Error 404

[krilson]

I tried this out via snap first, a lot of errors about missing plugins (gstreamer and some other non critical). I manually installed gstreamer and the page worked, but the streams did not load, only rotating loading circle indefinitely.

Attempted to run from source. Compiled everything. ReStreamer runs, no errors visible in the console. But the web page is blank, displaying only "404".

Not sure what else to try. Where is the log stored on the source installed version? Or should I see all the output in the console when running ./ReStreamer?

@krilson what snap channel did you try? (I would recommend you try edge)

When it running as standalone app:

• It logs to stdout
• log level can be changed in ~/.config/restreamer.conf
• you can see GStreamer logs if set something like GST_DEBUG=*:3
• it expects www in current dir

[RSATom]

Also, does http://ipcam.stream:5080/ works for you (it's running snap from edge channel)?

[krilson]

@RSATom, I tried now again from edge. Same behavior as before, page loads, but the loading circle is just spinning.

Here is the log output: https://pastebin.com/5RSEisZJ

The ERRORs are: 2021-12-28T15:09:41Z rtsp-to-webrtsp.ReStreamer[16772]: 0:00:03.225986475 16772 0x7fb850033e40 ERROR webrtcbin gstwebrtcbin.c:3540:_set_description_task: media 0 is missing or contains an empty 'ice-ufrag' attribute

It is also complaining about this: 2021-12-28T15:11:11Z rtsp-to-webrtsp.ReStreamer[16772]: Missing decoder: Raw 16-bit PCM audio (audio/x-raw, format=(string)S16LE, layout=(string)interleaved, rate=(int)48000, channels=(int)2, channel-mask=(bitmask)0x0000000000000003)

But there is no audio in this stream, just video.

The install from source on the other hand, gives no output to stdout apart from the notice that server is running...

http://ipcam.stream:5080/ also doesnt work, just spinning loading circle. Are all the streams on this site alive? I tested on a windows machine (chrome and firefox) and on my linux laptop (chrome and firefox).

@krilson I don't have control over all streams except Bars and Record and the second one almost always not streaming (it's for testing purposes right now). Also ipcam.stream vps is on cheap an horrible hosting, so yes, issues are possible. But at least Bedford Hills is working for me.

2021-12-28T15:09:41Z -[16772]: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

from your log definitely points to some bug in my code...

[krilson]

What kind of browser/OS are you using? For me even the Bedford Hills doesnt work...

[RSATom]

Hm... yes, Bedford Hills doesn't work for me anymore too... but Štrbské pleso does. I'm on Ubuntu 21 and tried Chrome Version 95.0.4638.69 (Official Build) (64-bit) and Firefox 95.0.1 (64-bit) with Štrbské pleso

But for testing purposes, to avoid third party servers issues, you can try install https://snapcraft.io/rtsp-test-server and point ReStreamer to it.

[RSATom]

Such unlucky day... looks like rtsp-test-server is broken too :(

[RSATom]

No, I was wrong, it's just some compatibility issue with VLC...

[RSATom]

I've tried install ReStreamer locally with snap from edge, and almost all sources are working with it... It looks like I should change hosting for ipcam.stream...

[krilson]

I can now see Western Cape on your server. So the os/browser is not an issue.

But from my cameras I only get the loading circle. Maybe there is some other issue with the stream on my side.

Will investigate further. Thanks for all the help.

[RSATom]

@krilson Please keep in mind browsers declared to support only baseline profile encoded h264 streams. So if your IP Cam doesn't provide supported stream - it will be not shown on browser (ReStreamer itself doesn't do any transcoding). But some tricks are possible, for example it's possible to fool browser by sending supported profile-level-id in SDP. You can do it by force-h264-profile-level-id config option.

Also you can find some more details in browser JS Console when connected to ReStreamer.
