RTP reception / SDP initialization

Hi all,

I'd like to listen an RTP stream with VLC. There is only one video channel, the payload type is 96 / MP4V-ES

My problem is there is no RTSP server, so VLC is not able to initialize the decoder using SDP.

Is there a way to force VLC to listen a RTP stream with a specified decoder ?

thanks
Mike

I will explain a little bit more my problem.
I am developping a directshow rtp render filter and I'd like to use VLC to test my filter.

I am a beginner in RTP / use of VLC.
I develop my filter with the help of the RTP's RFCs.

For the moment I have no RTSP server neither SAP server.

I'd like to know if it's possible to force vlc to understand a RTP stream using a local SDP (command line or file) instead of using a RTSP server or SAP anouncer.

any advices would be appreciated
thanks
Mike

I am very disappointed that nobody can give me an answer :( .

My Directshow RTP filter, streams a MPEG4 video stream without encapsulation, that's why VLC does not understand it.
To test my filter I developped a SAP server which multicasts the SDP informations.
With this SAP server and the help of VLC and his SAP announcer service, I am able to test my rtp filter. This works fine.

Now I'd like to know if there's a way to initialize VLC using a SDP file instead of the SAP announcer service ?

VLC can open an SDP file directly as well.
