IP camera on Live TV

[EduardoSantos 40]

I am setting up Emby to host ip cameras as live TV channels.

Emby's version is 3.2.70.0

 

I configured a live TV tuner on Emby according to:

Tunner: M3U Tuner

File: C:\Users\Public\Videos\BF1104.m3u

User agent: N/A

Simultaneous live streams: 0

 

BF1104.m3u file content is:

#EXTM3U Sample
#EXTINF:0,Internal
rtsp://realuser:realpassword@192.168.1.11:8094/live1.sdp
#EXTINF:0,External
rtsp://realuser:realpassword@mydomain.sample:8094/live1.sdp

And indeed a Live TV "library" was created containing both channels.

 

Internal (LAN/WiFi) access to the Internal channel is ok.

I can access it from Emby's web client (browser), Emby's Android client and I am able to cast it to a Chromecast (wich is really beautiful).

Internal (LAN/WiFi) access to the External channel results in no image.

 

External access does not work for both channels.

 

Emby's external access to other content is ok. It streams videos and music.

Router 8094 port is oppen and redirects to the IP camera

As I got no image or sound from Emby's Live TV channel from outside, I tested the external url from outside using Android's VLC client.

It does work perfectly wich, I supppose, confirm route's port redirection is up and running.

 

Also, access to the External channel seems to induce Emby to a permanent HD access as windows task manager reports 100% HD activity.
This activity will only cease when Emby's service is restarted.

 

Do you have any hint on how to tacle this?

I had to switch to the Android beta client, after 3.2.70 server and live Tv to work...

Thanks for the tip!

 

But on this scenario the External stream will not work for no client: Emby web client, Android app or Chromecast regardless being started inside or outside the network.

Ohh... Though it was only Android

It appears ffmpeg is having a problem reading your rtsp stream:

rtsp://bf1104.brasilia.me:8094/live1.sdp: Unknown error
Finishing stream 0:0 without any data written to it.

[EduardoSantos 40]

I see... Could it be a user/password problem?

I noticed the URL below does not have the user:pass on it.

rtsp://bf1104.brasilia.me:8094/live1.sdp: Unknown error
Finishing stream 0:0 without any data written to it.

But anyway do you think this explains why the same stream is correctly displayed when using local (192.168.1.0/24) addresses?

 

I must mention that this rtsp stream is opened by VLC both local and remotely.

 

How should I proceed?

Unfortunately with no way to test i can't answer that for you.

[EduardoSantos 40]

Oh, @@Luke, you can access the stream from the outside. 

Please feel free to use the provided URL.
As I said it is reachable by VLC.

 

Also you can access the Emby server if it wold be necessary.

@@Waldonnis, do you have a chance to try this and see if our command line for rtsp needs adjustment? thanks !
