Streaming UDP to VLC query

Blue Robotics Software BlueOS

I am unsuccessfully attempting to stream a DWE ExploreHD into VLC. The steam works fine into Cockpit.

Below are screen grabs of the stream in BlueOS and the UDP addresses I have tried in VLC.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi @3dMB,

How are you trying to connect to the stream? Are you using the SDP file or link, or just manually typing the endpoint URL?

It may also be helpful to know which BlueOS version you’re running.

Hi @EliotBR

I have tried both the SDP and manually typing the UDP IP in.

BlueOS v1.4.3

@3dMB is RTSP an option for you? If so you can just edit the stream from UDP to RTSP and VLC will most probably work out of the box. Just make sure to use the new RTSP endpoint that will be shown after you change the stream to RTSP.

I changed the steam to RTSP in BlueOS, but it always shows errors
