You have to add a callback to wait for the end, block your thread on a semaphore and release it in the callback.

check these functions:

Hi,

Is 10.0.0.1 the address of your player? RTP works by opening a port on your client and waiting for the server to send you packets on this port.

RTP address are usually something like rtp://my.ip.add.ress:port/

rtp://10.0.0.1:5100/Video2 is the address from where I have to receive the Live stream in VLC.But I am Not able to do that.
I already open the port No 5100 and I also tried with the format rtp://@:5100\Video2 but it is also not working?

How is your streamer configured?

either it sends you the stream in unicast (or broadcast) to your player (then you can use rtp://@:5100)
or it sends the stream to a multicast address (ie: 239.0.0.1), then you should put rtp://239.0.0.1:5100/
