How to play wowza stream url raspberry pi with vlc or omxplayer

my stream is :

http://rrr.sz.xlcdn.com/?account=bdl&file=Zeearend1&type=live&service=wowza&output=mp4

i can load the stream in GUI vlc. ( gives some errors when starting , but stream ok )

how to use this url with vlc or omxplayer on a raspberry pi. ( h264/mp4 or other )

simply command line like ; vlc

http://rrr.sz.xlcdn.com/?account=bdl&file=Zeearend1&type=live&service=wowza&output=mp4 does not work.

to answer my own question :

use : omxplayer “my complete url”

so for omxplayer and another stream i knwo this would be

omxplayer “http://rrr.sz.xlcdn.com/?account=itfryskegea&file=ooievaar&type=live&service=wowza&protocol=http&output=playlist.m3u8

beware that in a script file these “your_url” should be ‘your_url’ , took me another 10 minutes to see that. , so there is a difference in “” and ‘’
