How can I play the live stream via RTSP from Milestone ONVIF bridge?

I was using the Milestone XProtect Pro.

and Install the onvif bridge together.

After then.. I want to play the live rtsp stream from Milestone using VLC

So.. Make the RTSP URL like that

rtsp://admin:admin@10.250.46.235:554/live/64dbf33b-039c-4d9e-85be-7df17d8f50e8

-> In wireshark, the response of RTSP PLAY is 200 0K.

-> But.. not showing

Is it possible to view the live stream via rtsp?

How can I do?

It is possible to view the live stream via rtsp and the URI you are using should be correct. My best guess is that maybe some port is not open for communication, so could you try run it with no firewalls?

Also does VLC provide any error?

Every port is open. The VLC provide no error. I check the packet with wireshark.. and I cannot find the RTSP error message.

Additionally, I try with vod RTSP url.

rtsp://admin:admin@10.250.46.235:554/vod/64dbf33b-039c-4d9e-85be-7df17d8f50e8

-> In wireshark, the response of RTSP PLAY is 200 0K.

-> The video is showing.

So, my guess is that the RTSP bridge cannot service the live stream…

Is anyone can do play the live stream via RTSP bridge?

In the RTSP log message, I found the message like below

“Warning - TTRTSPConnection::Client_proccess, ProcessClientRequest Failed”

-> What mean?

I couldn’t stream in the beginning aswell but this worked for me:

Make sure the camera’s streaming mode is set to RTSP.

Live RTSP stream does work for the ONVIF bridge. However, the camera must be running H.264 (as is also stated in the documentation). Is your camera set up for this in the XProtect Management software?

I found something.

I see the RTSP message in wireshark then, I find something strange.

There is three cases.

Case #1

- using VLC

rtsp://10.250.46.235:554/live/747ff970-2c32-45b0-8f86-56ec3faa406e

-> RTSP Play message’s response is like that

Session: 35A65E76

Range:

RTP-Info: url=rtsp://10.250.46.235/747ff970-2c32-45b0-8f86-56ec3faa406e/747ff970-2c32-45b0-8f86-56ec3faa406e;seq=61190;rtptime=0

-> and video is not receving from Milestone.

-> and I find the difference between RTP-Info’s url and request URL

-> Hmm.. So, I try the RTP-Info’s url

Case #2

- using VLC

rtsp://10.250.46.235/747ff970-2c32-45b0-8f86-56ec3faa406e/747ff970-2c32-45b0-8f86-56ec3faa406e

-> RTSP Play message’s response is like that

Session: 682804CC

Range: npt=0.000-

RTP-Info: url=rtsp://10.250.46.235/747ff970-2c32-45b0-8f86-56ec3faa406e/747ff970-2c32-45b0-8f86-56ec3faa406e;seq=46738;rtptime=0

-> and video is not receving from Milestone.

So.. I try the RTSP-Info’s url with my RtspClient (I developed)

Case #3

- using my RtspClient program

rtsp://10.250.46.235/747ff970-2c32-45b0-8f86-56ec3faa406e/747ff970-2c32-45b0-8f86-56ec3faa406e

-> RTSP Play message’s response is like that

Session: BD48FAB9

Range:

RTP-Info: url=rtsp://10.250.46.235/747ff970-2c32-45b0-8f86-56ec3faa406e/747ff970-2c32-45b0-8f86-56ec3faa406e;seq=42850;rtptime=0

-> and video receiving successfully

Oh? What’s that?

Questions…

1. What is RTP-Info’s url mean?

2. Why does not play the video using VLC?

3. Why try the below RTSP URL using VLC always response the RTSP 401?

rtsp://admin:admin@10.250.46.235:554/747ff970-2c32-45b0-8f86-56ec3faa406e/747ff970-2c32-45b0-8f86-56ec3faa406e

Is anyone can play the live stream using VLC?

Additionally, I attach the RTSP message’s File

Hi Kim,

Can you please share some more information. What versions are the Onvif Bridge and the XProtect Pro? Can you also provide us with a copy of your RTSP client, so that we can reproduce the issue on our side. Please, also provide some information about the camera, you are trying to get video from - model, codec, stream type.

RTP-Info provides information about the stream for the camera that is requested. The format is rtsp://://

Response 401 mean unauthorized. Are you sure you have the needed privileges to the system?

I’m using 2016 R3 (10.2a) version of Onvif Bridge and XProtect Pro.

And Unfortunately I cannot give you a copy of my RtspClient Program.

But, you can see the RTSP message of my RtspClient Program in the attached log file.

I already attach the RTSP message logs in the previous post.

So,

Please check the already attached RTSP message’s File.. and then

try on your side using the VLC.

If you can play the live stream via VLC in your side, please share the how-to.

Hi Kim,

We will investigate the issue with Xprotect Pro. Can you also please send some wireshark logs. I want to see of the VLC is receiving frames. Have you tried getting video with your RTSP client using link: rtsp://admin:admin@10.250.46.235:554/live/747ff970-2c32-45b0-8f86-56ec3faa406e ? Please share some details about the camera, you are trying to get video from?
