VLC doesn't plays stdout from rtmpdump

Hi.

I have a problem using VLC with rtmpdump.

I want to play an rtmp livestream in VLC.

rtmpdump is working and downloading the stream to a file properly.

But when I'm using stdout, VLC doesn't plays the stream.

It just shows fd://0 in the status bar and nothing else happens.

This is my command (in a BAT file):

Code: Select all

rtmpdump -v -r "rtmp://foo/bar" | "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -
I'm using VLC 2.0.1 on Windows 7 x64.

Hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance.

IIRC, VLC 2.0.1 has this issue.
If you use Nightly Build of VLC, you can play.

Hi, now I have another problem.

VLC records only the audio, if I click the Record button.

Is there any option that I have to change to record the video, too?

No special option, it should record the stream natively. Post the messages log.
