vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--rtsp-tcp'

Post by trumee »

Hello,

I am running 1.34.23-bionic1 from Ubuntu iconnor PPA. The camera i am trying to use is Wyze Cam V2 running RTSP firmware. The camera works with FFMPEG but is unstable. Following the note in the wiki, I want to use libvlc for this camera.

Unfortunately, the camera does not start using libvlc. The cli shows this

Code: Select all

$sudo -u www-data zmc -m 3
vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--rtsp-tcp'
Try `vlc --help' for more information.

Is there anyway to get rtsp-tcp in Ubuntu Bionic?

Thanks
