RTSP streaming

[haadiali72]

I am trying to add an IP camera which is ONVIF under the generic category. I have installed the trial version as well the community version which can support upto 4 cameras. The camera adds successfully but does not load the livestream. There were no errors in the system logs except one which was "Failed to open stream. Error: -1094995529 (Invalid data found when processing input)". This only popped up once. I need to test the livestream and ONVIF compliance for a major project. Please support

[curtishall]

Can you provide more information about the RTSP stream type:

• H.264 or H.265
• Does the camera or device use a non-standard streaming method (H.264+/H.265+)
• Does the stream work with VLC?

This may be fixed soon:

https://changelog.bluecherrydvr.com/introducing-enhanced-hevc-support-and-performance-upgrades-for-seamless-video-streaming-18ISd2

A better (see also: complete) ONVIF will be implemented in the next few months, see #602

Can you also paste the output of this:

ffmpeg -i rtsp://login:password@rtspURL:RTSPport/rtsp/path -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f mp4 stream.mp4

@curtishall The cameras are compatible with both H.264 and H.265. As of now they are configured on H.265 and stream works fine with VLC.

[curtishall]

Can you try changing the source to h264 and see how it works?

[haadiali72]

@curtishall I have tried both.Could there be another problem?

[curtishall]

Which distribution are you using? I'll provide you an updated build in the next day or two to test.

If that doesn't solve it could we get remote access to the RTSP stream?

[curtishall]

@haadiali72 Which distribution are you using?

[haadiali72]

Are you talking about the bluecherry server distribution?

[haadiali72]

3.1.0-rc8

[haadiali72]

I have tried again with both the codecs. The cameras are deployed locally. In case you would want remote access, we will have to connect on call

[haadiali72]

Apologies for the delayed response

[curtishall]

Linux distribution so I can send you a new package to test

Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS Release: 20.04 Codename: focal

[haadiali72]

@curtishall When can you send the new release?

[curtishall]

http://lizard.bluecherry.net/~curt/releases/focal/hevc_support/bluecherry_3.1.0-rc8_amd64.deb

[haadiali72]

Has this been included in the build?

[curtishall]

Yes. If you still have a problem we need remote access to the rtsp streams. This means actual port access and not via teamviewer, etc.

[haadiali72]

@curtishall there is an issue with this build. I have tried installing the .deb package only and also tried cloning the repo again. It gives errors while installing/building

Errors were encountered while processing: bluecherry E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

While installing, it gives the post installation script error. Please support

[haadiali72]

Can i continue with removing the post installation script?

[curtishall]

I need more details then what you provided one what happened with the install process....

Errors were encountered while processing: bluecherry E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Is not helpful.

[haadiali72]

[haadiali72]

@curtishall I dont exactly understand the origin of the issue but it is probably due to some broken packages. I have tried purging and force installing but it gives the same error

[haadiali72]

@curtishall Will this description do?

[haadiali72]

@curtishall can I please have an update here?I need to finalize the POC till friday after which we will move onto the licensing part

[curtishall]

try this package....I'm not sure why the install is saying incorrect password unless /etc/bluecherry.conf was deleted.

It may be easier to install again

http://lizard.bluecherry.net/~curt/releases/focal/new_api_branch/bluecherry_3.1.0-rc8_amd64.deb

[haadiali72]

@curtishall I created a new sql user and then proceeded with this package. The build was successful. Even though I still can't fetch the rtsp stream but it is better with this package since it's atleast giving me logs. Please find the error message below.

Jul 14 16:16:43 onescreen123 bc-server[10913]: I(1/Gaming): Last message repeated 1 times! -- Jul 14 16:16:43 onescreen123 bc-server[10913]: I(1/Gaming): Falling back to TCP connection Jul 14 16:16:43 onescreen123 bc-server[10913]: E(1/Gaming): Failed to open stream. Error: -111 (Connection refused)

[haadiali72]

As part of the error I mentioned above

Failed to open stream. Error: -1094995529 (Invalid data found when processing input)

[curtishall]

At this point we need access to the RTSP stream. If we can't get that for whatever reason we won't be able to do anything else.

[haadiali72]

@curtishall We can certainly do that. Where can I reach out to you? You can reach out to me at haadi@onescreensolutions.com. I am hoping we can hop onto a meeting

[haadiali72]

@curtishall Can we do this asap?
