VLM - Mosaic

[cilvaring]

Hi there.

I've been trying and trying to get my six cameras to stream in a mosaic on VLC and I just quite can't get it to work.
To create the VLM I used the VLC HowTo and other posts.

But it seems like my black background is in front of the streams...
VLC opens a window called "VLC (Direct3D11 output)" which is just black.
I'm unable to close that window, so I have to go through the Task Manager. And there it says:



This shows me that VLC is clearly communicating with the cameras and there must be a feed coming through to the PC.
But where are the streams?

Does anybody have any ideas??

With:

Code: Select all

vlc.exe --vlm-conf config-2.vlm -I dummy

I call this VLM file:

Code: Select all

I also tried the Sub Streams which for Reolink is "rtsp://admin:123456@192.168.0.126:554/h264Preview_01_sub" and with "...vb=8192,fps=30..." because that's the max bitrate resp. fps of the camera that are set in the settings but to no avail.

Thanks for the help !!

P.S. Please don't give me any grief about the password on the cams. It's an isolated network
