I am trying to stream an Mpeg4 video stream from an Axis 221 camera to a streaming video broadcast service (akamai)
I am using VLC 0.8.6e on a windows 2003 server.
I can connect VLC to the camera and display the mpeg4 stream locally without a problem by using the source rtsp://<ipaddress>:554/mpeg4/media.amp.
To stream the service to akamai is supposed to be an unicast announced quicktime stream and I am provided with the following information.
Entry point IP address
reflector port nnnnn
and the user name and password.
Looking at the documentation provided for Quicktime broadcaster it appears I need to enter the destination file as an announced quicktime stream with title "reflector:port.sdp and give a username and password.
I have tried setting up the streaming output in VLC as the following using the gui
rtp <ipaddress> port 554
MPEG TS
Video codec mp4v
SAP announce groupname "reflector" channel name "<port>.sdp"
select all elementary streams ttl 5
questions: there does not seem to be anywhere to set the username and password for the stream ?
has anyone used VLC with akamai to broadcast mpeg4 ?
Any pointers on how I would set this up using VLC greatfully accepted.
