6.2.3 Multimedia - Streaming Player: RTP Streaming Through VLC
The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is a network protocol for delivering audio
and video over IP networks. RTP is used extensively in communication and
entertainment systems that involve streaming media, such as telephony, video
teleconference applications, television services and Web-based push-to-talk
features.
VIA GO supports RTP. Media can stream on a VIA GO unit, provided the computer
and VIA GO are on connected networks.
To stream RTP using VLC:
1. Open VLC.
2. Click Media > Stream.
3. Click Add and select a file to stream and click Stream.
4. Click Next on the next screen.
5. Choose RTP/MPEG Transport Stream from the New Destination drop down
and click Add.
6. Enter VIA GO unit’s IP address and click Stream.
7. Open VIA GO client and click Features > Multimedia > Streaming Player.
8. Type a name as the URL name.
9. The URL path takes the form: Rtp: //<VIA GO IP address>:5004.
10. Click Add Media.
11. Select the RTSP stream and click the play button to stream this media on
VIA GO.
Note: If a URL is already resent in the streaming list above, VIA client generates a
warning for both modes - RTP and RTSP.
