The VideoLAN Forums

The RTSP streaming option used to work on previous versions.
With updated 2.1.2 RTSP streaming does not work anymore.
Nothing has been changed on the device's (I am using IP network camera) side.
And I get the following message.
Do you have any resolution for this? and what has been changed on the "Open Network stream" option of VLC media player?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Thank you for the reply.
Even though I input correct authentication. It still come out as "authentication failed"
However, if I remove authentication requirement from the IP camera. It will output RTSP streaming.

Please advise.

Sorry, I don't know for this.

I found the solution.
It looks like since 2.0.3, you changed/improved(?) the authentication method for RTSP.

From Advanced Preferences - > Input / Codecs -> Demuxers -> RTP/RTSP -> RTSP user name and RTSP password
If these are input prior to connection, no stress.
