[vlc] Streaming from VLC to Quicktime

[allamistakeo18 at mac.com]

Hi, 

I got a bit further, using RTSP. I launched VLC with the following command: 

/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -vvv -I dummy (input stream) --sout='#transcode{vcodec=mp1v,vb=1024}:rtp{mux=ts,dst=myip,port=8080,name=test.sdp,sdp=rtsp://myip:8081/test.sdp}'

Then, using the GUI, VLC is perfectly able to open and read the stream at the following URL: 

rtsp://myip:8081/test.sdp

But when I try to open the stream with Quicktime, it successfully connects, but does not display any video nor audio. 

Thanks for your help

I get the following MRL:
