Hi
How do I see the network address of the file being played in vlc? Like a network stream?
I'm playing streams like this on VLC : Is it possible for me to stream this stream, if yes, how?
If I use the wizard it asks me for network URL, and if I put this address in for example " rtmp://cp39920.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live " it wont work. Do do I fix this? Thanks

I have this stream also that I want to stream

Hi Omarion,

Of course you can stream it out. Use this:
where X=IP and Y=port

The problem you will run into is that the stream will eventually die, so you have to restart it. Now, you could also build a shell script to automatically restart stream when dead and make that shell script run as a 1-minute cron.

Hope this helps

Hi Omarion,

Code: Select all

rtmpdump -r rtmp://cp39920.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live -W http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.rsl.705.swf -p http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/ustream.html -y nasahd@55196 | "C:\Program\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --sout='#transcode{vcodec=WMV1,vb=1500}:http{access=http,mux=asf,dst=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:YYYY}'

where X=IP and Y=port
