Unable to play rtsp under linux

[Mik1269]

I am are not able to play rtsp stream under linux from an IP camera.
The following command line:

vlc 'rtsp://192.168.1.100/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=jpeg&audio=0'

works under Windows but with Ubuntu 8.10 generates the following errors:

[0x9f47cd0] live555 demux error: RTSP PLAY failed PLAY: cannot handle response: RTSP/1.0 400 Bad Request
[0x9f3b5e8] main input error: open of 'rtsp://192.168.1.100/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=jpeg&audio=0' failed: (null)

Any idea ? VLC is version 1.0.2.
Thank you.

You might be bitten by http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=539946

Try the debian package or wait for vlc 1.0.4-1 to arrive in ubuntu

I tryed version 1.0.4-1 but problem remains. To be honest bug 539946 seems to be something different by the problem I have.

It's not a problem with the version of VLC, it's a problem with the version of live555 that VLC was compiled with.

Try:

locale; LANG=C vlc 'rtsp://192.168.1.100/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=jpeg&audio=0'

If it works, then Christophe was right.

Ok, I don't get the same error.
VLC starts ... seems it is buffering ..but after few seconds I get error message:
[0x93f7660] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called
(after about 30 seconds)
Killed
and VLC stops running.

Any other idea ?

Thank you a lot for the help.

Having the same issue with RTSP stream. It works for exactly 2:00-2:17 minutes and then it stops with this error:

Does anyone know why this could be happening?

Thank you!

EDIT:
Found the solution for this particular RTSP stream. It seems like it's streaming from a WMserver so it needs the "--rtsp-wmserver" tag in the command-line. Hope this helps someone!

Thanks for an awesome product!
