[x264-devel] Cant open x264 raw files in vlc in Ubuntu version 9.04

[Ivan Alen Fernandez]

Hello finally i was able to play locally in vlc the files .264 with the
option demux --h264. Also Mplayer opens them locally correctly.
I have a rtsp server that provides the client with .264 files but neither
mplayer or vlc are able to communicate with the servers. Do you know how
to read in a video player like vlc or mplayer streaming of .264 files???
Do you know which could be my problem?
Here is the output of mplayer, maybe it is related to the fact that
implements rtsp with LIVE555 support and live555 doesnt work with .264
files

 mplayer rtsp://10.0.2.15:8554/britney.264
MPlayer SVN-r29964-4.3.3 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team
