[streaming] transcoding h.264 to MJPEG under Linux

Hi,
I am trying to transcode a H.264 Stream (via RTSP) from my IP Cam to a
MJPEG Stream (via HTTP), so that I can easily
view the stream in many Browsers / Devices without the need of PlugIns,
Apps and so on...
Now I have several problems...
When I run (under windows):
*
**vlc rtsp://192.168.10.254:8554/proxyStream-1
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=MJPG,vb=800,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http{mime=multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=--7b3cc56e5f51db803f790dad720ed50a},mux=mpjpeg,dst=:8080/mjpeg}}**/
/*
I can view the MJPEG stream in my browser like expected
Issuing the same command under linux (ubuntu 13, Kernel
3.8.0-19-generic) throws the following errors and outputs therefor no
stream...:
custodia at vigilia:~$ *cvlc -vvv rtsp://192.168.10.254:8554/proxyStream-1
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=MJPG,vb=800,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http{mime**
**=multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=--7b3cc56e5f51db803f790dad720ed50a},mux=mpjpeg,dst=:8080/mjpeg}}

What am I missing?
Next Question....:
the rtsp URL from my IP Cam contains ampersands and question mark to
supply parameters... unfortunately vlc seems to have problems, when the
url contains
such characters... the only way to get this working (under linux...
windows gui has no problems) was to use live555 as a proxy... I tried
wrapping in double quote, single quotes etc....
nothing helped... the "original url" for the h.264 stream of the camera is:
rtsp://user:password@ip-addr:554/cam/realtimemonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
thank you for reading and maybe giving the solution(s).
regards,
yves
