hi bryan
I sort of worked out a method that works quite well. ( it has a couple problems at the moment. but works quite well with some limitations. needs a little help from sub)
anyways you can try if you want..
simple set up capture source ( use either a device that does not exist on your machine or it might write another file at the same time consumming cpu cycles-- we need a little help from sub for this part to build a simple capture source plugin that reads a specific file)
set up your guide ( use any thing- curious why it does not have a nulll input for stuff like this where no guide is possible)
now select channel changer "EXE changer plugin"
set your vlc executable path
now in your params
put this
udp://@:channel out=#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ps,url="C:\buffer.mpg"}}
curously though I am running the same version on two different machine's but for channel it could be one of two options either channel as above or {channel} ( one works for one but not the other)
this will write the file to the drive with ps encapulation ( if it needs trancoding add your own options)
set the channel number to equal the port setting for the upd broadcast- at the moment this is set for push upd but it works for multicast upd broadcast just put in the multicast IP
now simply choose that channel to watch. then escape and go browse for the the the buffer.mpg and watch..
there are a few gliches.. vlc runs hidden and does not shut off ever if you change the channel. ( you have to use task manager to kill the process.)
and you have to browse for the file..
I also got it to work with alot of third party apps too.. but it would be nice if there was a "simple capture source" pluggin that just reads A specific file then I would not need to browse for the buffer file all the time..
