Hi,

I am trying to use VLC player on Windows XP to view a video camera stream using the information provided within the SAP announcement from the camera which is thus:

v=0
o=- 152252017158219103 17510707 IN IP4 192.168.0.116
s=RTSP Server - The Shop
t=0 0
a=charset:Shift_JIS
a=range:npt=0-
a=control:*
a=etag:1234567890
m=video 2240 RTP/AVP 96
c=IN IP4 224.2.0.1/10
b=AS:256
a=rtpmap:96 MP4V-ES/30000
a=control:trackID=1
a=fmtp:96 profile-level-id=1; config=000001B001000001B509000001000000012000845D4C28A021E0A31F;decode_buf=76800
a=x-framerate:15
a=framerate:15.0
m=audio 2242 RTP/AVP 0
c=IN IP4 224.2.0.1/10
b=AS:64
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000/1
a=control:trackID=2
a=ptime:125

I have tried using the Open Network Stream with "rpt://@224.2.0.1/2240" and "rpt://224.2.0.1/2240" but these do not seem to work.

Is there something I am missing from the URL for VLC to view the stream successfully.

(I can see the packets in Wireshark so I know the data is coming through on that multicast address/port.)

Thanks,

Andy

rtp://@224.2.0.1:2240, you mean?

Sorry, finger trouble, yes I meant to type rtp not rpt in the question.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Andy

There is still the : vs. / difference.

Yes, indeed. I should have cut and past the actual text string I was using...

I did mean to put: rtp://@<multicast address>:<port>

Sorry for the confusion.

Andy

Did you ever figure out this problem. I am having the same problem. I was disappointed to see that the only replies you got were from people criticizing typos.

Many network opening issues are because of typos or missing @

If you want more info, open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) on client and then try playback.
