help: rtsp stream not readable by other players

Postby 00se7en » 28 Dec 2006 01:46

i am very new to vlc so hopefully this is just a matter of me not knowing how to setup the stream. i am trying to stream a file (mpeg) using rtsp through videolan.

i do this like in the tutorial:
% vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554

[telnet:]
new Test vod enabled
setup Test input my_video.mpg

% vlc rtsp://server:5554/Test

the stream plays fine in the instance of vlc player that opens it but then i cant open the url in other players. (i tried jmf and wmp)

i would really like to stream rtsp and then open it with jmf so i can embed the video in a java swing application i have.

has anyone else been able to stream rtsp from videolan and open the url with other clients?

I assume you replaced 0.0.0.0 with the actual address of your server,
and did the same with "server" at your other computer or stb.

yes i'm just streaming to my own machine on 192.168.0.101:5554 and the stream can be opened in vlc and quicktime but not in realplayer, wmp, or jmf (which is the one i want) and i was wondering if there is something else that you have to do to make the stream compatible with ALL rtsp capable players.
