Hi,

I'm trying to get VLC to stream to WMP. I've been using RTSP for VLC to VLC in testing, and it works fine, but when I put "rtsp://127.0.0.1:1234/test" into Windows Media Player, it says it can't play it. Any help and thoughts are greatly appreciated, as I have to use WMP for the client end.

Adam

WMP can't use rtsp

Windows Media Player 9 and 10 support RTSP, and Im having the same problem as adamishi300u.

Andri

I would also like to know if this is possible at all. Do we need to set some options on the vlc server side so that windows media player will receive the format it is expecting? Is compatibilty with WMP a possibilty in future releases?

I too am having problems with WMP-9. I also cannot get Real Player to connect. VLC, however, can recieve the stream without any difficulty.

For those that are more knowledgable that I about these things, I have included the log files from the unsuccessful attempts of Real Player and WMP in the hope that they hold clues to what is going wrong.

Any help is most appreciated!

One thing I note is that you have the video and audio on the same IP/port number. I think they need their own even port number for each.

Also, WMP needs to see an RTSP server response. Chapter 5 in the VideoLAN Streaming howto describes how VLM can respond to RTSP requests and serve up VoD or broadcast streams.

I've not been able to get it to work, but WMP at least doesn't error out for with an "unsupported protocol" error.

-- ggunners

I tried to enable vod streaming over vlc to wmp9.
I used vlm as it is described in doc - preparing vod task with mpg input file in telnet interface.
The stream could be opened by vlc itself without troubles but WMP9 failed to open it. Mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/) manages to open the file (rtsp://localhost/test) but without video.
