Cannot play UDP stream in VLC media player

[frano_ri]

Hello,
I have VLC media player 2.1.3 and trying to get UDP video stream from my IP camera.

Camera is sending video to my PC (169.254.1.90) on dedicated port (62596). I can see the stream in Wireshark, but if I set network stream URL in VLC to udp://@0.0.0.0:62596 I am still not receiving anything in VLC.
I am on Windows 7, and UDP port 62596 is opened in firewall. Attached is part of wireshark log, together with VLC log.

I appreciate any help. Thanks!

2.1.3 is old.

I have updated to latest version - 2.2.4 and I still can't get the stream. Errors are now a bit different. Under default VLC preferences I get this log output:

If I explicitly say in preferences to use H264 video demuxer - Advanced preferences > Input/Codecs > Demuxers
then I get only one message saying:

Code: Select all

h264 error: this doesn't look like a H264 ES stream, continuing anyway

even though camera streams in H264 - checked and confirmed on camera.
