I'm streaming from an axis camera (rtsp://172.25.238.150) in h264 format, to a file (axis.mp4). The file get's started, but when I try to view it, the input is dropped. Is it possible to view an 'endless' file, that's constantly being written to?
This is for traffic camera footage. The goal: video will be streamed to a file for a set duration (4days), continuously. Video will be deleted from the beginning and added to the end, to keep it a 4day duration. Clients will be able to view the live video and be able to rewind, fast forward (not into the future), pause, seek, stop, and record (review the video). Is this possible? How can this be done? I've gotten to where the file is created, but it can't be viewed. Is it because of the file type? Transcoding (what is transcoding?)? I'm looking into VLM, but I really don't understand how to use it. I don't know how to do command line/prompt stuff & it suggests http (instead of telnet when you can't do command stuff), but what are the step by step instructions? I tried created .vlm files & import them and hit play in the configurator (broadcast), but the file isn't created. I think VOD would be best, but again, I really need step by step instructions for the gui and a good explanation of how it works.
If this is possible, please tell me the settings (and how to get to them) and the step by step procedure. Thanks
