Hi,
If you have media files already in the media folder of the EMS, you can play them directly using VLC or other player by opening the URI "rtmp://ems_ip/vod/mp4:filename.mp4". Replace "filename" with the actual filename, and "ems_ip" with the IP of the EMS server.
If you have a live stream pushed into EMS by an encoder, you can play the stream directly using VLC or other player by opening the URI "rtmp://ems_ip/live/streamname" (for live playback) or "rtmp://ems_ip/vod/streamname" (for VOD playback). Replace "streamname" with the pushed stream name, and "ems_ip" with the IP of the EMS server.
If you have a live stream from elsewhere, you can use the EMS to pull the stream using the "pullstream" command, then use VLC or other player to open the URI "rtmp://ems_ip/live/streamname" (for live playback) or "rtmp://ems_ip/vod/streamname" (for VOD playback). Replace "streamname" with the pulled stream name, and "ems_ip" with the IP of the EMS server.
Cheers,
Don
