Hi, what do you mean by "it's not running" ?

Hi,
Now my code is working fine and video is playing successfully .but the issue now is that it just play the video for the time dfepend on Sleep function.How can I play it without sleep function until it is finished
libvlc_instance_t * inst;
libvlc_media_player_t *mp;
libvlc_media_t *m;

/* Load the VLC engine */
inst = libvlc_new (0, NULL);

/* Create a new item */
m = libvlc_media_new_path (inst, "rtp://10.0.0.1:5100/Video2");
//m = libvlc_media_new_path (inst, "/path/to/test.mov");

mp = libvlc_media_player_new_from_media (m);

libvlc_media_player_play (mp);
Sleep(30000)

You have to add a callback to wait for the end, block your thread on a semaphore and release it in the callback.

check these functions:

Please give more logs. Does it works with VLC ?

These are the logs whenever I am trying to use the play any RTP address.

[030305bc] main input error: Your input can't be opened
[030305bc] main input error: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtp://@10.0.0.1:5100/Video2'.

Hi,

Is 10.0.0.1 the address of your player? RTP works by opening a port on your client and waiting for the server to send you packets on this port.

RTP address are usually something like rtp://my.ip.add.ress:port/

rtp://10.0.0.1:5100/Video2 is the address from where I have to receive the Live stream in VLC.But I am Not able to do that.
I already open the port No 5100 and I also tried with the format rtp://@:5100\Video2 but it is also not working?

How is your streamer configured?

either it sends you the stream in unicast (or broadcast) to your player (then you can use rtp://@:5100)
or it sends the stream to a multicast address (ie: 239.0.0.1), then you should put rtp://239.0.0.1:5100/

Yes, It is worked For me. Thank you for your time RTP://@:5100
