VLM • Re: Mosaic from MJPEG sources in VLC



Hi all,

I’ve been running VLC as a service since I figured out how to set this up mostly to feed the Roku apps on my TVs.

A problem I’m seeing is that after a while (overnight) VLC is still running as a service but the output of the mosaic is black.

I setup a scheduled task in Windows to restart the service every four hours and that now looks stable. When it restarts the image ‘blinks’ for a second and then restores, but never hangs.

Is it a known thing not to stream 24×7, especially in Windows?
