I am using VLC player to NDI for a couple of test projects. Now I need to do the same from the VLC command line.
Could someone give me a sample of playing a file out to NDI using the VLC command line?

I cannot find the output parts I need.

Kane???

Thanks in Advance!

Steve

Hi Steve

I guess it should be the same as simply playing a file with VLC as soon as your outputs for audio and video are set for NDI plugin.

Never tried myself tho

My SyncPlay tool might so what you need, you drop (multiple) clips on it and it will start up looping VLC Player instances that are set to output in NDI.

http://kanelp7.wixsite.com/kanesworld/vlc-syncplay

Basically, the command line my SyncPlay tool uses is this. Remove the commands you don't need in your case.
--aout NDI and --vout NDI set VLC to use NDI as it output format.
--repeat to set loop to on
--extraintf http turns on the http interface so you can control VLC from external systems (I have TriCaster macros that work with this)
--http-port 8080 is the port number for the http interface

Code:

vlc.exe --repeat --aout NDI --vout NDI --extraintf http --http-port 8080 "clip.mp4"

Thank you very much Kane!

It was the syntax of the out for NDI that I did not know.
Also I did not know much about the web control of VLC until I looked at your post. I have some ideas with that now.

Now I can convert an rtmp stream to NDI with a command line. :-)

Code:
vlc.exe  --aout NDI --vout NDI --extraintf http --http-port 8080 "rtmp://live.shadow-technologies.tv/livestream/your-streamkey-here"



Thanks again!

Steve
