I am trying to run VLC via command line. What I am trying to do it have VLC open, then start streaming a designated video file as UDP to the address 192.168.6.2 port 17. I want it to send it out as H.264 with MP3 audio. Can someone help me with how I would build this command line out?

Hi, what did you try so far ?

you probably want to use the dummy interface first:

Code: Select all

--intf dummy

then you need the stream output option with transcoding, and output as udp

Code: Select all

--sout="#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mp3,.....}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=yourip:yourport}"

and finally, put the file you want to stream.

I got it to work using:

vlc /home/pi/Desktop/(filename) -vvv --sout "#std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=(IP Address):(Port)}"
