Multiple streaming through VLC

[alinpopescu23]

I'm trying to stream two youtube videos through VLC on the same port, but with different URLs.
So far I'm trying to use the VLM and connect to VLC through telnet (PUTTY), but without success.

I launch VLC like this:

Code: Select all

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

I launch telnet

Code: Select all

telnet localhost 4212

But telnet doesn't ask me about any password. And when I try to connect to localhost:5554 via another VLC instance, I get this error:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://127.0.0.1:5554'. Check the log for details.

Can you please help me establish the connection between telnet and VLC and between VLC and the streaming server?

Thank you,
Alin

You did not specify to VLC what to stream...

I changed the command of starting VLC to this:

Code: Select all

vlc -I telnet -I qt --intf telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host localhost:5554

Then I connected to it via telnet(PUTTY), but no password request was prompted.
Then I run these commands via telnet, but I get no feedback on their success:

Code: Select all

new channel1 broadcast enabled setup channel1 input https://www.youtube.com/watch?... setup channel1 output #rtp{mux=ts,dst=localhost,port=5554,sdp=sap://,name="Channel1"} control channel1 play

Then I run another VLC instance like this, but with no luck:

Code: Select all

vlc rtsp://localhost:5554/Channel1

This is the error I get:

Code: Select all

Connection failed: VLC could not connect to "localhost:5554". Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://localhost:5554/Channel1'. Check the log for details.

I checked with netstat and nothing was listening on 5554 or on 4212.

Hi,

I finally managed to connect to vlc via telnet. But when I run these commands I get the stream closed immediately.

Code: Select all

Can you tell from the logs what's wrong?
