HTTP Secured Streaming - How To???

[SteveCZ]

Hello guys,
I'd like to setup streaming via http (in Windows) and to use its parameters user and pwd. But because I'm a beginner in VLC I don't now, where should I write them. I tried the following command:

Code: Select all

vlc video.avi :sout=#std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.2:8080,user=myuser,pwd=password}

but it doesn't work.

What is the correct syntax? Where should be the parameters placed correctly?
And finally, how can I such a stream open in VLC? Where will I write these parameteres for playing this video?

Thanks for your answers in advance.

Hey guys, no one knows where to write the appropriate parameteres?:-)

s/:sout=/--sout/

I don't understand your replay at all.

I can't believe that anyone hasnt' tried that and no one knows the answer...

[revolunet]

believe it or not but i think VLC doesn't provide any http auth mecanism for streaming (unlike http admin).

a workaround could be to proxify this stream which an Apach ReverseProxy which handles the auth mecanism...

Rémi meant you should replace ':sout=' with '--sout', so try:
vlc video.avi --sout=#std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.2:8080,user=myuser,pwd=password}

OK, but what are the parameters http pwd and user for? It is in documnetation..
Look at: http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation: ... mmand_Line and find 2nd occurance of the word "http".

Thanks

for ssbssa: when i use -- instead of : it is the same:-(

[SteveCZ]

I'm starting to think those parameters are of no use....

'user' and 'pwd' parameters is not accepted by 'std'. It is accepted by 'http' access_output module.
For input it is specified in url.
See example

Code: Select all

new ch1 broadcast enabled setup ch1 input ../1.avi setup ch1 output #std{access=http{user=myuser,pwd=password},mux=ts,dst=192.168.0.14:8080} new ch2 broadcast enabled setup ch2 input http://myuser:password@192.168.0.14:8080 control ch1 play control ch2 play
