Latest on RTSP Support?
« on: June 27, 2015, 11:48:11 pm »

I've been playing with the Video Cams I got and they support RTSP stream.  Streams work find in VLC but in MC it attempts to play it then errors out with a "Something went wrong with playck"  I've seen various posts that RTSP is not supported in MC but then one by Yaobing that he may have it working???

Thanks
Nathan

Last I knew, no. But that was a long, long time ago.

Just getting excited playing with my Home Automation stuff!  Looks like most of cams etc use RTSP.

...I know that Yaobing had done some dev on this ;) but I don't know if it is production

Lots use RTSP and others use RTP.

One way to solve it, if you're determined, is to install Wowza and reflect the streams. Wowza allows you to receive incoming streams from a wide variety of sources and reflect them in almost any format you can imagine, including RTMP (Flash), HTTP Live Streaming (Apple), and SmoothStream (Microsoft/Silverlight).  It can make it into a streaming format that MC can receive and play.

It isn't free, but it works awesome. There is a free trial, though. If you want to do it, they do still have a perpetually licensed version you can host yourself. The trial might be enough (it isn't time limited, it limits the streams you can receive and send).

There is also Red5, which is an open source project that basically tries to do the same thing. Last I looked, Red5 was VERY difficult to set up and configure, and was limited in the types of things it could handle (plus, documentation and support was pretty much non-existent).  But, last I looked was a LONG time ago, because I use Wowza.

Thanks but I'm already running enough services on this PC!  FYI - Interestingly, I see the stream is imported into the MC Database and the correct video details are populated.

Yeah. For the record, it is usually best and easiest to run Wowza in a VM.
