RTSP-Stream cannot be opened anymore #78

Closed Blackbox-git closed 1 year ago

Blackbox-git commented 1 year ago

Hello, since the last VLC update I can not open the RTSP stream of my network camera. I always get the following error:

VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://Username:password@192.168.111.5:554/11'. Check the log for details.

I use Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye with the following kenerl: Linux DisplayPi 5.15.76-v7+ #1597 SMP Fri Nov 4 12:13:17 GMT 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux

On my normal PC it works with the same Version of VLC (3.0.18). Even if I remove the password protection, the stream is not opened on the Raspberry Pi

As you could see from the headlines, the now recent update of VLC is working normally again. I can not explain what I do wrong on Friday (2022-12-09). I used the following commands to upgrade like today:

sudo apt update && sudo -y full-upgrade

Can you explain what happend?

PS: Because you hear it far too little. Thank you for your great work!

XECDesign commented 1 year ago

Can you explain what happend?

Sure. Since there was a security issue, Debian released a new version, which filtered through to Raspbian.

Because we don't want to end up in a situation where there's major security issue, we generally version our packages such that Debian's updates take precedence. The downside is that if people update to that version, they lose our changes until I get a chance to rebase our changes and release a new package.

PS: Because you hear it far too little. Thank you for your great work!

Thanks! Much appreciated.

Thank you for the explanation. Then I will look at the policy of the package before the next update.
