[Help REQ] rtmp streaming error

[Iluvatar]

I am trying to stream and save a video, from the net, located at:
http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/english/corporate/mobilelife/index.html

From the page source, the file appears to be located at:
rtmp://fcs-nttdocomo_cm.stream.co.jp/nttdocomo_cm/_definst_/cm/060317/m_life_e.flv

I have set up VLC to stream it, display locally and save to a file. However, I get the following error:

Unable to open 'rtmp://fcs-nttdocomo_cm.stream.co.jp/nttdocomo_cm/_definst_/cm/060317/m_life_e.flv'

and in the messages log:

main error: no suitable access module for `rtmp://fcs-nttdocomo_cm.stream.co.jp/nttdocomo_cm/_definst_/cm/060317/m_life_e.flv'

I was under the (mis)understanding that I could stream rtmp protocols or am I completely deluded? Can anyone enlighten and educate me?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

rtmp isn't implemented in vlc.

[erezl]

Is there an intention to implement it?

[j-b]

Yes. Someone is working on it. A patch was here today on the ml.

Is there any more progress with this ?

It would be nice to use VLC to play BBC UK iPlayer Streams

There is a bit progress with rtmp.
I've already built vlc with this new module.
VLC uses ffmpeg to decode flv stream so it needs someone to patch ffmpeg too.
I've got a patch for ffmpeg too and built it.
Now I have VLC which can play rtmp stream for a 30-300 secs without sound. Only video.
I'm working on it trying to help to that brave man which wrote rtmp implementation for VLC.
It is still in development status.

Hello every one,
I have been woking on a RTMP client but cant seem to make the video run the server starts by only streaming audio

[user411]

Andrey.Hohutkin, are you implying that soon we will be able to specify access=rtmp? That is, is RTMP output streaming getting worked on in VLC?

I think I have a similar problem to darkexcoriater. When I use the line associated with a streamed h.264/mp3 file:

vlc --sout "#transcode{vcodec=FLV1,acodec=mp3,samplerate=11025}:std{access=http{mime=video/x-flv},mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=0.0.0.0:8080/stream.flv}" rtsp://127.0.0.1:554/sample_h264_100kbit.mp4 --sout-transcode-hurry-up --sout-transcode-high-priority --high-priority --repeat --color -I dummy -vvv

I can receive the audio in Flash/Flex with

NetConnection nc = new NetConnection( null );
... setup nc listeners ...
NetStream ns = new NetStream( nc );
... setup ns listeners ...
ns.play( "http://127.0.0.1:8080/stream.flv" );

I never receive video, whether I specify vcodec=H264 or vcodec-FLV1 in the transcode tag above. Both ways I receive audio.

I'm running with the 3/22 nightly build on Windows.

[Andrey.Hohutkin]

No. Only RTMP as input source is developing now.

[jpstrikesback]

Andrey,

RE: This build with RTMP input is potentilaly going to enable one to:

Stream RTMP from Flash Player 9.0.124 to VLC

Receive RTMP stream and Transcode to multiple RTSP stream outs.

Am I correct? How far off are you?

Thanks,
Jon

You are correct. Note that a patch to implement RTMP server side has been posted to the vlc-devel@ mailing list and should be committed soon.

[mark.sch]

Sounds promising. With this announced server patch (Nightly already available?), will VLC get the possibility to connect against running rtmp servers like Red5? Scenario: Take a stream, transcode to H.263 / VP6, act as rtmp client and connect/broadcast to a server via rtmp://myflashserver:1234/streamname ?

Hi guys,
Is there any progress made on rtmp streams recording/playing ?
This feature would be very much appreciated by tons of people around the globe.
I wish I could contribute code but I am not into C programming
