How to run vlc stream in background on raspbian?












0














I'm having trouble launching a command line in background. The command I'm trying tu run in background is :



raspivid -o - -t 0 -n | cvlc -vvv stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554/cam}' :demux=h264


It's running on raspbian stretch lite on a Raspberry 2. It works fine when I leave the terminal open... I can access the stream with a VLC client. But of course, I can't keep the terminal open.



I tried to add a & at the end of the command line (I read it runs the command in background) but I still see all the logs at the screen and I don't have the hand on the terminal.



I also tried to had the command in the /etc/rc.local file but I don't know if the command worked (I don't know where the logs for vlc are) But since I can't open the stream on a VLC client, I suppose it didn't work as expected.
