I am using the current version of VLC/ActiveX. I use VB 6.0 as the development platform.
I create the ALC controls at runtime(eliminates studio issues). I am able to view multicast streams (udp://@224.1.1.1:8501 - where 8501 is the port) .
When I try to start a video using: rtsp://192.168.2.50:554/r1/movie(.mpg)
nothing happens and I just see the cone:
code:
VOptions() = Array(":no-audio")
PlayStr = "rtsp://192.168.2.50:554/r1/movie"
VirtualVcMain.addTarget PlayStr, VOptions, VLCPlayListReplace, -666
VirtualVcMain.play
OPERATIONAL NOTES:
I can use the same string into an Amino STB and it plays, so IP/port/filename is okay.
I tried both with and without file extension.
Using the VLC player: it also does not play
