[vlc-devel] New Serivces Discovery Module for Onvif Cameras

[Stephen Rhodes]

Hello All,

I have developed a services_discovery module for VLC that will find ip
cameras on the local network that are onvif compatible using udp
broadcast.  It includes a setting for a default username and password on
the preferences panel.  This can be very useful for those who like to use
VLC to work with ip cameras, as it will no longer be necessary to manually
input the RTSP string.

Three files are attached that are placed into the
modules/services_discovery folder,  onvifdisc.c, onvif.c and onvif.h.  Some
modification to the Makefile.am is required as well.  It has dependency on
libxml2 and nettle.

I'm hoping this module can be added to the official VLC distribution.  It
has been well tested against a variety of cameras including

HIKVISION, DAHUA, AXIS, SUNBA, AMCREST, SPECO, TRENDNET, REOLINK, FOSCAM,
UTALENT, VIVOTEK, HIKAM

Thank you for your consideration,

Stephen Rhodes
