Streaming SDP - not supported?

videostream.Web,Live TV,MMS,America Free,Action=rtsp://video3.americafree.tv/AFTVAdventureH2641000.sdp

I am unable to stream the above. When I put the above in the web.conf it would not show up, as if it's not supported.
It plays well in VLC, which I am using as both A and V streaming engines.

Thanks.

Same here, I tried url and VLC crashes on my machine. Standalone VLC playbacks .sdp url fine. I even looked at the final destination within the .sdp file, both urls did not work. Known issue VLC standalone is happy but VLC web streaming does not work.

btw, how did you manage to find out .sdp urls from the http://www.americafree.tv channel. Website uses Flash player so videofeed url is a bit tricky to find out.

edit: I made few VLC.exe commandline tests. I have VLC 0.9.8a stable, VLC 0.9.9rc and VLC.0.8.6 stable versions. What I did find is VLC0.8.6 version worked best. I transcoded .sdp url to a mpeg file and was able to get audio but video was missing. Another testurl was mms .wmv but both VLC 0.9.x versions crashed. Oldest one received a netstream and saved files to a file.

Code: Select all

rem set source=mms://mediak.yle.fi/media/areena/1/90/48/1904888_1115732.wmv
set source=rtsp://63.105.122.39:80/AFTVAdventureH2641000.sdp

set VLC=C:\apps\vlc-0.8.6\vlc.exe
rem set VLC=C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe

"%VLC%" -I dummy %source% :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=1024,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst="out.mpeg"}}
pause

So I guess that till the VLC team fixes this there's no luck...
Talking about finding url's foo flash ... boy, am I determined to find that..
Mogulus is another thing that is bugging me.. And it's flash as well, just very well protected.
No trick worked so far...

True, I have few sites wished to have a hidden Flash streaming url but no luck. Quite many flash player uses Adobe proprietary RTMP protocol. I think VLC should support it...yet another story in a web streaming mode

Btw, you should use something like this in web.conf file. Give a proper title and thumbnail values as well. Looks better in XMB menu.

Hi, I am actually using pics/ icons, I jsut did not get to populate all of them yet..
At this time I am just building my library of links.
This is a great program that keeps me so busy...

No perfect, but getting there. It sure needs help from the VLC folks though...
For e.g. TVersity offers a better picture quality when streaming most TV channels.
Just view NRJ in both and see the diff. Big pixelation when using PMS/VLC, not so much when using TVersity.

Cheers.
