VLC and DSS

[diptendu]

Hello,

Has anybody been able to use VLC as a broadcaster for DSS?

I am able to create the SDP file using VLC and have copied it to the Movies folder of DSS. However, the video stream is not accessible by client PCs running VLC or QT Player.

Interestingly, I am able to see the live video stream on the Windows machine running DSS by opening the SDP file with QT Player using the "Open FIle" menu. But all attempts to use rtsp://ip/file.sdp from other machines on the LAN fail: VLC gives DESCRIBE error.

Try to change the ip in the line c= of the SDP file to the loopback address, 127.0.0.1. That's my best guess.
