Vlc socket bind error

Return to “VLC stream-output (sout)”

I have Ubuntu desktop 14.04 with two NIC, eth0 and eth1. One is just for internet and the other one is on local subnet where multicast UDP stream is coming.
Default route is on eth0, and multicast route is on eth1. UDP stream is coming on eth1 and I can see that is here with TCPDUMP on that interface but can’t open it in VLC. In VLC log I can see that VLC can’t open that port or what?
Can someone help me? Is that problem with some user rights or port is closed, or what?
The same stream I can play on other computer with windows. Here is VLC log:

I changed the Multicast port and still can’t open stream that is easy opened on Windows mashine in the same subnet. Here is VLC stream:

main debug: udp://225.224.2.3:3003 is at 0
main debug: starting playback of the new playlist item

And firewall is disabled….

One more update:
On Ubuntu desktop and even on (I have to try)Win 2008 server VLC won’t open udp stream which coming on multicast when two NIC are connected. When is connected just one NIC VLC can play the stream….So the problem is with VLC and two NIC. I assume that VLC doesn’t know on which NIC to look for stream but I don’t know how to resolve this. Any idea???

I didn’t find answer to my problem but can’t wait any more and need to move on to other things to do….So, here is the whole thing: I need to multicast stream which comes on eth1 to forward on eth0 so other computers and students in subnet can see it(connecting mcast stream to router or switch for everyone just mess with network and bandwidth and stream is freezing and pixeling ), (in what ever manner, but best will be as http stream so students can open stream with VLC) First I need to verify that stream is available, and for that I try with Ubuntu desktop and its working with one NIC, but with two no. After to much time without solution I decide to move to server 14.04 and UDPXY. Now I Installed Ubuntu server 14.04, server is joined multicast group, with tcpdump -i I can see that mcast stream is here on eth1, can’t open the stream because it’s server without video card, I installed UDPXY, which is accepting mcast stream on eth1 and client requests on eth0 so they open stream like: http://192.168.2.50:5005/udp/225.224.2.3:3003 I try to open stream in VLC on Windows, and on Linux computer and nothing. The VLC log gives me the same massage like before on Ubuntu desktop.

Even if I changed the whole configuration that’s the same problem…Ubuntu with two NIC can’t open, or forward stream. Is it problem with kernel routing or permissions??? In this case VLC doesn’t have problem to choose on witch NIC to look for stream so it’s have to be with Ubuntu… please help???

Streaming with VLC returns socket bind error (Permission den

Streaming with VLC returns socket bind error (Permission den

Post by ilagi » 03 Aug 2014 02:19

[http] main interface error: socket bind error (Permission denied)

new channel1 broadcast enabled setup channel1 input /tmp/recording40.mkv setup channel1 output #http setup channel1 option http-reconnect setup channel1 option no-sout-rtp-sap option no-sout-standard-sap option ttl=1 option sout-keep control channel1 play

nohup cvlc -Ihttp —file-logging —log-verbose=1 —logfile=»vlc.log» —vlm-conf vlm.conf & echo $! > vlc.pid

As you can see I’m using port 8080, so non-root user should have access to open that port. I have also tried other ports too — no luck. Running cvlc with root doesn’t help either (and that is not recommended by the documentation).

Any ideas why I keep receiving this error?

Re: Streaming with VLC returns socket bind error (Permission

I’m going to answer my own question.

So as it turns out it didn’t matter what port I speficied in the above config file the http port vlc is trying to use is always 8080, where I already had socket.io running.

The only way to change the port is actually by using the —http-port= parameter when calling cvlc:

nohup cvlc -Ihttp —file-logging —log-verbose=1 —logfile=»vlc.log» —http-port=9090 —vlm-conf vlm.conf & echo $! > vlc.pid

My mkv file is still not streaming, but there is no more socket error. And I can telnet in on port 9090.

main interface error: no suitable interface module main libvlc error: interface «globalhotkeys,none» initialization failed

Run as Root to fix Socket Bind Error for VOD?

Run as Root to fix Socket Bind Error for VOD?

Post by thegauntface » 24 Oct 2011 13:21

I’m trying to use VLC as a VOD streaming server, I can run and access the http web interface but when I try to create a VOD media item, I just get the following errors in the console:

[0x10029da38] main interface: creating httpd
[0x1002a6808] main vod server error: socket bind error (Permission denied)
[0x1002a6808] main vod server error: socket bind error (Permission denied)
[0x1002a6808] main vod server error: cannot create socket(s) for HTTP host
[0x1002a6808] vod_rtsp vod server error: cannot create RTSP server ((null):554)
[0x1002a6558] main vlm daemon error: cannot find vod server

It would normally be at this point I would run as root and see if that fixed the issues, however running as root I get asked to use vlc-wrapper :

VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry.
If you need to use real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports
you can use /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC-wrapper (make sure it is Set-UID root and
cannot be run by non-trusted users first).

The issue with this is that VLC-wrapper is that it isn’t in the default VLC install.

Is there a different way to allow the port permissions without root? otherwise where can I get the vlc-wrapper for OS X ?

network stream

network stream

Post by shark95 » 04 Dec 2008 17:18

hi vlc community!

I want to stream just a file (later on a DVB-S channel) on my home network. I use PC with OpenSuse 11.0 with vlc 0.9.6 as a server and a notebook with windows Vista and vlc 0.9.6 as a client. I set up my stream on the server: i select the file i want to stream in vlc streaming options. Then i use RTP-Protocol and type in the IP of the client (in my case 192.168.0.7) and take the default port 1234. If i use the MPEG-2 Codec i get the error:

avcodec error: cannot open encoder
stream_out_transcode error: cannot find video encoder (module:any fourcc:mp2v)

What does that mean and how can i solve this problem?

ok, so i take another codec: I use MPEG-TS with MPEG 4 (videocodec) and MPEG 4 Audio (AAC) (audiocodec). That works (no error).

But if i want to receive the stream on my client i always get this error:

main error: socket bind error (Cannot assign requested address)
main error: no access module matched «rtp»
main error: open of ‘rtp://@192.168.0.3:1234’ failed: could not create access: no module matched «rtp»

The IP addresses and ports are correct, all firewalls on my Systems are disabled, so i don’t know where i can find my mistake. I also tried UDP: same result.

But if i start vlc twice on my OpenSuse System (once as a server, once as a client) and stream the file to the IP 127.0.0.1 it works. Seems that somethings going wrong with my network but i don’t know what. But the connection should be ok, if i try ping i always get good results.

I realy could use to help getting this going. my guess from many years of windows experience, i may be running the folder VOD from the wrong location.

Streaming error: lua interface error

Streaming error: lua interface error

Post by Deep_Blue » 28 Mar 2011 16:08

I’m trying to set up a VOD stream on my server. Its running Ubuntu 10.10 with VLC 1.1.4 (That’s the current version on the repository, and I don’t want to add a sketchy ppa)

I input into the command line
vlc -I telnet —control telnet —telnet-password abc123 —rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554

And I get out
[0xefaef0] [telnet] lua interface: Listening on host «localhost:4212».
Blocked: call to unsetenv(«DBUS_ACTIVATION_ADDRESS»)

It will then just sit there until i issue a kill command. I’ve tried changing the port with —telnet-port, but no luck.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
