Cannot play Live camera feed from security CAM

[FlatScreen 15]

Upgraded to new version. Still cannot play live RTSP stream:

I'm afraid, there's nothing that Emby can do about this, this is something outside the reach of Emby.

Let's summarize the situation:

• You have on computer (A) on which you can receive packets from the camera with ffmpeg
• You have another computer (B) (on which you run Emby) where you cannot receive packets from the camera with ffmpeg (using the same command and the same ffmpeg).,
• You say you can receive the stream with VLC - but only from computer A

It must be something about network communication, firewall, nat (if involved), port forwarding (if involved) or similar.

Unless you can't receive the stream on computer B at all, there's nothing that Emby can do.

I am gonna test one more thing. I am going to install Emby (non - premium version) on computer A where VLC works, and see how it goes.

@Abobaderwould that be you or another admin to update Website footer?

[Abobader 3464]

That for @bigjohn

@Happy2Play @Abobader That's something I am not directly involved in but I believe anyone can contribute:

Looks like there was a pull request from last year for the same thing that never got merged.

[Abobader 3464]

Well, simple code can add year auto without the need to edit manually.

Is this the Emby website or the actual software web interface code?

It is just the website.  No server or web client code is public.

Getting back to topic, just upgraded to 4.7.0.40 Beta.
Still no joy.

Keep in mind that firewall is switched off on Emby box (bare-metal).

I have yet to find free time to give this a go. I am probably gonna test it around weekend.

TV is only available in Emby Premiere. Is it possible to move the license key temporarily to test Windows box and then pull it back to original hardware?

Yes

Can I use my Emby Premiere Key on More than One Server : Emby

* Emby box has firewall totally disabled. Computer is restarted i.e. power cycled.
* Using Emby 4.8.0.7 Beta
* OS is fully updated as of this writing 
* ffmpeg version 4.2.7-0ubuntu0.1
* VLC works OK with the RTSP URL, on Emby box and from any other devices on the LAN. As of now I have connected a monitor with Emby box for troubleshooting. 
* Tried Emby on Windows 10 Pro, (separate bare-metal) using same camera, but no joy so far

Any further suggestions?

If you're trying to use our ffmpeg build from the command line, yes that is normal. there is a way though, it's just not as simple as that.

Computer "B", where Emby is installed, also has VLC working without any issue with that rtsp URL.
Firewall is disabled on Computer "B"

Run /opt/emby-server/bin/ffmpeg-emby instead.

Can you please provide a new log file example from the latest version of the server? Thanks.
