Hello.

I need to convert RTSP stream to HTTP Video Stream, that Google Chrome browser could play.

I am newbie in such question, so I Googled this https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/StreamingGuide and installed Emby server just now.

 

Now I see in Emby Server

Version 4.4.2.0

checkEmby Server is up to date

Running on http port 8096.

In-Home (LAN) access: http://192.168.31.11:8096

Remote (WAN) access: *******************

 

My RTSP is only in private LAN, so I Googled RTSP stream for tests too: rtsp://170.93.143.139/rtplive/470011e600ef003a004ee33696235daa .

 

When I am running 

ffmpeg -i "rtsp://170.93.143.139/rtplive/470011e600ef003a004ee33696235daa" -preset ultrafast -vcodec libx264 -tune zerolatency -b 900k -f mpegts http://192.168.31.11:8096/

I see output with error

I also tried to pass auth params to server, but it didn't solve the issue:

Because of C:\temp i guess you are on windows.

Ffmpeg cannot output to http on windows, only on Linux. So you have to output to a normal file and host it with a seperate http server software.

OK, if it's ffmpeg question, any other way to convert RTSP to HTTP stream, with other tools and Emby?

Thank you for your reply. Too complex for hobby project of smart home. Solved with ffmpeg+nginx+videojs.

Ok, I think what I suggested would be just as easy, if not easier. A strm file is just a text file with the rtsp url inside.

sounds like he is just getting access to his IP security cameras........  or something..   cant you just use VLC to restream?    However the strm file luke said above would work too...

I was delighted to see this thread, as I have tried and failed in the past to find a way to view the output of a webcam I use from outside the network.  It turns out all I had to do was to put the URL that the dedicated viewer uses into a strm file and away it went!

rtsp://192.168.1.9:554/user=admin_password=xxxxxxxx_channel=1_stream=0.sdp?real_stream

I have shown that to encourage anyone who is put off trying it because their URL is not much like that which the Emby documentation suggests is required:

 

This should look like:
...
rtsp://host/path/stream

PS - this appeared to fail when away from the local network (infinite rotating circle).  But I'll continue this in the beta forum.

Some of these IP camera streams are "goofy" ive seen ffmpeg not be able to handle them.    Might be a case where you need to share the transcode, or direct logs to see whats going on...
