[vlc] streaming problems using rtsp & videolan client 0.8.2 on FC4

[Agarwal, Yuvraj]

Hi all, 


After trying a number of different VLC and linux distributions 
I finally was able to install VLC 0.8.2 on FC4 (satisfy all dependencies


I have installed vlc [videolan-client-0.8.2-3.2.fc4.i386.rpm] from the
site:

http://stentz.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=426 

 

I tried to use VLC to play some local mp4 files and it was able to play
them. 
When I tried to use vlc to play an RTSP stream I ran into problems. Any
help
/advice that you can give would be very appreciated !

 

I am running a darwin rtsp streaming server on another machine. 

I am able to successfully stream using a windows based quicktime 
client from the same Darwin server. 





Unfortunately I am unable to use vlc to see the rtsp stream from my
Fedora Core 4 machine. 

I get the following error when I issue a :

 

[root at localhost ~]# vlc rtsp://122.23.43.45:554/clonewar384k.mp4

 

VLC media player 0.8.2 Janus

[00000260] main input error: no suitable access module for
`rtsp://122.23.43.45/clonewar384k.mp4'

[00000253] main playlist: nothing to play

[00000268] main input error: no suitable access module for
`rtsp://122.23.43.45:554/clonewar384k.mp4'

[00000253] main playlist: nothing to play

[00000253] main playlist: stopping playback

[root at localhost ~]#

 

 

what do I need to install to be able to play an rtsp stream ? 

if there is a different version of vlc which has this vlc support built
in

please let me know where to download it ? 

 

Any advice would be much appreciated. 

thanks

Yuvraj
