Preview is not working using RTSP protocal as a generic IP CAM #4

Hi maikito26,

First of all, thanks for your effort for the great add-on. I can successfully configure to watch my IP cam in full stream each a time. But I can not set the preview function working for my four cam's preview in one screem. It is possible to make "preview function" working for my hikversion IP cam working?

thanks again

Indeed this is a great add-on. I have the same problem. When I select a specific generic camera, it loads and plays perfectly fine in full screen. If I select to view all cameras they play only if I have set before the snapshot url. Is it possible to make the play from the video url? Many Thanks

This is on hold until Kodi 18 due to missing dependencies. From what I've read it may be possible but lets not hold our breath yet! Keep checking back though.

same thing here, when i load my rstp url in full screen everything is working fine. but the ALL CAMERAS and PREVIEW nothing work because you forgot to put the VIDEO STREAM option, like you did for the Source player options

RTSP streams do not work in preview based on current limitations of the api. There is potential in Kodi 18 or future I think but I haven't looked into it.

The preview is a window that is drawn over the main window. The background of this is a constantly updating static image from MJPEG or snapshot results. This is how its possible. RTSP would require a separate video player instance which is currently not possible.

A really great Add-On thanks for this Maikito26!

It is clear that we cannot use RTSP in the preview. But is it possible to have the MJPEG refresh every second? Now it does it every 2 seconds.
