I am streaming audio from a linux server (192.168.0.10) to a headless client using ffmpeg.

ffmpeg -i INPUT -acodec libmp3lame -ar 11025 --f rtp rtp://192.168.0.100:1234

On the headless client, I am trying to play the stream using vlc on the commandline.

cvlc rtp://192.168.0.10:1234

I get an error 

inhibit interface error: Failed to connect to the D-Bus session daeon: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11

  • Where are you trying to play the stream? Your receiving machine is headless! That is why you get this error. What are you trying to do here? – Michael Hampton Dec 02 '18 at 20:12
  • I rarely had a good experience with `cvlc` which is a headless/console VLC variant. Try using `mplayer` or `mpv` as both do great in headless mode. – hargut Dec 02 '18 at 20:21

I installed ffmpeg on the client and am now using ffplay without a display like this:

ffplay -nodisp rtp://192.168.0.10:1234
