ERROR : TS Demuxer : Cannot Peek

[Lord Ax]

Hello !

I need some help about a problem I can't solve with VLC.
I'm from France and I work in a research center.
I appologize for my English.

I'm actually trying to capture video from a remote (WIFI) camera and save it in a file in AVI format.
I eliminated all sources of trouble about the camera itself and the connection but I still can't get the Video Stream.

I'm very restricted since I use a light version of Hardy Heron, on a small embedded computer. I just can use command lines and bash.

I use the following command :

Code: Select all

vlc --sout '#duplicate{dst=std{acces=http,mux=ts,dst=127.0.0.1:1234}}' http://root:root@192.168.1.120/axcis-cgi/video.cgi?resolution=320x280

(The very last part of the command is the address and the "log-in informations" of the video on the camera.)

And I receive this error message :

ts demuxer : cannot peek

What does it mean ?

I looked for such an error in the whole MAN VLC, the user guide, the FAQs and the Wiki and I even didn't find anything about "peeking".

What is it ? By what is this kind of error caused ?

Thank you for your help !

Add "-vvv" argument to get full logs.

Thank you for your help thannoy !

After enabling the ultraverbose option, I found a problem in the adress where I was getting my videos.

I now use the good one (I can see my video flux from the graphic interface of VLC on an other computer) but in order to make some tests, I need to save the stream I catch as a .AVI file, and still in command lines.

How must I change this command to make it properly :

Code: Select all

vlc --sout '#duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst="/home/radarr/video/record.avi"}}' rstp://root:root@192.168.1.120/mpeg4/1/media.amp

I used this command and tried to change a few options to optain my "record.avi" file but with no success.

What do I do bad ? Are there incompatible options ?

- Mixing AVI and TS sounds weird to me. Try to record to a .ts file.
- mixing access=http and dst=/home/foo is even more weird. access=file looks more suitable for what you are looking for.

Maybe Documentation:Streaming_HowTo will help you.


Just for your information, bellow is the same as your given line but shorter:

Code: Select all

vlc --sout '#std{access=http,mux=ts,dst="/home/radarr/video/record.avi"}' rstp://root:root@192.168.1.120/mpeg4/1/media.amp
