Can't stream out via Windows Commandline

Postby zamar49 » 08 Apr 2016 00:42

Hi guys,

I'm trying to transcode RTSP input stream from H264 IP Cam into MJPEG output stream with VLC via Windows Command Prompt. I followed this example suggested by Jean-Baptiste Kempf:

Code: Select all

>"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -I dummy -vvv rtsp://192.168.1.117:554/user=admin_password=zamar_channel=1_stream=0.sdp?real_stream --sout="#transcode{vcodec=mjpg,vb=2500,scale=auto,width=640,fps=10,acodec=none}:standard{access=http{mime="multipart/x-mixed-replace; boundary=7b3cc56e5f51db803f790dad720ed50a"},mux=mpjpeg,dst=:8089/videostream.cgi}" --sout-keep
Here's debug output I'm getting:

So it appears, VLC connects to the IP Cam, but doesn't create any transcode MJPEG output. Is there anything I can change in the above commandline to make it work?

The same command works OK when entered via VLC GUI Menu: Media-Stream. Below is a totally different output I'm getting in Debug Message window. It looks like it starts where Cmd debug output stops. So what's wrong with the VLC commandline?
