I'm at a stage where I can display a live RTSP stream. I now need to save/record it.
After searching a bit, I tried using using ":sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ps,dst=d:\\CWrecTest.avi}}"
This works, but has a small problem.

My sequence of steps is like:

Code: Select all

libvlc_media_player_set_drawable()
libvlc_media_new()
libvlc_media_add_option()         /* myOpts */
libvlc_media_add_option()         /*  ":sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ps,dst=d:\\CWrecTest.avi}}" */
                                                /* without this additional option, the stream is displayed. When I add this, nothing is displayed, but recording happens */ 
libvlc_media_player_set_media()
libvlc_media_release()
libvlc_media_player_play()

I need to have the stream displayed continuously, & recording happen as well.
Is there some option I'm missing out on, or the order of options? Or is there an API for the same?

Thanks!

Add a duplicate and a dst=display

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I tried putting an additional

Code: Select all

libvlc_media_add_option(":sout=#duplicate{dst=display}")

after the existing one.

Still doesn't display, just recording happens. Tried some other permutations, where display continued, but recording didn't happen.
I'm not too familiar with the format of the string, could you please be a bit more specific?

Thanks!
