 EDGE device with excellent signal (the best case scenario, basically), plenty of CPU (200 MHz ARM CPU), high res bright screen (320x320), high quality stereo headphones, etc and I found it to be pretty terrible - I have unlimited data, and even it were completely free for the service, I don't think I would watch it. I'd sooner listen to a 64 kbps AAC-HE stream of the audio and just hear it in good quality, instead of the tinny sounding voices on MobiTV and distorted, choppy video images. This is what MobiTV calls a "high frame rate experience" device. GPRS only devices are called "standard frame rate experience" and really look even worse. Fortunately, I believe there is substantial room for doing better than MobiTV, but it probably would require the progressive download approach using multi-pass VBR encoded content and you spending a great deal of time tweaking all the compression settings to maximize the quality. I think that mobile video applications are only going to take off when we see wide deployment of UMTS (WCDMA), but that's still a ways away from any substantial penetration in the US market, and internationally suffers from a quagmire of different frequencies and modes that phones must now support to be fully "international" friendly (US UMTS is rolling out at 850 MHz and 1900 MHz, most other UMTS runs at 2100 MHz, and GSM/GPRS/EDGE is deployed at 850, 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz around the world, so now we need a five-band seven- mode phone to work fully internationally! ) Fortunately, mobile bandwidth is only going up while compression is only getting better and better, not to mention that CPU speeds on mobiles are also improving, so the situation is just getting better with time. Interestingly, in the US we are migrating to all DTV / HDTV and we use ATSC which uses 8VSB modulation, which precludes the reception of HDTV while in motion due to it being very time sensitive and the doppler effect. Currently, analog is suitable for small handheld devices, but mobile displays are now ready for HD content (particularly in-vehicle displays) and the FCC is forcing ALL broadcasters to switch to DTV in the near future. Both of these factors will soon make other mobile networks the only means of delivering TV content to mobile viewers, so I foresee this market is going to quickly become quite competitive. There is an E-VSB protocol on the table from the ATSC commission, standardized in 2004, but I don't know of any broadcasters that have adopted it, and I'm not sure how easily E-VSB can be integrated into existing broadcast equipment, and TV stations are wary of spending even more in digital infrastructure after all they've spent by FCC mandate. As you can tell, I do have a bit of an interest in this matter and I would actually be curious to see what you end up working out in this arena. -Galen galenz at zinkcconsulting.com On May 20, 2006, at 4:28 AM, Antoine Roussel wrote: > Hi, > > I don't know exactly your test configuration so there are two > answers : > > If you have a "perfect network" between your 2 GPRS devices, you > can send your data over UDP.

Hopefully you weren't reading my incredibly wordy post the entire time ;) I would be curious to know where/why you're on a dedicated network. Is this like internal use only? I have a hard time seeing how that really equates to what a user would typically experience. A handful of small points I forgot to make in my earlier post: 1) The TCP/IP stack configuration in the host device/machine can make a huge difference with EDGE which is by nature high latency - tweaking can improve performance a lot. 2) Sometimes the link to your device can be a problem, either in software or hardware. Bluetooth 1.x is limited to at most a megabit and I usually only clock it around 25 KB/sec to/from my phone and actually most devices. 2.4 GHz interference can that number far lower. Many interfaces, even if they are USB or something else, are set up as a "serial port" and you need to double check the baud rate is right. Having your baud rate set to 57,600 is a pretty big problem! 3) There was a small update made to EDGE a while back (I want to say "R2" but I could be wrong) that roughly halved latency. I have seen it implemented in PC cards only, and it really did what it claimed to do. I'm not sure about network support. As for link level compression, I don't think it would have a substantial impact on throughput. Realize that any video bitstream worth its salt already will be compressed. Adding another layer of compression will simply add a little latency and be unlikely to save any useful amount of bandwidth. However, the added latency is likely so small compared to latency associated with EDGE, it is not worth mentioning. I normally leave compression on - overall, it reduces the effect of EDGE's latency by making compressible data smaller. If you are having issues with EDGE performance, I would encourage you to really investigate the "flow" of the packets. Just watching a bandwidth graph on a computer using EDGE can be a very telling experience. Even better is to use a program like ethereal and monitor how packets arrive compared to how they are sent. I would encourage you to try a bunch of tests with this. Even just running a simple ping could shed a lot of light on your connection. If you hit interference or have a poor tower to tower handoff or something, you will see the data stop completely for up to 10-15 seconds sometimes, then resume. Interference also causes problems. You will rarely if ever get packets out of order with a connection like this, nor do you often get lost packets or "collisions" - the packets usually just get buffered and transmitted later if you are using a protocol like UDP or ICMP that doesn't have SYN/ACK packets that monitor response like TCP/IP. Obviously there is some limit to this, but I'm not sure what it is, and I suspect it depends on the client, the EDGE hardware, the network, etc. Hopefully this helps a little. You'll probably want to explore your link level stuff some and see how much data you can reliably deliver, then once you get that under control, you can start really optimizing your video settings. There's a lot you can do there (we can go there when you're ready), but you've gotta have the transport worked out and a bandwidth budget before you should really try and optimize compression. I will be interested to hear how your test comes out. I would be curious to know more about exactly what/why you're attempting to achieve here. Feel free to email me off-list. -Galen On May 29, 2006, at 1:55 AM, Melin Eric-AEM024 wrote: > Thanks for taking the time to give all these precious details. > > > > Since I will use a dedicated EDGE test network, I was confident at > the beginning since I would not have to share the bandwidth with > many users and the coverage would be good.

Playback of chained ogg vorbis files and streams seems to be broken. Instead of continuous audio output, the playback stops at the end of each stream, and restarts at the beginning of the next.
