The VideoLAN Forums

Anyone know how to play streaming content from a WVC54G?

I've searched the forums but the posts are quite old and I hope its possible. One thing though, I've only used VLC for AVI playback so I'm no expert be gentle.



OS X 10.4.9, VLC 0.8.5 on an Intel iMac Core Duo.

1024 is a port in the "System" range. Normal users can't create services on those port. Use higher port numbers

There was an error in how the address information was specified. I can't tell from this what the error was, but VLC made an error reading the information

Same here.

Thanks for the feedback but it appears the WVC54G can't be used in conjunction with a Mac it appears to be due to the camera using some ActiveX component in IE to stream.

For the record I did mange to get playback in mPlayer but the lag was about 3+ minutes on what was being recorded and the stream cout out every 5 minutes or so anyway.

I'll have to look for another cheap wireless IP camera that IS Mac friendly.
