VOD with realtime stream as source allows only one client
Posted: 26 Oct 2012 10:55
Hello All,
It seems that VOD using real-time stream as source allows only one RTSP client at a time.
I launched 4 VLC instances to make the test:
VLC1 is used to push the stream to IP address 10.10.30.20@5004
VLC2 on 10.10.30.20 is used with VLM configurator (that under "tools" menu) as VOD server whose input is "rtp://@:5004", name "PUB0", leaving output empty
VLC3 and VLC4 on 10.10.30.20 are used as 2 clients requesting the RTSP VOD with "rtsp://10.10.30.20/PUB0".
What happened is that only one of the VLC3/4 is able to watch the real-time video. Sometimes starting VLC4 will automatically stop VLC3; othertimes VLC4 will try for a couple of seconds and stops automatically.
The above does not happen if the VLM uses a local media file as the source.
Is this a problem of the VLM module? Any workaround? (we have to use the VOD instead of broadcast).
