Hi,
I am new here,hello!
I have a question . I want VLC for Android connect my camera use TCP,but I find that VLC for Android use UDP first.Only when UDP fail it will use TCP.
How can I use TCP at the first time?
Thanks in advance.

What streaming protocol do you use?

What streaming protocol do you use?

I use RTSP protocol.
My camera only accept TCP,so I have to wait for about 20s then VLC can connect with camera.That's too long.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks.

there is an option to force rtsp tcp
It's In the GUI.
Or in command line : --rtsp-tcp

I can not found the command line...
and I found no option in the GUI...
Can you show me the code please?

Add "--rtsp-tcp" to the list around line 512 on vlc-android/jni/libvlcjni.c

Add "--rtsp-tcp" to the list around line 512 on vlc-android/jni/libvlcjni.c

I have added like this:
const char *argv[] = {
"-I", "dummy",
"--no-osd",
"--no-video-title-show",
"--no-stats",
"--no-plugins-cache",
"--no-drop-late-frames",
"--avcodec-fast",
"--avcodec-threads=0",
"--rtsp-tcp=true",
"--subsdec-encoding", subsencodingstr,
enable_time_stretch ? "--audio-time-stretch" : "--no-audio-time-stretch",
use_opensles ? "--aout=opensles" : "--aout=android_audiotrack",
"--androidsurface-chroma", chromastr != NULL && chromastr[0] != 0 ? chromastr : "RV32",
"--rtsp-tcp",
};

But,it still take 13s to start the video.

You don't need the =true part

Thank you edwardw .
I have tried for many times.Like "--rtsp-tcp",change this code to other line.But it's still not work.
