Is RTSP still the only protocol allowed in Vod?

Hi,

I'm trying to change VoD protocol to HTML. I saw the following comment of Sebastien Escudier in 2012:

"The problem is you cannot change the stream output protocol with VoD.
Only rtsp vod is supported."

https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=16522

something changed or doesn't VLC still allow to change streaming protocol of VoD to HTML?

I've tried the following:

Start streaming / VideoLan Manager:
vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-port 8888

Access to VML interface:
telnet localhost 4212

VML commands to add AoD endpoint and add local resource
new Test vod enabled
setup Test input af-4-1978.ogg

Consume endpoint from VLC
vlc rtsp://localhost:8888/Test

Until that step, everything work. But I've tried the following in VLM telnet interface without success (HTTP 502 error when accessing to localhost:8080/test both from command line and browser):

setup Test output #standard{access=http,mux=ogg,url=:8080/test}
setup Test output #std{access=http,mux=ogg,url=:8080/test}
setup test output #standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=localhost:8080/test}

I've also tried to export the VML configuration made in VLC VLM configuration interface with same result:
new test vod enabled
setup test input "file:///home/jesus/angel/workspace/trackswitch.js/audios/llamada2h/prueba.mp3"
setup test output #transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100,scodec=none}:http{mux=mp3,dst=180.66.10.62:8989/ole}
setup testmp3 option file-caching=300

Any ideas out there?

Thank you very much in advance.

Regards!

For now, yes. Then, we will move to HTTP.
