rm stream in 1.1.2 not playing (problem with live555?)

[elite185]

My school offers to stream it's lectures. The way you stream the lectures is by downloading a .rm file, and then opening the .rm file in Realplayer.

I was wondering if I could use VLC to do either of the following:

1) play the stream directly in VLC or

2) download the stream and play that downloaded file in VLC

3) any other way you can think of to get it to play in VLC! (or maybe another program, like realalternative?)

Currently, when I try to play the stream in VLC, it asks for a username/password (RTSP authentication, this is expected). When I enter it, the password does not work, it then tells me:

Code: Select all

Session failed: The requested RTSP session could not be established. Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://128.249.159.41:554/AY1011/Fall-1/B1CC/010803201009.rm?cloakport=80,554,7070'. Check the log for details. File reading failed: VLC could not open the file "C:\Users\XXXXX\Desktop\--stop--". Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///C:/Users/XXXXX/Desktop/--stop--'. Check the log for details. Session failed: The requested RTSP session could not be established. Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'pnm://128.249.159.41:7070/AY1011/Fall-1/B1CC/010803201009.rm?cloakport=80,554,7070'. Check the log for details.

When I open the stream in RealPlayer, it has a popup saying:

Code: Select all

Username and Password Required Please enter your username and password for this content: Server: 128.249.159.41 Server Message: nemesis.ContentRealm Username: __________ Password: _________

I enter the username and password they gave us (the same one I tried in VLC), after a few moments, the stream starts playing.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I have been unable to make any progress on my own.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Here is the .rm file changed to a .txt file:

try rtsp://user:passwd@128.249.159.41:554/AY1011/Fall-1/B1CC/010804201008.rm?cloakport=80,554,7070

[elite185]

I made a new .rm file with just this:

Code: Select all

rtsp://FALL1:XXXXX@128.249.159.41:554/AY1011/Fall-1/B1CC/010804201008.rm?cloakport=80,554,7070

(XXXXX is where the password is, FALL1 is the username)

and I still get a popup asking for a username and password. When I reenter the information it still doesn't work.

If I open that same .rm file in realplayer, it works fine.

Thanks for the help, but I still need assistance!


EDIT:
Let me add that if i type rtsp://FALL1:XXXXX@128.249.159.41:554/AY1011/Fall-1/B1CC/010804201008.rm?cloakport=80,554,7070 (XXXXX is where the password is) directly into my browser it opens realplayer and starts the stream without prompting for a password. If i just use rtsp://username:password@128.249.159.41:554/AY1011/Fall-1/B1CC/010804201008.rm?cloakport=80,554,7070 (obviously wrong username and password) it will prompt me for a username and password, and then I enter the correct info, and then it will start.
