No connection with iOS IpCam or Android Ip Webcam #6

Good morning Christopher. I’m trying to use your great ipcam2syphon with Android or iOS ip camera apps but I have no success.

Background 1: ipcam2syphon works in itself because using the default stream.xml file I can see different ip cameras around the world and I can forward those streams into syphon-related applications (QLab, for instance).

Background 2: I’ve downloaded Android “IP Webcam” app on a Samsung smartphone and iOS “IpCam” on an iPhone 5C. I can say that these apps work, too, because if I write the URL provided by these apps on a web browser I can see the video streams, both on a local network and on the Internet.

So I can say that the two peers work but they don’t seem to work together. If I write those same URLs (that work on the web browser) in stream.xml, when I open ipcam2syphon I just receive black screen and connect failures.

I've read somewhere else (https://cycling74.com/forums/topic/sharing-is-fun-ipcam-iphone-to-ipcam2syphon-multiple-16-streams-of-ip-cams/) that at least the iOS app / ipcam2syphon coupling should work, so I'm not sure what the problem is here. It's probably not even an issue, just a setting problem, I guess. Any idea?

Thanks a lot

I haven't been able to reproduce this. Can you send a link to stream you are trying to view?
