Camera Setup Web Issue

[walker3733]

I have installed everything and followed every step of the instructions. When I go to the pi web address and attempt to setup the camera I get the following result instead of the web page.

The full result copied and pasted:

Please disregard my original message. I retried using the php7 and the web interface worked. I setup everything per your instruction and I am now getting the message"Can not play this live stream...". Any ideas?

Thanks,

[walker3733]

Also here is a copy of the error.log @file and I am trying to view a Reolink RLC-410s.

My guess is that ffmpeg is not installed on your Raspberry Pi. Try running ffmpeg in the console and see if you get any errors:

$ ffmpeg -version

[walker3733]

Here are the results:

[e1ioan]

Can you please try running this command (replace first ___RTSP___ with your camera's rtsp address) and see if you get any errors:

ffmpeg -thread_queue_size 512 -rtsp_transport +udp+tcp -rtsp_flags prefer_tcp -i ___RTSP___ -vcodec copy -codec:a aac -f hls -hls_flags delete_segments /dev/shm/test.m3u8

The rtsp address should look something like this: rtsp://login:password@192.168.1.59:554/axis-media/media.amp

Note, the address above is for an Axis camera, for your camera the last part of the URL may look different.

[walker3733]

I think I put it in the right spot:

It should be something like this:

It seems that your raspberry pi cannot see the camera. Are the pi and the camera on the same network? Try pinging the camera:

ping 192.168.1.40

[walker3733]

Yes, they are both on the same network. I can ping it.

[e1ioan]

After you installed the software on your pi, did you add the camera as ONVIF or you entered the rtsp address manually?

If you added as ONVIF, can you please post the content of the following file: cat /var/www/html/data/cameras.xml

If you added the rtsp address manually, did you try playing this rtsp address in VLC media player and see if it works? Open VLC, in the menu select Media->Open Network Stream and then paste:

rtsp://​admin:​TravisJames3733​@​192.168.1.40:554//h264Preview01​main

It seems that there is a problem with this rtsp address, but I don't have a Reolink camera and it's hard to me to guess what it is.

[walker3733]

Ok, my apologies I'm an idiot that was the IP for my Pi. I have rerun the command and it seems to be running without errors.

It seems that when you added the camera, you selected the substream, try running this and see if you get any errors with the sub stream:

ffmpeg -thread_queue_size 512 -rtsp_transport +udp+tcp -rtsp_flags prefer_tcp -i rtsp://admin:TravisJames3733@192.168.1.114:554/h264Preview_01_sub -vcodec copy -codec:a aac -f hls -hls_flags delete_segments /dev/shm/test.m3u8

You also can try adding the camera again and select the main stream, see if that works.

[e1ioan]

I'm guessing that your login and password are right? admin TravisJames3733, right? Try deleting the camera in the application, add it again and select the main stream in the "H.264 Profiles Available". If it's authorization problem, I really can't help you with that... maybe you just typed a letter wrong somewhere? Like I said, try everything from the beginning (erase the cameras you already added) and see if that helps.

I have to take off right now, but I'll check your messages here later on.

[walker3733]

Ok, so I made some progress. I now can select the camera that is setup and I see the progress bar stating "Retrieving". Once the progress bar reaches the end nothing happens and the progress bar goes away. I am wondering if it has to do with a resolution setting? I have tried all3 h.264 profiles (Baseline, Main and High) with no change. I did revert back to the "Main" profile as previously requested. I also tried changing the resolution from 2560x1440 to 720 and still nothing comes on the screen. I have also attached a screenshot of the encode settings in the Reolink client. Also thank you very much for the time and patience you have given me so far. I am really excited about getting this up and running.

Thanks,

JW

[e1ioan]

Please try changing the frame rate to something like 25 or 30

[walker3733]

So I tried the 2 options below 30 for the frame rate, which was 20 and 22, with no luck. Any other ideas?

[e1ioan]

I'm not sure what could it be, the application on the raspberry pi, if it's installed the right way, should work from first try with h264 encoded streams.

[walker3733]

Just an update, I have gotten my cameras up and running. For some reason though I am only able to see them when I use the substream. Thanks for your help on this.
