Can not setup rtsp stream

[anto1ne]

Hi

I would like to see my cameras using the rtsp protocol (or similar) to watch them with vlc.

Here is my setup.

• a NVR (192.168.1.150) Dahua DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-4KS2/L.
• 4 cameras (192.168.1.80, 81, 82, 83, 85) Dahua DH-IPC-HFW2230S-S-S2.

I can see these cameras with a browser, it works fine.
Now, I would like to see them with VLC.

I try to open this url with VLC but it does not work, vlc only says that it can not open this url
rtsp:/admin:[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0

Could you help me with this issue ?

Hi,

after several test, I think I solved this issue
my OS is Debian 12 and it seems that vlc can not read rtsp stream because of a debian policy decision

#982299 - Fwd: RTSP streams are not displayed with version 3.0.12 on Debian Sid - Debian Bug report logs

I read now my stream on my local network with mpv and it works fine

It is very frustrating that you cannot watch RTSP streams with VLC on Linux.Coincidentally, my work computer also has Debian 12 installed. You can try the vlc I compiled earlier, which can play rtsp streams.

I realize this is an old post but I just saw it so I am replying now in case it helps someone.

You can stream to VLC from the NVR by using the LAN IP of the NVR and a channel number, not the IP's of the cameras. Select each camera as a channnel number in the URL such as 1, 2, 3 and 4; Subtype "0" is the main stream, "1" is the sub stream.

NOTE: Place 2 "/" after "rtsp:" as the forum will not allow 2 to be displayed consecutively here.

Example:

rtsp:/admin:[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0

rtsp:/admin:[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=2&subtype=0

rtsp:/admin:[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=3&subtype=0

rtsp:/admin:[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=4&subtype=0
