Telnet Interface

[minataur]

How should i start and receive a stream using the rtsp module in telnet???

This is what i tried:

vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host 192.168.2.12:5554

vlc rtsp://192.168.2.12:5554/Test

these i think are for receiving the stream but i have no clue how to start one using rtsp.. can anyone help me out??

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan rtsp://192.168.2.12:5554/Test

I have a simmilar problem....
I want to use my VLC server to listen for incoming stream, from other location [ all use VLC player ]. On server, i dont have user interface, just command line.
To start listening, i use this command

vlc -vvv rtp://@:1234

This is what output i get

Then i go to my local computer, go to Media -> Streaming -> I choose file i want to stream -> Use RTP protocol -> For ootput stream i enter IP of my server and port 1234, and when i want to start streaming, i get this error....



I have opened port 1234 on server firewall...

Can you please help me.... i must set up this server till Thursday.
Thank you!

EDIT: Yes, i have insatlled │ │ [X] LIVEMEDIA Support for rstp/rtp/sdp protocols │ │

The server is simply not receiving any packet. This is a network configuration problem, not a VLC issue. And please don't hijack threads.

The command

Code: Select all

vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host 192.168.2.12:5554

just starts the telnet interface , telnet password and the rtsp host. But you are yet to set or start a stream.


Considering 192.168.2.12 is the interface on the system where you have vlc installed and the media/video files you want to stream, here's what you'd do on a Windows system at the command prompt

Code: Select all

cd c:\progra~1\videolan\vlc vlc.exe -I dummy --dummy-quiet --extraintf telnet --telnet-password videolan --control telnet --rtsp-host 192.168.2.12:5554

Once the vlc daemon is started you'd log onto the vlc tenet interface. I'd use Putty as windows telnet seems to have some issues with my setup.
You telnet into 192.168.2.12:4212. It prompts you to type in the password which you've set to "videolan". Once you type in the password you get the vlc telnet prompt. This is where you are gonna configure all your media streams - broadcasts, schedules and video-on-demand. I usually go for video on demand as it serves my purpose better.

Code: Select all

new vod_rocky_vi vod enabled input d:\movies\rocky_vi.avi

That's all there is to starting a VOD stream with vlc. You can now use an rtsp client like vlc itself with vlc.exe rtsp://192.168.2.12:5554/vod_rocky_vi to view the movie. What I like about vod is you can go forward and backward in the stream unlike broadcasts and schedules. Cheers

[minataur]

to create a VOD object, first open a new console after starting the telnet as mentioned earlier, there type
"telnet server 4212"
where server is the streaming server and 4212 the port on which the telnet starts..


Then type the command for creating the VOD object as told in the last post

[minataur]

main demux error: object is not attached


While trying to attach a VOD object to the VLC telnet, this the error i'm getting,

Can any1 help me out pls

[minataur]

Thanks for the help guys

Hi, I have been successfully followed the indication of this post. But I have another related question (and I didn't find the answer in the Wiki).
Is there any way to "share" on-demand video for a complete folder instead of share video file, one per one?

Reading this post, it seems to share rocky_vi.avi file, I should execute:
new vod_rocky_vi vod enabled input d:\movies\rocky_vi.avi

but if I would like to share tens of avi files ina folder, is there any command to do it instead of executing the commented command for each file? I am looking for some kind of dynamic sharing of streaming video.

Thanks in advance,

Chemi.

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

not currently

[chemi]

Thanks for answering. I understand there is also no current solution using other pieces like VLM, right?
BTW, is there any plan in development to implement such feature for short term?

Once again, thanks a lot.

Chemi.

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

We won't know until someone has done it, so such question is kind of pointless.

[chemi]

Well, I thought that could be a Development Plan....

Anyway, I found at: http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-h ... /ch05.html that a configuration file with a list of commands could be provided to VLM so perhaps this could be a workaround. I can develop a process that analyze the movie directories and generate a configuration file. Then, it starts or restarts VLC. What do you think? Any other idea?

Regards,

Chemi.

Hey go to command prompt and try to do the following....

c:\telnet localhost 4212

This will start telnet interface for vlc(before this u need to open vlc player and then View-->Add Interface-->Telnet Interface)

Now the telnet interface wil prompt u for the password...

Type "admin"(default password for telnet interface)

Then paste the following commands (by making suitable modifications in the command)

new myChannel2 broadcast
setup myChannel2 option vvv
setup myChannel2 option I
setup myChannel2 option rc
setup myChannel2 input D:\main\personal\movies\Gests.avi
setup myChannel2 output #transcode{venc=x264{keyint=2,idrint=2},vcodec=h264,vb=300,width=320,height=240,acodec=mp4a,ab=32,channels=2,samplerate=22050}
setup myChannel2 output #rtp{dst=localhost,port=9010,sdp=file://C:\Pass1.sdp}
setup myChannel2 enabled
control myChannel2 play


Here at input give your desired input file (at output try for 127.0.0.1 or your machines ip)
where myChannel is the Channel for this particular stream....

now put this in the Darwin's movie folder and then request rtsp:\\<ip>:554/pass1.sdp

Then u can stream....

i Think this post is useful......

[jpspereira]

How can I have a fade between movies with that kind of connection?

I have added like that:

new myChannel1 broadcast
setup myChannel1 input D:\main\personal\movies\Gests1.avi input D:\main\personal\movies\Gests2.avi input D:\main\personal\movies\Gests3.avi
control myChannel1 play

But, between videos VLC destroy his window and start a new one.

(Note: Every video have the same size and resolution)

Anyone could help me, please?

Thanks a lot.

[chinnaedu]

can you be more clear about wat exactly you are talking about

[jpspereira]

Well... I can see my wallpaper between movies... and I don't want that!

Thx
