RTSP URL for Network/IP Camera

[nhbdesign]

In the universal VLC for windows App I used to be able to access our Samsung password protected IP Camera (model SNV-6084R to be specific) through an rtsp url in the following format; rtsp://username:password@ipaddress/profile2/media.smp but that doesn't seem to be working in the VLC for Windows Store version of the app, I'd really like to hear from anyone here who's been successful with this.

Thanks in advance!

Hey,

Any chance you can share the URL so I can have a look locally?

[nhbdesign]

I certainly can but I'm not sure how you intend to access it, it's not streamed to the web just on our local network.

I managed to reproduce, it seems RTSP support is broken indeed, unsure why. Investigating

[nhbdesign]

Hope you find the culprit soon...

Thanks!

Today I was also trying to get RTSP streams off IP cameras and had no luck at all.

For one, you are no longer allowed to put credentials in the URL, but this is buried in the log messages.

Once I figured that out I removed the credentials and was asked to log in. I did, but the stream did not start playing. Based on what I have read on my camera forum, VLC should Just Work, though it is possible that I have made a mistake.

This is level 2 log output from my try at playing a camera on my LAN.

@horseflesh, you're using the win32 Qt app, not the Windows Store app so I think you're in the wrong forum section

does VLC for UWP support RTSP?

i just installed VLC for UWP from windows store on a windows PC. It cannot connect a RTSP stream. the error message is "Connection failed VLC could not connect to IP address:554". on the same machine, The desktop version of VLC player is playing the same rtsp stream without issue.
