Why vlc client doesn't detect video duration when receiving stream from vlc server?

Question

VLC

I stream from one VLC to another.
The final video file is transferred.
Ways - http, udp, rtp.
In none of the cases does the client display the duration of the video being played.
An example string for a generated stream in case of http:
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=512,scale=automatically,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100,scodec=dvbs,soverlay}: http{dst=:8080/go.avi} :sout-keep
Actually, the question is - why is this happening?

Answer 1

because it is transmitted as a stream, and not as a regular file, until everything is transferred, the client does not know when the broadcast is over.

Answer 2

@HellFir-e is right, you don't need live broadcasting, but rather Video on demand. Read here . But in general, some http-server (nginx) is better suited for this.
