Hi
I have created a program that write the YUV stream to a named pipe on 
windows,  to allow VLC to read it after.
My problem is that VLC cannot read this pipe.
Here is how I created the pipe:

    |   npipe = CreateNamedPipe("\\\\.\\pipe\\TestChannel",
    PIPE_ACCESS_DUPLEX, PIPE_TYPE_MESSAGE | PIPE_WAIT, 
    PIPE_UNLIMITED_INSTANCES , 1024, 1024,5000,NULL);|


I ran VLC using the following command to read the data on pipe:

    |vlc.exe \\.\pipe\TestChannel|

VLC starts but a message error is shown : VLC could not open the file " 
\\.\pipe\TestChannel".

I wonder if someone has expiremented the named pipe on windows. I need 
your help on this topic


Best regards

P.S : I m also trying to pass this YUV data using invmem module, so any 
help is also appreciated
