Can't view stream on VLC or MPV #18

Open teredactle opened 3 years ago

teredactle commented 3 years ago

I have a WC3 set up with the hacks, I can ping it, do a port scan and see ports 23 and 12345 open.

Cannot view the stream with either VLC nothing MPV (MPV throws some weird error about youtube-dl??)

Also tried to add it in Blue Iris. I add the IP in the right field, hit "inspect" after changing RTSP port to 12345. Tells me it finds RTSP port, it "self configures" but no stream. Tried both http and rtsp in the drop down.

If anyone has any ideas what I can try would appreciate it. I turned off Windows firewall to try, no difference.

Thanks

[tried to telnet with root, password listed in docs ismart12 doesn't work...)

Did you open VLC from the command? I don't think you can stream direct from the app..

Thanks, tried those settings and many others, not working in BI at all, I'm running version 5 of BI. It's like it sees something, but not working 100% as the window detected the feed being 1080 and adjusted the window size to 16:9, yet no video.

VLC seems to work now. However it's not reliable. What I mean is that if I reboot, I try VLC, it works. I kill VLC and try it in BI, not working. Then I go back to VLC, also not working any longer. If I reboot, working again in VLC.

Not sure how to check the logs on what is happening behind the scenes. The whole time it's working in Wyze, I just wish it would work in BI5.

Would welcome some pointers.

BTW, thanks for responding, I just realized there are "closed" threads that I didn't see with the same questions or similar. Noob on github.

When you say "reboot" above, you mean the camera, right? It sounds like the streaming server is not getting the disconnect, which is odd, I've never seen this before. It's a single threaded, single client server.

The password for V3's is WYom2020 . You can enable the log file in the config file, then you could look in the log file to see if it's getting the disconnect. Usually the write just fails and that's a sign the client is gone.

-is it possible to do this through Telnet?
