how to fetch SDP file from the client??

Postby Teiki » 04 Aug 2004 12:36

I want to send some streams from the server and get the sdp file at the client.
I have some questions:
1) does VLC create SDP file when it sends the stream? If yes, what's the name of that SDP file and where can I find it?

2)How can I receive it at the client?

The following are some command:
on the server:
vlc input_stream --sout '#rtp{dst=192.168.0.12,port=1234,sdp=http://server:8080/test.sdp}'

on the client:
vlc http://server:8080/test.sdp

I get confused about the server address(sdp = http://server:8080/test.sdp), is it the localhost address? and the name test.sdp?

ok, please help me with those questions.
thank you!

VLC does create the SDP file and serves it using its own HTTP server

so in the following commands

vlc input_stream --sout '#rtp{dst=192.168.0.12,port=1234,sdp=http://server:8080/test.sdp}'
and vlc http://server:8080/test.sdp

server is the DNS of the computer that is streaming the file

hope this helps,

hi, Anil, thanks for your answer.

If the vlc doesn't generate the sdp, then should I write it manually? And how to?
Does anybody tries it?

I tried with the DNS, but no way...log as following:

v41 input error: cannot open device(no such file or directory)
main input error: no suitable access module for "/://http://192.145.197.255/filename.sdp"


...


Return to “VLC stream-output (sout)”
