Hello Everyone,

I want to use VLC as RTSP server :D.
i,e from the RTSP client can query this server by using the URL of the format: rtsp://<serverIP:serverPort>//<mediaFile>
I have compiled and installed vlc-0.8.6h.tar.gz on my Red Hat linux.

The configuration i used is :

]# ./configure --with-ffmpeg-tree=/home/ragu/vlc/ffmpeg-export-2007-12-28 --with-vorbis-tree=/home/ragu/vlc/libvorbis-1.2.0 --with-libmpeg2-tree=/home/ragu/vlc/mpeg2dec-0.4.1 --with-ogg-tree=/home/ragu/vlc/libogg-1.1.3 --disable-wxwidgets --disable-skins2 --disable-plugins --disable-fribidi --disable-glx --disable-glx --disable-dvbpsi libdir=/usr/local --disable-sdl

After installing if I use :

]# vlc -I http --rtsp-host 012.34.56.78:5554 --rtsp-http --rtsp-http-port 80 --rtsp-caching 30000

I get the following error:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--rtsp-http'
Try `vlc --help' for more information.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does the version vlc-0.8.6h support HTTP tunneling ?
Do I need to use some other configuration to get this working ??
Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.

with Regards,
Rag
