Hi

I have an application which sends out two RTP streams (audio and video) including RTCP for each stream.
I'm not so familiar with VLC and I wonder if its possibly to get vlc to play both streams, synchronizing with the help of RTCP ?
I've tried to play both streams at the same time using the option "Play another media synchronously ..." in the GUI but in those cases only one of the streams gets played (never the extra stream added).
I'm guessing there might be a command line option for this but I haven't found any.

Thanks in advance !

RTCP synchronization is automatically if the streams are part of the same SDP (multiple m-lines).

Thanks
(I didn't know I needed to create a SDP file.)

Hi camelstrike, hi Rémi Denis-Courmont

I have two different rtsp streams (audio and video) coming from different devices to my VLM that broadcasts them to my clients.
I'd like to synchronize both streams so that I can have perfect lip sync on the resulting stream played by clients (with vlc).
I'm using the following configuration file:

Code: Select all

# video channel (connection to an rtsp server)
new channel1 broadcast enabled
setup channel1 input rtsp://user:password@172.32.0.20:554/path/media.amp
setup channel1 output #duplicate{dst=std{dst=rtp{port=6666,mux=ts,name="Stream1",description="Stream1Description",sdp=rtsp://:8081/test.sdp}}
# audio channel (receive through rtp stream)
new channel2 broadcast enabled
setup channel2 input rtp://@196.0.0.5:9999
setup channel2 output #duplicate{dst=rtp{port=5555,mux=ts,name="Stream2",description="Stream2Description",sdp=rtsp://:8082/test.sdp}}

control channel1 play
control channel2 play

By now my clients connect in this way:
rtsp://[serverip]:8081/test.sdp (for first stream)
rtsp://[serverip]:8082/test.sdp (for second stream)
and they have 2 separate streams (1 for video and 1 for audio)

So what do I have to do to have those streams synchronized into 1 stream on my clients?
Can I receive both streams simultaneously (and synchronized) using a single vlc instance?

Thanks in advance for any hint!

P.S: i'm also able to modify my configuration to have vlm sending rtp streams to my clients (is it better than above to achieve syncronization?)

First, you're going to need RTCP-SR on both input streams, otherwise VLC simply has no way to sync. Then the clients will need to support RTCP-SR as well and do the same as VLC.
