[vlc-devel] Make and run VLC in Ubuntu to play RTSP stream

Tue Sep 20 22:08:25 CEST 2011

I apologize if this is a double post I'm having email issues...

I'm trying to follow the instruction to make and install vlc on linux.  (I'm
running Ubuntu 11.04).  I have gotten VLC to install and I can play the BBB
.mov file with it, but I can't get VLC to play an RTSP stream( A stream that
plays with the released version).  I turned on logging, but it's not helping
this newb figure out what is wrong...

As an aside I have yet to find a ./configure statement online or through the
wiki that is up to date they all seem to have invalid statements.  Is there
a list of the
options that are used to build the released versions of VLC?

This is what I used.

./configure --enable-live555

Here is the logging.  The error that I see makes it look as though I didn't
put in a URL but I did put in a URL of rtsp://10.1.1.1/stream which is a
valid stream confirmed by the release version of VLC.

Thanks for any help in advance.
