howdy,

i'm trying to set up a stream (well a few eventually) for testing throughput, etc. unfortunately, i can't even get one VoD object created ...

Welcome, Master
> new test vod enabled
new : could not create media

any ideas? i wish i could get more verbose logging so i could help myself, but i've got no idea here ...

thanks in advance!

run VLC with "vlc -vvv --color -I telnet" and type the command again. Then report the contents of the VLC debug log.

Thanks for your input. I had orignally run "vlc --ttl 3 --color -I telnet --http-host 0.0.0.0:8080" which seemed to stop all the output messages. I realized that after running your command that I had the wx interface bound to 4212 which was wrong. I killed the wx process and your command worked well with no errors ... however, i now get a segfault when I type in "new Test vod enabled"

root@bunt:/var/log# vlc --ttl 3 --color -I telnet
VLC media player 0.8.4 Janus
[00000267] main interface: creating vlm
[00000267] telnet interface: Using the VLM interface plugin...
[00000267] telnet interface: Telnet interface started on interface 4212

any ideas?

Make sure you start vlc as "root" to bind to rtsp port 554. And make sure no other VoD server is using the port. Hope this helps.

or run with option: --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554 to bind on another port.
