http streaming question

Postby DANZI » 07 Feb 2016 01:54

Hello-

Using VLC 2.1.6
Ubuntu 14.04

I am trying to http stream an rtsp stream to http.

the http is set up as follows

port 8080 (default)

path as /stream (I suspect this is not correct)

also set to display locally (which it does).

Transcoding options as follows:

transcoding activated

profile Video VP80 (default)

Misc options

Stream all elementary streams active

Generated stream output string:

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=VP80,vb=2000,acodec=vorb,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:duplicate{dst=http{mux=webm,dst=:8080/},dst=display} :sout-all :sout-keep

Then VLC starts streaming, the picture opens, VLC says it is streaming, the PC is working hard, but the picture display does not change.

Also when I try to open the new stream on another PC in VLC or a browser I cannot connect to it

I use http://IPaddress_of_streaming_pc:8080/stream

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks DAN

I solved the connectivity issue, IP was incorrect.

But I still cannot decode stream.

Here is log:

any help would be appreciated

Thanks DAN
