VLC unable to open RTSP from IP Cam

Hi @toxicafunk,

From this page:

First launch the vlc:

vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554

where:

  • 12 is the value of the TTL (Time To Live) of your IP packets (which means that the stream will be able to cross 11 routers).
  • telnet launches the telnet interface of the vlc.
  • videolan is the password to connect to the telnet interface.
  • 0.0.0.0 is the host address.
  • 5554 is the port on which you stream.

Then connect to the vlc telnet interface and create the vod object:

new Test vod enabled

setup Test input my_video.mpg

You can access to the stream with:

vlc rtsp://server:5554/Test

where server is the address of the streaming server (IP or DNS)

If you already did this, I apologize. It wasn’t clear from your OP.
