Running VLC from a cronjob: How to get a DBUS connection?

view full story
linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I'm trying to run VLC headless from a cron job. The idea is to grab single images from a RTSP stream every two minutes and (later, and in another script) ftp them to a distant machine. The command line I use is (added linebreaks for clarity): vlc -I dummy rtsp://somesourceaddress/ --rate=1 --vout=dummy --video-filter=scene --start-time=0 --stop-time=1 --scene-format=png --scene-prefix=img1 --scene-path=/tmp/ --scene-replace vlc://quit However, while this works beautifully from a terminal window inside an X session, running this from cron results in the following error message: [0x81d1154] (HowTos)

The Wallpaper “The Arctic” includes two scenes: day-time and night-time. The day-time scene is very bright – sunbeams are reflected from surface of arctic snows and ice and perfuse the all scene with the glaring light. The deep starry sky which is illuminated with the polar lights from time to time is presented on the night-time scene.

Hi Everyone I'm new to the android scene but have heard a lot of good things glad to be a part of the scene :)

The 6th Annual Crunchies Awards are happening in January (grab a ticket) bringing together a global scene of technology companies. Similarly, The Europas – The European Tech Startup awards – on January 22 in Berlin, honours the European tech startup scene annually, and, after hitting it’s fourth year, it’s become something of an institution on the European tech scene.

In KDE Platform 4.6 and newer, Plasma supports writing components in Qt Quick's QML. One tantalizing thing QML holds out is using an OpenGL accelerated scene graph for all rendering. Having seen this in action, the results are impressive. To put it mildly. Think "better performance on a mobile device than on the typical desktop running the QGraphicsView equivalent".

Enable RTSP in iptables 39 weeks 1 day ago

I'd like to receive a RTSP stream via VLC, but when I try to run

sudo -u non_root_user cvlc -vvv -I dummy rtsp://ip:port/x.sdp

I get:

Unable to determine our source address: This computer has an invalid IP address: 0x0

I think that the ports might be closed, because when I disabled firewall, I was able to receive the stream.
