Subject: ports blocked ... need help
I’m working on a little app that connects to an RTSP server to stream video files.

The work is being done inside of a Parallels 8 VM on Mac OS X (latest version). (A MacBook Pro.)

I have a Windows XP (SP3) VM and just created a Win 7 VM.

I loaded VLC into both OS X and inside of the VMs. VLC does open and stream video channels in all cases.

However, when I try running or debugging my app inside of either VM, I get a socket error when it tries to open the connection. (The port is usually 554.)

I also loaded up the dev environment on a Win 7 laptop, and everything works just fine there, too.

So my tentative conclusion is there may be a port blocked between the VM and the Host. But the fact that VLC runs inside of the VM suggests otherwise.


On a related note, I installed Darwin on my Mac laptop (OS X) and while it seems to have launched ok, I cannot seem to stream from it. I can connect to it, but nothing is streamed out.

The console URL is at: http://127.0.0.1:1220, so I assume I connect to it at the same IP address but port 554. Is this correct? (maybe rtsp://127.0.0.1:554/<file_to_stream>)

Thanks!
