[SORTED] VLC Streaming Question
« on: January 25, 2011, 03:02:31 PM »
I am receiving DTT through a cheap dongle for display on my PC.
All is as well there as I could hope for.

So I decided I would like to stream a single channel from the DVB-T device over the local network. So I set up VLC to stream this content .....  in this case for clarity I have used the command line ..... 

The question I have concerns one of the output lines when VLC is run

Quote
[user@Dell ~]$ vlc -v dvb:// --dvb-frequency=690000000 --dvb-adapter=0 --dvb-bandwidth=8 --program=1101 -I dummy --sout='#rtp{sdp=rtsp://192.168.3.11:5554/stream.sdp}'
VLC media player 1.1.5 The Luggage (revision exported)
[0x81c049c] main libvlc warning: cannot read /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/plugins-04041e-28.dat (No such file or directory)
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_ADDRESS")
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_BUS_TYPE")
[0x81eaa4c] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...

I have highlighted the line in question above.

Can anyone give me some information about the implications of this message please?

Thank you  ;)

regards.

EDIT:
          Like a lot of things I post after hours of searching, I found a means to eliminate this message almost immediately after posting. Putting the following option in the command prevents the error ......
I added the following option

Code: [Select]
vlc -v --reset-plugins-cache dvb:// .......

Thank you for the 'solution' I am struggling with VLC and when I get back to try and sort the problems out this could be very helpful.

Question: The read line, did it matter as far as operation concerned? 
32 bit: KDE (older) & various KDE-mini, ASUSTek P5P41D Rev X.0x, BIOS AMI0207 07/21/2009, "Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5300 @ 2.60GHz", nVidia GeForce 9600 GT, 2x1GB Seagate Technology 1000528AS HDD
TV CompuPro VideoMate Vista E700 (not working in Linux), Acer X243HD LCD Screen

Not that I saw ......  it was a warning and not an error which caused failure to stream.
I was able to watch the stream in VLC .....  although not in SMPlayer -- the reason for which I did not investigate  ;)
