I need help with saving stream

[doblinger]

Hello,

I am trying to save a rtsp stream via web plugin using the vlc.playlist.add method.

Here is my code:

var vlc = document.getElementById("vlc");
var mrl = "rtsp://xx.xx.xxx.xxx:xxxx"; //actual stream is internal

var options = ":sout=#duplicate{dst=file{dst=C:\\try.mp4},dst=display}";

vlc.playlist.clear();
var vId = vlc.playlist.add(mrl, "vlc", options);
vlc.playlist.playItem(vId);

No file is even created. I've tried using several versions of VLC including 0.8.6 and 1.1.3.

Any ideas??

Hi,

I have a similar question, but related to PVR and Pause/Resume. I would like to play LiveTV through the VLC plugin and somehow instruct the plugin to start recording locally on the PC's hard disk.
I seem to have read somehere that this kind of functionality has been disabled in the plugin because of security issues that might result from allowing this. This is somewhere understandable because 'malicious' javascript code can then obviously start writing to you hard disk.

Still, I wonder whether it isn't possible to allow this through some kind of 'signing' mechanism which approves the server. E.g. with a public/private key concept whereby the private key is locally stored on the PC. The target environment where this could be useful is for instance in hospitality/kiosk-like environments.
