Problems streaming from shell - FC6

[shaamone]

Hi,

My first post, so feel free to flame etc if I'm in the wrong place. Sorry if I am..

Anyway, I'm having a problem I'd really like to sort out. I'm running Fedora Core 6 with VLC version 0.8.5.

I'm trying to capture a stream from a Linksys ethernet webcam & stream back it to my network using VLC. I've done it successfully using the VLC gui, but when I try to launch VLC with my parameters from the shell I get the following error :

Code: Select all

vlc http://admin:admin@10.0.0.3/img/video.asf :sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=10.0.0.6:8080}} :sout-all VLC media player 0.8.5 Janus [00000293] main private error: no sout stream module matched "duplicatedst=stddst=10.0.0.6" [00000292] main stream output error: stream chain failed for `duplicatedst=stddst=10.0.0.6:8080' [00000290] main input error: cannot start stream output instance, aborting [00000281] main playlist: nothing to play [00000281] main playlist: stopping playback

I'm grabbing the :sout parameters directly from the VLC gui when it's working..

I know I could just use the GUI but I need to script this stuff as I'll be launching VLC from a php script.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Just had a moment of clarity & sorted it myself

Needed quotes around my parameters... like this :

Code: Select all

vlc "http://admin:admin@10.0.0.3/img/video.asf" ":sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=10.0.0.6:8080}}"

At least it's recorded somewhere now for next time I forget
