I have multiple problems with VOD Streaming via RTSP.

I launch VLC with the following command line args:

vlc --intf http --http-host 0.0.0.0:4000 --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554

1)I have a Linksys WRT54G Router, DMZ'd to the server machine. If I try

vlc rtsp://localhost:5554/test1

it works (video + audio plays fine), but if i try

>vlc rtsp://<external IP address>:5554/a1

it does not: the client connects to the server, displays media type and length - and nothing. I get the following messages:

live555 error: SETUP of'video/MPV' failed SETUP: cannot handle response: RTSP/1.0 461 Unsupported Transport
live555 error: SETUP of'audio/MPA' failed SETUP: cannot handle response: RTSP/1.0 461 Unsupported Transport
live555 error: Nothing to play for rtsp://romwell.homeip.net/test1
live555 error: TCP rollover failed, aborting

Note: Live555 server seems to work in such setup

2)Transcoding problems (trying to view from localhost):

whatever enconding I select in the output options, the meda ALWAYS has video /audio codec of the original file(as viewed from the client). If I select other video codec, no video is displayed ( I can select origianl codedc and change bitrate, though ). If I select any audio encoding, I either get no sound or media won't play. For a52, I get the following messages:

main warning: backward_pts != current_pts (100100)
main warning: vout synchro warning: pts != current_date (-100101)
...

for mp4v/a52 combination, media won't play: length is displayed and the following messages occur:

live555 warning: no data received in 10s. Switching to TCP
live555 error: SETUP of'audio/AC3' failed SETUP: cannot handle response: RTSP/1.0 461 Unsupported Transport
live555 error: SETUP of'video/MP4V-ES' failed SETUP: cannot handle response: RTSP/1.0 461 Unsupported Transport
live555 error: Nothing to play for rtsp://localhost/test2
live555 error: TCP rollover failed, aborting

I used http interface to set up VOD media, all standard commands.

Please help me.
Also, if you hapen to know which of these problems are bugs, and which are due to wrong settings, please write. If you have a working VOD and/or transcoding setup, plese write. Any help appreciated, 'been trying to make it work for several days now =(

Hallo..
I would like to advice u to go to use the Live555MediaServer.. It is much better working with the VLC... I have seen so.. especially when u wanna use a slide bar for a movie.. there is no delay during navigation.....

Thanks, I'll try.
