unable to play file at Darwin streaming server using rtsp://

[sanjay417]

Hi All,
I am sorry if it is not the correct place for posting this message.
I have installed Darwin streaming server on a linux machine (ip address : 192.168.3.171, port 1220.) it is accessible using http://192.168.3.171:1220/ from any other machine in the LAN. I can play .mp4,.mov, 3gp file fom other windows machine using quick player, realplayer using rtsp://192.168.3.171/sample.mp4[,mov,.3gp] successfully.

I wanted to play these files from Linux machine in the LAN so I installed VLC media player on my machine(FC 6 Linux).
I tried playing .mp3, .mov,mp4 & 3gp file locally on my system using VLC media player and I am able to play it. When I am trying to play from darwin streaming server using rtsp protocol, I am unable to play.
I tried to play from my system using :
$vlc -vvv rtsp://192.168.3.171:1220/sample_100kbit.mov
then getting the following log:

Hi Sanjay,

I faced similar problem while trying to play in VLC the sample files hosted on the Darwin server. I tried playing all the files available on the server. Found that *.mov doesnot play on VLC over RTSP. *.mp4 plays well in VLC over RTSP from the Darwin server. This was what worked for me.
