Streaming Webcam with VLC in C#

Hello,

I'm currently doing an school project where I have to start a stream of my webcam using VLC in C#.
The main problem I am facing is that i think the codec (the media options) are wrong.
Everytime i try to view my Stream in VLC i get an error or a just a blackscreen without any audio.

Code:

Code: Select all

public void StartStream()
        {

            var currentDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);

            var libDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(Path.Combine(currentDirectory, "libvlc", IntPtr.Size == 4 ? "win-x86" : "win-x64"));

            using (var mediaPlayer = new VlcMediaPlayer(libDirectory))
            {
                var mediaOptions = new[]
                {
                    ":sout =#transcode{vcodec=h264,scale=Auto,acodec=s16l,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100,scodec=none}",
                    ":rtp{sdp=rtsp://" + _ip + ":8554/live.sdp}",
                    ":no-sout-all",
                    ":sout-keep"
                };

                //_ip = Local IPv4 Address 

                mediaPlayer.SetMedia(new Uri(@"dshow://"), mediaOptions);

                mediaPlayer.Play();
                MessageBox.Show("Streaming on rtsp://" + _ip + ":8554/live");
            }
        }

Kind regards,

Marko
