MxPEG is an audio and video codec developed by Mobotix.
VLC supports this codec since version 2.0.1 through FFmpeg on Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux.
While mxg video files are auto-detected, live streams require VLC to be run with the option ffmpeg-format=mxg because FFmpeg does not auto-detect the mxg codec in live streams.
Usage Examples
mxg recordings
Simply open the file with VLC.
Live Streams
- Windows:
% vlc.exe --avformat-format=mxg "http://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@<IP>:<PORT>/control/faststream.jpg?stream=MxPEG"
- macOS:
% VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC --avformat-format=mxg "http://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@<IP>:<PORT>/control/faststream.jpg?stream=MxPEG"
- Linux:
% vlc --avformat-format=mxg "http://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@<IP>:<PORT>/control/faststream.jpg?stream=MxPEG"
- GUI:
- Media → Open Network Stream → Show more options. In Edit Options, add ":avformat-format=mxg".
For VLC 2.0.x and older, replace avformat-format with ffmpeg-format.
