Well yes. You can create a dummy stream that will kick-start HTTPS no matter what. But the reality of the matter is that there would never be an issue if you used VLM the way it was designed to be used. I tested as you suggested, I added 1 dummy HTTPS stream at start with the option --vlm-conf vlm....

I'm still convinced that, with a modification on the code, VLC would be able to create the parameters when it is started, and then reuses them for all clients.

Thanks anyway

You said that "VLC creates the parameters when it is started, and then reuses them for all clients". If this is true, the parameters should be created at Step 3. I showed that parameters are generated at each "control black play", Steps 4 and 8. It's not true that "VLC creat...

No. And besides, VLC creates the parameters when it is started, and then reuses them for all clients. It does not generate them when a client connects. Thanks for the reply, anyway, it was too fast. If you have time to follow the detailed steps below, you will see that what I wrote is right. Your i...

As far as I know, the dst for udp output must be a unicast or multicast address. If you set a unicast address, you should see, with a tcpdump, udp packets sent from your vlc to the unicast address. The same for multicast address, but if you don't have a well configured multicast distribution network...
