Possible bug - rtp - can't set username and password

Post by netwrkr »

It appears the username and password "Admin" "123456" is hard coded and thus you are unable to define the real settings when using RTP with 1.24.

Yikes! That slipped by. That's the problem with only having ACTi cams to try out.

Fixed now but I can't find the patch I submitted to ffmpeg so no username/passwords will work properly at present until I track down where it has gone.

As an aside, will RTP streaming be more or less CPU intensive than MJPG?

Thanks for the excellent product!

The CPU usage will be noticeably less for RTSP rather then MJPEG

Yeah; I just switched 9 Axis cameras from MJPEG to RTSP. The drop in CPU load is pretty dramatic. Most of the cameras were chewing 10% CPU (on a dual core 2.33Ghz) and now are using 3 - 4%. Very nice.

Anyone have one of these newer RTSP devices I could try on a demo I've put together? I don't have one at the moment and would like to try it out even with the password bug which I'm sure I can update down the road.

An ACTi camera is available here:

** Edit: Camera offline for now...PM if you need a demo. **


The bitrate is set low and the QoS is also pretty high as not to piss off our fiber carrier's uplink.

Thanks, works on my DVD build and the VPS demo like a champ. Is that the inside or your shop or something? Picture quality looks amazing, probably alittle to much for all these camera's I'm messing with.

We'll I did get picture, now I'm messing with it to see what's up.

Big time cpu difference in trying your camera out with mpeg4 and some of the others I've tested. I've got yours up and running steady now, just throttled back on the fps. I notice that the feed from the orbit running at 960x720 is killer on the cpu compared to the ACTI. I'm sure it's just the resolution cause the picture was just amazing. I think I caught a quick glimpse of you guys inside that room :)

I believe the camera you were looking at was the ACM-3001...it's in our shipping center in the back part of our office.

ACTi has good stuff and good picture quality :)

It appears that my RTSP authentication patch has not in fact gone into ffmpeg as you. I will post it up in case anyone wants to use cams with authentication that is different than the ACTi default.

Just wondering if the patch has went into ffmpeg yet. I was messing with the SVN release today and tried to apply the patch. It had a hunk fail on the second file it was trying to patch. I should have captured what it said but I didn't think about it till later.

I don't think it is in yet but they appear to have messed around with rtsp.h so the patch no longer works. However the change in rtsp.h is only one line and it is easy enough to add manually for now.

Hi,

I have problem with the authentication too. I have AVI201 camera. My parameters:

Remote Protocol : RTSP
Remote Method : RTP/RTSP
Remote Host Name : admin:admin@192.168.1.10
Remote Host Port : 554
Remote Host Path : /live/mpeg4
Remote Host SubPath

Connecting with QuickTime player is ok, but I have to type admin/admin in the popup box. \
With ZoneMinder I get everytime:

Code: Select all

Mar 14 17:11:14 camera1 zmc_m1[13862]: INF [Starting Capture]
Mar 14 17:11:14 camera1 zmc_m1[13862]: ERR [Unable to open input 'rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.1.10:554']
Mar 14 17:11:19 camera1 zmc_m1[13862]: FAT [No RTSP sources]
Mar 14 17:11:19 camera1 zmc_m1[13862]: INF [Got signal 6 (Aborted), exiting and forcing backtrace]
Mar 14 17:11:19 camera1 zmc_m1[13862]: ERR [Signal address is (nil), from 0xb7f8f424]

Where could be a problem ?
