I downloaded this project https://sourceforge.net/projects/simplestlibvlcexample example from sourceForge.
I'm currently trying to modify the "simplest_libvlc_player" project so it can display a rtsp stream of mine...
Here's the .cpp code of the project:

Code: Select all

#include <Windows.h>
#include "vlc/vlc.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
 {
     	libvlc_instance_t * inst;
     	libvlc_media_player_t *mp;
     	libvlc_media_t *m;
     
	libvlc_time_t length;
	int width;
	int height;
	int wait_time=5000;

     // Load the VLC engine 
     	inst = libvlc_new (0, NULL);

	m = libvlc_media_new_location(inst, "‪rtsp://user:password@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/stream0/"); //This is the line i changed
        
     // Create a media player playing environement 
     	mp = libvlc_media_player_new_from_media (m);

	 
     // No need to keep the media now
     	libvlc_media_release (m);
 
     // play the media_player
     	libvlc_media_player_play (mp);

     // Let it play 
     	_sleep (length-wait_time); 
    
     // Stop playing
     	libvlc_media_player_stop (mp);
 
     // Free the media_player
     	libvlc_media_player_release (mp);
 
     	libvlc_release (inst);
 
     	return 0;
 }

I would like to know what I'm doing wrong...
My rtsp link works when i open it in VlcMediaPlayer's Open Network Stream...

Can you paste the logs?

Are those the logs you wanted to see?

Maybe the outputs from debug will help too!

I don't see any other logs... And, before you ask, I did changed some infos in the log above to hide the IP/username/password.

I just changed sdk's version (downloaded 2.2.8 and replaced it) and it worked fine after.
