Record RTSP stream

[Coday-meric]

I have been trying for a while to record an RTSP stream with libVLC in python. I have a basic command that works with cvlc, but I am unable to do the same with libVLC.

Here is the cvlc command:

cvlc -I dummy rtsp://admin@192.168.31.56/0/av0 --sout="#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mp3,vb=500,fps=30.0}:std{mux=mp4,dst=test.mp4,access=file}";

Here is where I am with python:

import vlc

rtsp_server = 'rtsp://admin@192.168.31.56/0/av0'
i = vlc.Instance("--sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mp3,vb=500,fps=30.0}:std{mux=mp4,dst=test.mp4,access=file}")
player = i.media_player_new()
player.set_mrl(rtsp_server)
player = vlc.MediaPlayer(rtsp_server)
player.play()

Unable to reproduce the issue ...

import vlc
>>> rtsp = 'rtsp://admin@192.168.31.56/0/av0'
>>> i = vlc.Instance("-sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mp3,vb=500,fps=30.0}:std{mux=mp4,dst=test.mp4,access=file}")
>>> p = i.media_player_new()
>>> p.set_mrl(rtsp)
<vlc.Media object at 0x7fea77332490>
>>> p.play()
0

One problem is that the rstp link/address is a local, non-routable IP address (198.168...) not existing anywhere else.

Thanks you for your response, just a little question. This programme don't record the video in the requested folder and How run this programme but without a graphical interface.
