jhb50, please disregard the comments in the previous message, I have revisited the procedure and I made great progress. Your 1-5 steps is indeed the simplest way you can make it and in my humble opinion this how the
wiki page should start.
Here's what I did: I uninstalled all required components and re-installed -again- in the following order: JRE, C++, Serviio, VLC, ScreenCapturer, AudioCapturer. The A/V filters now show up (nice!) and they are exactly where they should be in VLC, so next is to create the bat. Right?
I copied the bat file and saved it on my desktop. I noticed some extra spaces in between some command switches so I fixed that making sure there is always only one space. Obviously, I also had to modify the path to VLC and the audio device name. Also, in the bat there is a remarked line saying "A corresponding player must be started using HTTP" - what does this mean? Finally, would it be OK to -freely- modify the settings that affect video/audio quality (fps, scale, audio bitrate etc.) or do I stick to what's in the bat?
When I run the bat (a blank command window opened) and I get a firewall request to allow VLC (I did) and then VLC opens up and nothing happens in the VLC just my CPU went up but no more than 35~40%. Looks like the PC has enough power. I usually run my 24" monitor at 1920x1200 and at this screen the CPU was working around 98% but for this test I changed it down to 1280x1024.
Then I opened Serviio and configured the LiveFeed, I saved it and forced a library refresh.
Finaly, I started a movie using MediaPlayerClassic in full screen and went to the TV.
I can see the video (and subtitles) fine, no studder, no freezing BUT I have no sound.
As a reminder I use a SONY SMP-N100 to connect to HDMI TV.
What could have gone wrong? Where do I start troubleshooting?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
