Streaming of playlist - no client connection

[perica]

Hi!

I am using VLC 0.8.1 on the SuSE 9.2

The list of URL's to stream is defined in the playlist asfinag_playlist.m3u

#EXTM3U
http://80.240.228.233/liveimgs/cam4_camera007_233.jpg
http://80.240.228.233/liveimgs/camera1288_233.jpg

and the command line to start the stream is:

./vlc -vvv /home/banjann/video/asfinag_playlist.m3u :sout='#duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,url=xxx.168.0.220:8081}}' --http-continuous --repeat

At the server side I can see that the streaming is running, but at the client side at (Win XP) I can not open the connection.

Here is the log out at the client side:

The main idea is to have the fallback input source in case that the firts one failed.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards!

Hey,

The log for the client would have been interesting.

The url in your playlist htp:// ...... .jpg doesn't look like a video.

Do you manage to view this url locall with vlc.

Hi!

The input source is not a video, but the steady jpeg, regularly refreshed. I can open it and stream further without using the playlists.
But in case when I define the source in the playlist I can not connect to the VLC server not even on the same machine.

At the server side log is the following:
