Serving rtsp

[gregfr]

I'm trying to setup rstp as a server ; from the documentation (http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation: ... _HowTo/VLM), I tried:

Code: Select all

vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0 --rtsp-port 554

but vlc doesn't bind to 554, in fact whatever port number I provide, it doesn't bind. Even if I set a bogus or used port, nothing, not even an error message.

How do I trigger vlc to actually bind to the port???

TIA

PS: I tried VLC 2.0.5 on both ubuntu and windows

It seems it has to be a "vod" element, "broadcast" doesn't work?

Both should work. Most probably your system is configured to forbid applications listening to TCP ports.

Probably not
My computer is very clever but not clever enough to allow "vod" and not "broadcast" Firewalls are down on both OSes.
However maybe my understanding of "broadcast" is wrong. Although it's not explicit in the doc I read, it seems to be something like unicast or multicast. I'm thinking that because of the target IP (a server doesn't have a target IP):

Code: Select all

new channel2 broadcast enabled setup channel2 input udp://@239.255.12.42 setup channel2 output #rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2,port=5004,sdp=sap://,name="Channel 2"}

Here the "dst" parameter is not a local bind address, is it?

My goal is to stream a live feed, so I guess "vod" is not the correct setting.

So what is the proper setting to serve a live feed?
