Hey there

Looking around here got me to try several things.
It is my first time trying to input options into the mediaplayer so i do not know the correct syntax here.

Plz help withe the following:

Im using libstreamer together with android to send a rtp stream to vlc and a PC. If im saving the sdp in a file.sdp and opens it with vlc it works. Video and audio.
The first thing i tried were to open the same file like:
did not work. So the next thing were to look into the options and ended up with:

mediaPlayer.playMedia(mrl, option);
2 questions: how to define the mrl? video port 5006 and audio port 5010.
How do i load in the sdp file or are there a third option to just like "click" the file.sdp?
.sdp informations

There are two ways to play a declarative SDP, either pass the URL of a file that contains it, or pass the SDP as is preceded by "sdp://" (i.e. "sdp://v=0\r\no="...).

Hey there ty for a quick response.
I tried the following and it did't work. Can you plz be more specific? As i wrote i am not sure about the syntax for writing this to VLC. Thanks in advance.

either pass the URL of a file that contains it

I got the file to work. Just like opening it with VLC

I will appreciate if you would explain the second possibility even further due to it being the best choice for my program.

I cannot be more specific than specific, no.

I can't answer your specific question, but something you can try with vlcj is to change your original code to something like this:

I can't answer your specific question, but something you can try with vlcj is to change your original code to something like this:

Code: Select all

String mrl = "C:\\folder\\ws.sdp"; p.setPlaySubItems(true) p.playMedia( mrl );

That worked just like opening it with VLC it self.

What i wish to do, is to open it without using a file. If i could just input a string with the sdp information inside and then playMedia(sdp_String).
That would be truly awesome!

or pass the SDP as is preceded by "sdp://" (i.e. "sdp://v=0\r\no="...).

Per above direction I was hoping you could pass vlc the sdp as a parameter. I have tried many variations of below to no effect.
Is it not possible to pass sdp file dynamically as a vlc parameter? I have a situation in a locked down environment where I can not access an external file.

thanks,

How to format command line parameters depends on your shell or OS. VLC does not intervene here.
