Streaming from local computer to server

[grep]

Hello!

I'm trying to stream file from my local computer to server, where i have installed VLC version 0.9.9a Grishenko. I read wiki and FAQ before i write this post, but i don't know what i'm doing wrong.

On server side i use this command to receive and save stream:

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv rtp://@:5004 --sout file/ts:file.mp

On my local computer, i open VLC Media Player -> CTRL + S -> In destinations i select "RTP" , enter IP and port of my server (5004)

Thanks in advance


My log by VLC from server

Code: Select all

Are you trying to stream from your local computer to server, and then have the internet/everyone else connect to your server?

is rtp a must or are you open to trying something different?

Yes, this is what i want to do, but first i just want to send stream from my local computer (Windows XP), does not matter through which protocol (rtp, udp,..) to server (CentOS) where i have installed VLC (withouth UI) and save this stream on server.

Try this if it helps:

vlc -vvv rtp://@<Your Server IP>:5004 --sout file/ts:file.mp

eg:
vlc -vvv rtp://@192.168.10.1:5004 --sout file/ts:file.mp

couple of ways to do it..

this way is pretty basic, but should get you going.

On your computer, with the file you'd like to stream run:

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv INPUTFILE --sout '#standard{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=CENTOSSERVERIP:8000}'

and on the server run this command:

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv udp://@:8000 --sout '#standard{access=file,mux=ts,dst=/outputfile.bla}'

i'm running centos 5.4 with yum installed vlc and doing all sorts of neat stuff. see my sig and site for details.
