mjpeg stream with vlc

[Reiner]

Hello,

I would like my video of an Axis video server streams. I use the following command to it:
vlc -vvv http://192.168.6.90/axis-cgi/mjpg/video ... F&camera=1 --sout='#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=192.168.6.200:1234}}' --ttl 12.

I get as result:
mjpeg demuxer debug: Discard MIME header: Content-Length:16217.

What do I make wrong? I use the vlc under Linux Debian.

Reiner

Hi, instead of http protocol why don't you use the rtsp?
for the rtsp you could use the following parameter

rtsp://192.168.6.90:554/mpeg4/media.amp

I use it for my Axis network cam, on Windows, and it is great.

Rember to set the RTP/RTSP delay, or you will see the video stream after 2/3 seconds.

Regards
Paolo

I also have an Axis camera - I can view mjpg (without the CIF parm that you have).

HOWEVER, I have a 2-3 second delay!

What is the delay parmeter you mentioned?

Is that a VLC parm?

The Axis player is fine (no delay).

[paolo]

go to settings->preferences
Input/Codecs
Demuxers
RTP/RTSP

set it to 80 or 125

and the delay is setting to 80 ms

Moreover, go to SoutStream->Display
and set the delay to 80, if you set this value to 0
it will function not very well

Happy Easter
Paolo

was anyone of you able to transcode video from rtsp stream?
