I am trying to stream using rtp but am fairly confused on the syntax needed for the command line interface. I tried to stream a file using the following syntax, and nothing happens. Possibly I am misunderstanding what is going on or how to make correct syntax

to stream i do this, and get nothing, not even an error message.
vlc -vvv input_stream --sout '#rtp{dst=192.168.1.103,port1234,sdp=file://c:\house.avi}'

and to recieve i am not sure what to put i place of the part that says rtsp://server.example.org/8080.sdp

vlc rtsp://server.example.org:8080/test.sdp

Also, I am wanting to create a player in a java jframe to play a stream from the first command line above. Is it possible to do this?

Thanks for your help in advance.
