"connection failed: connection refused by peer" when trying to see the stream using vlc

[cidit]

Im very new to this whole streaming thing so any help would be apreciated (ಥ _ ಥ)

issue

here is my code, copy pasted from the example

import RtspServer from 'rtsp-streaming-server'

const server = new RtspServer({
    serverPort: 5554,
    clientPort: 6554,
    rtpPortStart: 10000,
    rtpPortCount: 10000
});

async function run (): Promise<void> {
    try {
        await server.start();
        console.log("server started")
    } catch (e) {
        console.error(e);
    }
}

run();

here is the command i use to produce my stream. again, pretty much copy pasted from the example

ffmpeg -i bbb.mp4 -c:v copy -f rtsp rtsp://127.0.0.1:5554/stream1 (bbb is big buck bunny)

here is the error i get in the logs when trying to connect via using vlc

steps to reproduce

• run the typescript above with ts-node
• launch the command
• open VLC
• open the Media > Open network stream panel
• enter rtsp://127.0.0.1:6554/stream1.mp4 for the network url
• press play

to see the error i presented above, you must enable the logs in VLC

• open the Tools > Preferences panel
• check "All" in the "Show settings" box at the bottom left of the panel
• navigate to Advanced > Logger
• check "log to file", chose a file on your computer
• reboot VLC to apply the changes

Thank you for your time!

update! the command to produce the stream made the stream 30x faster for some reason. has been changed to ffmpeg -re -i bbb.mp4 -vcodec libx264 -f rtsp rtsp://127.0.0.1:5554/stream1

another update! tried the same setup without VLC (using ffplay like in the example) and it seems to work. the issue seems to be with vlc. since the problem is out of scope, i am closing the issue
