You have to code an access module in VLC.

Hi there, I am also interested in doing this (and just PM'd lofti). Is there not already support for SCTP? A search of the wiki shows there is some support for it? with:

--sout-rtp-proto={dccp,sctp,tcp,udp,udplite}
Transport protocol
This selects which transport protocol to use for RTP.

I'll have a look through the documentation about coding an access module for SCTP. I will be looking at SCTP with MDVC over the next year as part of my research. Look forward to possibly working on an implementation for SCTP in VLC!

hi there
i think that if we have lksctp (linux kernel for sctp) and sctplib (sctp libririe for c/c++) we can add this access module and we have these support but the problem is how to do integrate sctp in vlc as well as udp or rtp...

You need to do an access module, have a look to modules/access/ directory for some examples.
