rtsp error 461 with freebox stream

[zezinho42]

I am trying to play a stream which works with vlc and ffplay.

In mpv 0.27.1 I get a ffmpeg/demuxer error. (I cannot try 0.28 version as ffmpeg is not recent enough).

Stream is a direct TV given by a french interne provider

Log below :

Try it with ffmpeg/ffplay?

It works with ffplay :

Try with --rtsp-transport=lavf (I think this will do something similar to what ffplay does, re: the transport) or --rtsp-transport=udp to force UDP.

The server seems to be complaining about using an unsupported transport. mpv defaults to forcing TCP, while ffplay in my experience will usually pick UDP.

[ghost]

That's correct. When this was changed, TCP apparently worked much better. But it was a long time ago, when mpv checked network only every video frame, and UDP packet drop could be extreme.

Thanks, this works. I suppose mpv could try to change RTSP transport by itself so that end users don't get stuck?
