Bookmark network stream

Postby Basssssss » 27 May 2021 10:07

Under ”network -> open network stream” in the iOS iPhone app, is it possible to save network stream url’s as bookmarks?

I canno’t figure out how to do it.

Something like this, where the bookmarks would be the green lines:

Hello,

Just play the stream. It will be added as part of the last 50 played streams exactly where you marked.

Enjoy.

Hello!

Im sorry to say, it does not :(

It plays fine (rtsp ip-Camera) but nothing is added below.

Its password protected (rtsp://user:pw@ip:port) if that has anything to do with it not beeing saved.

Oh, do you have iCloud enabled on this iPhone?

Yes!

Is there some setting I need to enable?

hmm, we had a bug about a year ago where saving the locations failed when iCloud was disabled. To be honest, I never tried to save a rtsp stream, let a alone a password protected one. I'll try that.

Still having this problem - I can play a network stream on iOS VLC, but it is not added to the list to choose from and no other appparent way to save it as a bookmark. In fact I have an old network stream appearing in the list of bookmarks, but I no longer use the camera it links to.

This is on iPhone 12 pro max, iOS 17.5.1. iCloud is enabled on the iPhone.
