Hi,

How do I create an SDP file for the following?

I have a network camera that outputs each frame as JPEG, formatted as a JFIF file. The camera puts this data directly in UDP packtets. There are no RTP headers, and nothing that looks like RFC2435. In Wireshark, I have collected payload data from a few UDP Packets and put them together in a file. An image viewer could then detect the file as JFIF, and understand image size etc. It could also show the upper part of the image correctly. (I was too lazy to collect all UDP packets of the image, I just used the first ones.)

How do I get VLC to show video from this camera?

I don't think we support this.

SDP can hardly describe anything other than RTP. The only non-RTP thing that VLC can handle with SDP is raw MPEG-TS.

Thanks for the info. Are there any plans for supporting this?

No.

Ok. Thanks for your quick responses.
