Monitor problem - ffmpeg source mjpeg stream

Post by servbg »

Hi.

I'm trying to get a stream from one IP camera.
I'm adding new camera in monitor mode, set source as ffmpeg, and source path as http://x.x.x.x:8008
I get error "Unable to locate video stream in http://x.x.x.x:8008"
I'm able to record the stream to a file from the console:
ffmpeg -f mjpeg -i http://x.x.x.x:8008 -vcodec copy video_file.avi and also to view it in VLC.
The same scenario, if using rtsp://x.x.x.x/h264 as source path works.

Any clues?
