Some news: i have no problem with android lq profile using the bundled htc player (android 2.2.1). VPlayer doesn’t work at all (even with files from sd)

[zany130]

You are a lucky man. I just got my droid device. It’s a wildfire, so a bit of optimizations for it will come soon

[zany130]

did you try both hd and lq profiles for android?

[zany130]

I don’t know. I haven’t an android device. You have to try

[zany130]

You have to set the proxy for the whole system. There is no vlc-shares proxy configuration

[zany130]

It’s not possible. The trick used by megastreaming can’t be used in vlc-shares. You have to use proxy or pay for a premium account if you want to bypass megavideo’s limits.

yes. It’s always better to use direct mode when available. I don’t know why but some megavideo links don’t work in transcoded way. Vlc doesn’t get the video source. Anyway it’s not a vlc-shares problem so i can’t fix it.

[zany130]

do you use “watch directly” mode or transcoded mode?

[zany130]

the lag It’s not a problem of vlc-shares. Vlc-shares task it’s only to parse web sites and give back to wiimc valid stream link.

Ok cool beans. Which plugins are compatible in the Uk?

All except direttarai. The problem is that RAI.it site streaming is available only in italian territory

[zany130]

RAI streams is a special plugin available in Italy only. jigoku links are all megavideo based. Which version of wiimc are you using?

[zany130]

Megavideo through my notebooks browser comes up with the same message as the above poster. IE do you want to save this file/open 127.0.0.1. When I try to open it through wiimc It goes to buffer mode then comes up with error loading file.

If IE try to download the file means that vlc-shares works. Maybe you have problem with wiimc/network.

About animeftw: right click on the EasyPhp icon in the task bar, then select “configuration -> PHP extension”. Select the extension “php_openssl” and enable it. Then click Apply and then Close. After that Restart EasyPHP.

[PluginInstaller] Checking for directory permissions : C:Program Files (x86)VLCShareswwwvlc-sharesapplication/../application/Bootstrap.php not writable

Anyway you have to fix permissions for vlc-shares folder (by default C:Program Files (x86)VLCShares).
This is a quote from EasyPHP FAQ:

You need to change the user s permission for the EasyPHP directory
1. Go to ‘Computer’, open/view Drive C, then double click ‘Program Files (x86)’.
2. Right click on ‘VLCShares‘ folder then click ‘Properties’.
3. On ‘Security’ tab click ‘Edit’ button.
4. Select the user that you are currently using.
5. Under ‘Permissions for Users’ box, tick ‘Full control’ on ‘Allow’ column.
6. And then click ‘OK’ button to apply the changes.

Anyway, please use THIS thread (http://www.wiimc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1181) for questions and problems related to 0.5.3 version

I don’t know. Wiimc downscale everything to 480p. Maybe 480p h264 is the best available with wiimc.

[zany130]

vlc-shares uses ffmpeg to get information about the stream/file. This is important for 2 things:
– embedded subs (in mkv for example)
– workaround a bug in vlc: for some reason vlc has problem transcoding
h264/aac streams. As workaround for this problem must be used an alternative transcoding profile that does video transcoding and uses the original audio. So i use ffmpeg to see what kind of codecs are used by the stream and choose the right transcoding profile.

I’ve planned also for future release of vlc-shares to use ffmpeg to get thumbnails and allow audio switch in files with multi audio.
