Streaming from VLC to a RTSP Server

[SigmaGTX]

Ok, I'm pretty new at this so please forgive me if I have no clue.

I've got a server on the internet. So I have it's IP address and port number to use.

I've got VLC and I want to stream to this server and allow others to view this stream. I'm using the Windows GUI client and I have no idea what I'm doing.

I know with Apple Broadcaster you can announce your stream to an sdp file, but I don't know how to do that with VLC.

Please ask if you don't understand what I'm talking about. I've been trying to figure this stuff out for like a month now. Thanks.

Would anyone atleast know where I could find a tutorial on how to use the Windows GUI?

1st you have to start reading the "How to" guid located here:
http://download.videolan.org/doc/stream ... wto-en.pdf

the main idea is to create an SDP file on the server that everyone who turns to it will see the broadcast.
you need to write a batch file that will "call" the "VLC" and run it creating the SDP file.

I would sudjest you start with creating the SDP Locally and if it works then create it on the server. actually I couldn't send it to the server yet but here's the command to create the SDP locally.

Code: Select all

call "d:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vvv --reset-config --no-audio dshow:// :dshow-vdev="CIF USB CAMERA" :dshow-adev="" :dshow-size="" :dshow-caching=200 :dshow-chroma="" :dshow-fps=0.000000 :dshow-config :no-dshow-tuner :dshow-tuner-channel=0 :dshow-tuner-country=0 :dshow-tuner-input=0 :dshow-video-input=-1 :dshow-audio-input=-1 :dshow-video-output=-1 :dshow-audio-output=-1 --sout-rtp-dst="192.168.0.138" --sout-rtp-ttl="127" --sout-rtp-sdp="file://D:/movie/vlc2.sdp" --sout "#transcode:rtp" --sout-transcode-fps=15 --sout-transcode-venc="ffmpeg" --sout-transcode-vcodec="mp4v" --sout-transcode-vb="8000"
