The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,
I can't get VOD work with my setup.

Client and Server are VLC 0.8.5

Client Server
Windows 2000 ---LAN---WindowsXP

On my Server (WindowsXP):
1) I put myvideo.mpg in the same directory as vlc.exe
2) C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554

On my Client (Windows 2000):
1) telnet to <Server_IP_address> 4212
2) telnet succesfull
3) > new Test vod enabled
4) > setup Test input myvideo.mpg
5) C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc rtsp://<Server_IP_address>:5554/Test
Result: "Errors: Unable to open 'rtsp://<Server_IP_address>:5554/Test'"

Can anybody help me, please?

I currently am running VLC in conjunction with Vbricks enconders and Amino 110's and 500's. We are attempting to use VLC as a VOD solutuion. I understand I need to set up a VLM session to receive RTSP traffic from a VLC client. I am attemtping to set this up using the GUI based input to VLC. I am having problems getting the clients to receive the feed I have inputted in the VLM control panel. I am using 0.0.0.0:5554 as the VLM's RTSP setting. We are pointing the VLC to the same address and adding on the program title we mapped. Can anyone please give me as hand setting this up from scratch using the HTTP or GUI. I am not having any luck using the telnet commands and I have no Linux experience. Thanks

Hi,
please do this in the telnet Interface:

new test vod enabled
setup test input "c:\\path\\filename.ext"

for control the stream use

show test
and you receive the correct input media in the screen output.

And everything works fine. I have run it under WinXP.
