[tof]

Welcome,
I try to do a vod server on rtsp with vlc. But it works on a LAN but if i try to access to it behind router it

doesn't work.

Server :

vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host

IP_du_serveur_sur_lequel_je_travaille:8000

Telnet:

new film vod enabled
setup film input emplacement_sur_le_serveur_du_fichier_que_je_veux_lire

client:

vlc rtsp://IP_du_serveur_sur_lequel_je_travaille:8000/film

on server:

help me please

Many possible things .......

try to use a mux that is more compatible with internet :

new film vod mux mp2t enabled

try also to run vlc with this option --network-synchronisation

if not :

1 - Is your file is really accepted ? To be sure try to look what happen when you enter "setup film input emplacement_sur_le_serveur_du_fichier_que_je_veux_lire"

2 - Your video may have a too high bandwith/bitrate for your internet line .... if it's the case think about the transcoding method

[tof]

thx for your answer.

Nothing doesn't work.

mux mp2t is accepted but I can't access to my stream.

--network-synchronisation is not accepted.

my connection is in 2mbps symetric. The video needs 700mbps.So I think that the problem doesn't come from here.

Another idea?

[Mimiru]

700Kbps I hope .......

sorry can't help you more ................

try another port .... like the 5554 one

[tof]

lol yes kbps

Question : Is VLC able to be a real VOD server ?

[Mimiru]

well yes ..... I made it work with exactly your type of settings


Oh, something came to me : are you in a routed network ?

if yes double check if the port is opened and if it's routed to your server and if there isn't any firewall that is blocking the comunication

[tof]

The server is a OVH dedicated server. SO There is no firewall. But if try to read my vod server in another server it works. But when I try behind my Freebox in routed mode without redirection or blocking of port it doesn't work. My problem is that I would like to find a soluce to success to access to my vod server without modify router parameters. I know to modify these parameters but it's the case of all vod users on my future site.

This is my problem.


PS : I'm sorry for my english I'm French.

[Mimiru]

RTSP needs routing

Even if with your freebox it seems to work transparently there is routing settings.


I you don't want to change those kind of settings use HTTP instead of rtsp ....
