how do you watch ustream feeds inside vlc mediaplayer? justin.tv would be nice to know too, i guess...

Use wireshark and sniff out the media URL, then use Media -> Open Network Stream... and paste the URL there.

i use wireshark to sniff the media url
rtmp://flash54.ustream.tv:1935/ustreamVideo/6296046
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtmp://flash54.ustream.tv:1935/ustreamVideo/6296046'. Check the log for details.
i go to preferences, show settings all, advanced, logging
log filename C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\vlc\vlc-log.txt
log format text
verbosity -1
no log ever appears.
that media url probably doesn't work anymore though because the stream is offline by the time you try it. does anyone have a working example of rtmp being played in vlc using this method? because i haven't gotten rtmp to be played in vlc at all.

Open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start playback, it will complain. And you cannot playback all RTMP streams with VLC, some streams have compatibility issues with live555 and other require auth info which you cannot input from VLC.

thanks for your reply. you have an example of one that works? i've been trying mplayer.exe and smplayer.exe but since this is a vlc.exe forum i'll focus on that here. i tried another stream thats always on and can test to see if i can get anything to work at all and it kind of does but it seems to be choking on that so it takes a long time to load i get 1 frame then nothing then lags out and i have to x out end now and it of course crashes.
rtmp://npsaflivefs.fplive.net:1935/npsaflive-live/stream50

this came up when i just pasted the link. rtmp-caching doesn't exist? how do i make it exist? does anyone have a test rtmp stream to work with so at least 1 works at all?

rtmp-caching does not exist just means that rtmp-caching=0 doesn't do anything. Real error is "Failed to open url using libavformat"

how do you open the stream with libavformat?

That is a limitation of libavformat. Hopefully upcoming libavformat versions have better compatibility.

I'm having difficulties sniffing a
justin.tv rtmp URL. I've tried with wireshark, coojah/blader, and nettransport. The closest I get to a url that works in VLC is this:
rtmp://199.9.255.48/app<break>jtv_ZeBfWTN9E29_L6b9.flv
http://www.justin.tv/mairj2345 http://www-cdn.justin.tv/widgets/live_s ... 0ae901.swf
from nettransport. I would really like to watch some of my favorite streams through VLC. Would someone help me sniff?

Or better yet, has anyone ever been able to view a rtmp stream through VLC?
