Security Cams not play rtsp stream

[plamen6877 2]

Hi,

i have rtsp stream, which is not playable with security cams plugin In vlc on windows works perfect. My emby is on ubuntu server. I found that, when i try ffmpeg -i rtsp://user:pass@10.10.10.10:554/example_stream not working, but when i add "-rtsp_transport tcp" ffmpeg works. So in emby logs i saw, that "-rtsp_transport tcp" is missing and maybe that is the problem. Can someone help with this issue?

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for reply!

@plamen6877instead of those changes to the arguments, what if you try?

-rtsp_flags prefer_tcp

before the -i.

How does that compare?

When i replace "-rtsp transport tcp" with  "-rtsp_flags prefer_tcp" result is same, it works.

@Luke I have an issue that sounds very similar. Happy to share logs etc, but before I do, how could I implement the above solution? I only have the option to add the rtsp stream, not sure where I would add arguments?

Hi, there are changes already incorporated into the 4.9 beta channels so you could just try that instead.

As you can see, i ran ffmpeg in linux cli. In cli you can add parameters. All things is working now! Just use latest beta!  

TNX for support!
