The VideoLAN Forums

Hello,

I am receiving a h.264 encoded video stream over IP-network an my PC. With Wireshark I can see that I really receive the stream. (I can see many IP-packages with udp protocol)

Now I tried to catch the stream with VLC with:
udp://"IP-Address":"Port"
or
udp://"IP-Address"

But I only get the error message, the VLC could not open:
open of `udp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:19000' failed: (null)


I am using the VLC version 1.1.4 because I get the information that the newest version has some trouble with h.264 codec.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you for help.

Make sure you are using your IP address and port number. In fact, you should not even need to specify your IP address.
