This example shows how to transcode an RTSP-stream to HTTP-stream (MJPEG) with VLC. rtsp://mycameraip -> http://myserverip It might be a suitable solution if there's a need to embedd an rtsp-stream from a cctv-camera to a web-page and this web-page will be used by a wide range of devices (LG WebOS TVs for example). The following line taskkill /f /im 'vlc.exe' is neccessary if you need an ability to restart the streams with this batch file The part of uri /streaming/channels/2/preview is specific for Hikvision cameras.Access the http-streams like that: http://127.0.0.1:9911 For external access change 127.0.0.1 to the address of the server (or PC) you are running VLC on. Your server's ports you are using for streaming (9911 from current example) must be open for external access. |
Probably something is misconfigured in some other part of you infrastructure. Host any static resource on this machine & port and check whether or not you're able to access it |
Hi @JonesTwink, How can i use VLC commandline to steam a RTSP to HTTP in Ubuntu linux OS? |
Hi, Many thanks! RSTP TO HTTP stream works great! but, Is it possible to add username and pw to the http stream? like http://username:password@hostname:port/ At vlc help page: --sout-http-user= Username User name that will be requested to access the stream. --sout-http-pwd= Password Password that will be requested to access the stream. But i can't figure out how to add those lines, thanks! |
@JonesTwink I'm having problems with the feeds progressively getting slower and I believe the result is VLC not skipping frames if it gets behind. Do you know how to adjust this behavior? I'd appreciate any insight that you can provide! |
