0.8.5 VLM control VOD NATTING?

Postby Guest » 12 Dec 2005 08:21

Hello

thanks for making a great product. I have been working with 0.8.4 and everything has been as advertised. I am trying to setup VOD from my home PC which runs through an isp's cable modem. When I reference anything on my home network form out side I always use the address of the cable modem and then have my linksys cable router forward those requests to the correct pc on my home network.

I setup up the VOD and give it a source and all is well. but when I try to access it from outside my home network I get thisfrom my client outside the network:

main debug: creating new input thread
main debug: waiting for thread completion
main debug: `rtsp://24.254.200.149:8020/vid' gives access `rtsp' demux `' path `24.254.200.149:8020/vid'

The 144.235.1.102 is the internal address and

24.254.200.149 is the address of the cable modem

I see this

o=- 154380121742 1 IN IP4 144.235.1.102
t=0 0
a=tool:vlc 0.8.5-svn-20051212-0000
c=IN IP4 0.0.0.0
which looks like and LDAP hierarchy. I suppose the client asks for 24.254.200.149 and then is returned by VLM with 144.235.1.102 and gets confused. The RTSP is bound to 144.235.1.102 and not on 24.254.200.149. Is there a way to change the o= to the cable modems address. Not sure if that is the way to go.

I started vlm at the command line using the cable modems address and I was not able to create any broadcast or vod objects.

Anyway thanks for all your hard work. I was surprised to see the VLM manager in the wx interface NICE!!! When will it be complete?

VOD Primer

Postby Grumpa » 12 Dec 2005 11:17

Joe McCaffrey: Greetings. Would you consider putting together a simple "How-To VOD From Home" primer when you are up and running. I for one am frustrated trying to get VOD to work from home - maybe I can't. For me the existing "how-to's" are too verbose, seem to require a lot of background, somewhat beyond using the GUI. and difficult to translate into simple steps. If you can find the time, and have the inclination I am sure it would be appreciated. Thank you.

VLC VoD server does not yet support RTP over RTSP which you need when you are behind a NAT'ed IP address.
Don't use PMs for support questions.

Any ideas DJ. I am stumped at this point. I am using a .wmv file as the source for the vod.

ALL
as soon as I get the process down I will be happy to post an easy how to in laymans term.

hi,

i had the same errors ( i.e. main error: no suitable access module for 'rtsp://****' )
using vlc on freebsd and solved it by reinstalling the graphic libraries (wx-gtk).
i hope it helps
