Streaming from ALLNET 2200 Cam

[mode]

Hallo,

I've got an Allnet 2200 Cam.
I can grab the VideoStream with eg:
wget http://cam.home/img/video.asf

VLC can play the saved video.asf file from HD.

But VLC is not able not open the stream directly without "grabbing" with a third party programm first.
I tried open the Path: http://cam.home/img/video.asf direktly, but when i press Play nothing happens


What can i do?

Hi, its me again,

The Logfile from VLC says:

Code: Select all

[00000261] main playlist: nothing to play

when i click play

but from the same url a wget can write the stream to hd:

Code: Select all

mode@server:~> wget http://cam.home/img/video.asf --02:09:27-- http://cam.home/img/video.asf => `video.asf' Auflösen des Hostnamen »cam.home«.... 192.168.0.50 Verbindungsaufbau zu cam.home[192.168.0.50]:80... verbunden. HTTP Anforderung gesendet, warte auf Antwort... 200 OK Länge: nicht spezifiziert [application/octet-stream] [ <=> ] 2,033,839 117.81K/s mode@server:~> ls -lh video.asf -rw-r--r-- 1 mode root 2,0M 2005-08-07 02:09 video.asf

what can cause this?

Please report full debug logging.

launch vlc with -vvv from commandline, or open the messages window before you start try to open the stream.

There is simply no output when i open the stream

Dear all,

I ran into a problem that was was already brought up some time ago.
As the original poster was not able to provide debug output, there was no answer.
I attached the output for my case using VLC version 1.1.5 below and hope somebody can help me find a solution.

All, does anyone in this forum have a clue on this topic?
Please let me know if additional information is necessary for analysis.

Hello, allnet 2200 users.

I had the same problems. Looking carefully through the debug messages, it looked as if the demux/codec gave up because of missing data.
As a captured file plays OK, I suspected VLC gave up too early.

I got it to work using the following command line

Code: Select all

vlc --http-caching=500 --start-time=0.1 http://camera/img/video.asf

I do not know if this is a solution or a hack.
