I'm trying to create an application aggravating multiple RTSP's for use in a mobile app. The idea is that i run a simple WPF app on Windows PC connected to IP cameras at home and a xamarin app connects to it. I want the WPF program to relay needed RTSP to an app on request, but to do this i'm at a loss. I learned how to receive streams both on windows and the android app, but i'm looking for a way to forward a stream received by windows app into the android one.
From what I've found out lurking on the internet, there is a way to stream using VLC library: How to streaming video via VLC api in C#
But I have no idea on how to stream from another stream instead of a file.
This is what I've got - simple display of RTSP on an app:
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Serwer"
xmlns:wpf="clr-namespace:LibVLCSharp.WPF;assembly=LibVLCSharp.WPF"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="650" Width="800">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0">Placeholder for settings</Label>
<Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1">Placeholder for more streams</Label>
<Label Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1"></Label>
<wpf:VideoView x:Name="VideoView" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"/>
</Grid>
</Window>
This is the code behind XAML:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
namespace Serwer
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
const string VIDEO_URL = "rtsp://wowzaec2demo.streamlock.net/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov";
readonly LibVLC _libvlc;
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
// this will load the native libvlc library (if needed, depending on the platform).
Core.Initialize();
// instantiate the main libvlc object
_libvlc = new LibVLC();
VideoView.MediaPlayer = new LibVLCSharp.Shared.MediaPlayer(_libvlc);
VideoView.MediaPlayer.Play(new Media(_libvlc, VIDEO_URL, FromType.FromLocation));
}
}
}

Okay, I managed to finally find the list of commands and use them properly. Turns out I fell in love with LibVLC. :D
Here's the link descripting various commands : https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Streaming_HowTo/Advanced_Streaming_Using_the_Command_Line/#rtp
And here is how I've done the code:
using LibVLCSharp.Shared;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
namespace Serwer
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
const string VIDEO_URL = "rtsp://wowzaec2demo.streamlock.net/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov";
readonly LibVLC _libvlc;
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent(); // this will load the native libvlc library (if needed, depending on the platform).
Core.Initialize(); // instantiate the main libvlc object
_libvlc = new LibVLC();
VideoView.MediaPlayer = new LibVLCSharp.Shared.MediaPlayer(_libvlc);
var rtsp1 = new Media(_libvlc, VIDEO_URL, FromType.FromLocation); //Create a media object and then set its options to duplicate streams - 1 on display 2 as RTSP
rtsp1.AddOption(":sout=#duplicate" +
"{dst=display{noaudio}," +
"dst=rtp{mux=ts,dst=192.168.0.110,port=8080,sdp=rtsp://192.168.0.110:8080/go.sdp}"); //The address has to be your local network adapters addres not localhost
VideoView.MediaPlayer.Play(rtsp1);
VideoView1.MediaPlayer = new LibVLCSharp.Shared.MediaPlayer(_libvlc);
VideoView1.MediaPlayer.Mute=true;
VideoView1.MediaPlayer.Play(new Media(_libvlc, "rtsp://192.168.0.110:8080/go.sdp", FromType.FromLocation));
}
}
}
Thanks cube for pointing me in the right direction!
