[Live-devel] [EXTERNAL] Re: VLC and Live555ProxyServer and a 404?

[Spies, Will]

The 401 is the earlier error -- like I said it seems to recover (seems to) as I get HTTP 200's after before running into a 404 via VLC.  I do under VLC is not here -- but as I said VLC works fine with my originating RTSP links just not with the LiveProxy server links. I have multiple URIs that each have different credentials.  My Shell Script looks like:

#!/bin/bash

# Start the proxy server.
live555ProxyServer -V \
"rtsp://user:pwd1@192.168.112.2:554/Sms=3.unicast" \
"rtsp:// user:pwd2 at 192.168.112.2:554/Sms=5.unicast" \
"rtsp:// user:pwd3 at 192.168.112.2:554/Sms=6.unicast" \
"rtsp:// user:pwd4 at 192.168.112.2:554/Sms=7.unicast" \
"rtsp:// user:pwd5 at 192.168.112.2:554/Sms=8.unicast" \
"rtsp:// user:pwd6 at 192.168.112.2:554/Sms=9.unicast" \

openRTSP returns the same 404 LiveProxy returns to VLC in my case:

The "401 Unauthorized” response means that the back-end server is expecting a username+password.  Are you running the proxy server with the 
	-u <username> <password>
option?  See http://live555.com/proxyServer/

Also, in general, when testing you should use “openRTSP” (our command-line RTSP client; see <http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/>) as a front-end RTSP client, before you try using VLC.  (Note that VLC is not our software.)
