VLC rtmp stream address? fd://0

[bhatti00]

hi,

i know this may seem a basic but silly question,

how do i find the rtmp stream for a video that is currently playing in VLC?


it shows the address in VLC is fd://0

i have tried command prompt but that doesnt show the address when i run netstat command

What helper software are you using in the 1st place to get the rtmp stream into vlc ?

By helper software i mean 3rd party like rtmpGUI, rtmp explorer, batch scripts etc.........

Hello,

fd stands for file descriptor, that appears when rtmpdump is piped to VLC.
It's achieved with a command like :

rtmpdump <params> | vlc -

(A FIFO could also be used under Linux.)

and pipe number translates to following:

0 = STDIN
1 = STDOUT
2 = STDERR
