i have this posted on superuser too: https://superuser.com/questions/1361028 ... era-stream

So using the following commands I can re-stream and play on the same machine a .ts or .mp4 saved from a camera stream, but i cannot do the same with the stream itself... (fyi: debian 9 w/ vlc 3.0.3)

I can play the stream (and save it with needed code(not shown)):

Code: Select all

vlc rtsp://192.168.60.200:554/2
i can stream the saved file:

Code: Select all

vlc 2018_09_14__13_02_56.ts --sout '#std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=127.0.0.1:1234}'
and play it back on same machine with:

Code: Select all

vlc udp://@127.0.0.1:1234
but this does not work, there are no obvious errors, the playback stream just 'hunts' not starting/connecting...

Code: Select all

vlc rtsp://192.168.60.200:554/2 --sout '#std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=127.0.0.1:1234}'
this is the properties of the stream when played by vlc:

Code: Select all
