[HELP] Problem for playing a MJPG stream

Postby Damz » 14 May 2012 16:39

Hello,

I have a problem to play a simple JPG stream, with vlc-1.1.11 everything work perfectly but with vlc-2.0.1 i need to use the --http-continuous command to remove the Connection: close header from the HTTP request.

Code: Select all

vlc.exe --http-continuous "http://x.x.x.x/camera.jpg?fps=30"
The problem comes when i want to play the stream with a simple web page using the mozilla vlc plugin:

Code: Select all

<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" name="video1" autoplay="yes" loop="no" width="640" height="480" target="http://x.x.x.x/camera.jpg?fps=30" />
Before with vlc-1.1.11 this script worked, but not anymore. Is there a way to add the --http-continuous command with the mozilla plugin ?
