How to show a HTTP stream in Wireshark?

[jjulianf23]

Hello community,

I just set up a HTTP stream of a video between my Server and Client system.

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv <path to video file> --sout '#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=800,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100,scodec=none}standard:{access=http,mus=ts,dst=:8080/}'

Now I try to visualize the packets in Wireshark. Unfortunately, I can only the the TCP packets being sent between Server and Clients but I cannot see any upper communication Layer (like HTTP).
However, HTTP is activated to be shown in Wireshark (under Analyse -> Activate Protocols)

Does anyone have a solution for that? (I know this is rather a Wireshark question than VLC player question, but still I hope someone can help me)

Best regards

Use the standard HTTP port 80 instead of 8080 (you may need system privileges).
