Trouble streaming RTSP online from VLC

Postby touraccuracy » 22 Jan 2014 03:02

Hi all,

I'm trying to bring a Windows Media (.asx) stream into VLC to be transcoded/broadcasted out as RTSP over the internet, accessible from another VLC client elsewhere.

I've only been able to make it work from a PC without a router (plugged straight into the modem) over the internet, and then back to that same PC. It seems routers get in the way anywhere else I try it.

Here's the debug output I get when I try to access it from another PC through a router:

Code: Select all

It seems the router is the problem. Anyone know what ports I should be forwarding besides the obvious (TCP 554)?
