rtsp streaming to vlc from ffmpeg

[johnantony]

hi, iam trying to encode rtsp streaming from ffmpeg and decode it in vlc player

this is the command i tried to encode the rtsp stream from pc to vlc

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -re -i input -f rtsp -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://172.28.107.100:8090/live.sdp

tried to receive it in vlc using this command

Code: Select all

vlc rtsp://172.28.107.100:8090/test.sdp

but, it showing these errors

[00007f42b0000e98] live555 demux error: Failed to connect with rtsp://172.19.102.198:9990/test1.sdp
[00007f42b0000e98] core access error: connection failed: Connection refused

[00007f42ac0009b8] core input error: open of `rtsp://172.19.102.198:9990/test1.sdp' failed

in vlc settings we alredy changed input codecs --> network --> Live555 stream support --> RTP over RTSP

The port numbers are mismatched...

The error means there is no server at that port...

The error means there is no server at that port...

Remi,

I have read the manual for both VLC and ffmpeg. I am new to both programs, but it would seem that VLC would be able to "capture" the stream on that port without a server, and that VLC is a server of sorts.

VLC is looking for a stream and it should be on that port, why then would VLC need something else?

Could ffmpeg be used as a server, since ffserver is no longer supported?

What server do you recommend?

Thank you so much!

Your are not making any sense and I cannot answer your question.
