I am using vlc 0.8.6 to stream media files using RTSP.
I am able to run the commands using RTSP and are working too.
I am using following command:

vlc <input stream> --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://<ip address>:<port>/test.sdp}'

My question is :
Why we need test.sdp in above command?

Can any one help me?


Thanks in Advance,

test.sdp is an example. But you should refrain from running the stream at the "root" of the RTSP server because this causes some interoperability problems.
