[vlc] Help with VLM and webcam

[Jim Duda]

I'm struggling to figure out how to get vlc (vlm) to stream from a webcam on 
/dev/videol.  I realize that
I need to transcode, but I cannot seem to figure out how to get it to work.

This is what I do:

new Test vod enable
setup Test input v4l:/dev/video2
setup Test output 
#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128,deinterlace}:rtp{sdp=rtsp://0.0.0.0:554/test.sdp}

When I attempt to use the client:

vlc rtsp://<host>/test.sdp

I get:

[00000262] livedotcom demuxer error: describeURL failed (cannot handle 
DESCRIBE response: RTSP/1.0 404 Not found)

I can see that <host> is listening on port 554.

When I attempt to use an mpg file as input, all seems to work, so I'm close.

Jim
