[SOLVED] openRTSP LIVE555 Streaming Media setup

[cookiemonster]

Hello,
Could someone of you clever people help a zoneminder newbie? I can't find the right combination of settings in zoneminder version 1.28 for my ipcamera Sinocam SN-IPC-7004A-WI-UK.
However I get these details from a command line using openRTSP:

Started playing session
Receiving streamed data (signal with "kill -HUP 69293" or "kill -USR1 69293" to terminate)...

I've tried many combinations setting up the monitor. I've set it to source type "Ffmpeg", function "monitor".
Source tab:
-source path: openRTSP://192.168.1.8:554
-remote method: RTP/RTSP/HTTP
-options:
I've put many of the variations on the source path and options, but I still can't see video.
In some of the best results in the zm logs I get:

Code: Select all

onitor-1: 847000 - Capturing at 500.00 fps	zm_monitor.cpp	2907
2015-08-15 07:01:55.320948	zmc_m1	10052	INF	Monitor-1: 846000 - Capturing at 500.00 fps	zm_monitor.cpp	2907

I'd really appreciate some pointers how to best use these results to complete the monitor setup.
Many thanks in advance.

Anyone please? How do I use the details from the camera response in zone minder's monitor remote tabs?

The url you are using in the source path is wrong.

You used the right one here:

Code: Select all

root@Plex:/ # openRTSP rtsp://192.168.1.8:554

But when you entered it into the zoneminder source path field, you changed it to:

Code: Select all

openRTSP://192.168.1.8:554

openRTSP is a third party application. It is not a protocol, which is why this doesn't work. Change it to:

Code: Select all

rtsp://192.168.1.8:554

I had tried with combinations of OPEN rtsp:// , SETUP rtsp:// and others but not just rtsp://192.168.1.8:554 as you advised. That's given a healthier response in the logs. I've got a blue monitor but that's another issue.
Thanks knnniggett.

Try using a remote method of "RTP/unicast"

[cookiemonster]

Done by fluke but you were right again.
The remote method I used to make it work was RTP/RTSP and is working now.
Thanks again.
