Demo version does not connect to IP cams.

Post by aspielau »

Hello,
I'm new to RVMedia. Have the demo versions (from the trail) in the test.
Web cams all work very well.
I already have problems with the IP cameras at SwitchCam:

'alias=D-Link1|' + 'url=https://192.168.110.43:443/video1.mjpeg|' + 'host=|' + 'port=443|' + 'login=admin|' + 'password=admin|' + 'VideoImagesURLs=|' + 'control=0',

'alias=D-Link2|' + 'url=|' + 'host=192.168.110.43|' + 'port=443|' + 'login=admin|' + 'password=admin|' + 'VideoImagesURLs=|' + 'control=0',

With the first camera it gets stuck at "Preparing ..", with the second camera at "Accessing ...".
GStreamer was installed but to no avail.

I'm grateful for any help.
Would like to use RVMedia in the short term especially for AXIS cameras

Without FFmpeg or GStreamer, RVMedia can display MJpeg by HTTP, not by HTTPS protocol.

As for AXIS cameras, RVMedia has special support for cameras having MJpeg video URL like http://HOST/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi.

Unfortunately, a camera with video URL like HOST/video1.mjpeg cannot be detected by RVCamera.SearchCamera, so the second syntax will not succeed.

Is this camera accessible by HTTP (not HTTPS) protocol? In this case, try specifying url=http://192.168.110.43:443/video1.mjpeg
If not, try Cameras\FFmpeg\ demo to play this URL.
