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

[Ross Finlayson]

Critical Thinking 101: Begin your testing with a simple example.  Only when you have your simple example working should you move on to more complex examples.

1/ Start with a single ‘back end’ rtsp:// URL (not six!).  Can you play this URL directly using VLC (i.e., without any proxy server)?  If not, then stop there.  (If you can’t play a “rtsp://“ URL directly, then you will never be able to do so using a proxy server.)

2/ Begin by running “live555ProxyServer” using this single “rtsp://“ URL - i.e.,
	live555ProxyServer -V rtsp://user:password@IPAddress/streamName
or
	live555ProxyServer -V -u user password rtsp://IPAddress/streamName

3/ Can you play the resulting proxy stream?
