Hello, I just read your Getting Started Guide with Milestone Onvif Bridge. I follow your guide until the end to play live stream from Onvif Bridge. And I want to playback recorded video via Onvif Bridge too, but the information to play recorded video is incomplete. It was stated that to play recorded video:

To view recorded video, enter rtsp://:554/vod/

But there’s no information how to supply the parameter of start and end time, or any other parameter. Because when I just entered it like that, the VLC just doing nothing.

Please help us find this information on how to play recorded video using Onvif Bridge. Thank you.

The ONViF Bridge documentation does not say whether this is possible to choose, but per the VLC-documentation, have you tried the (command line) parameters:

--start-time starts the video here; the integer is the number of seconds from the beginning (e.g. 1:30 is written as 90)

--stop-time stops the video here; the integer is the number of seconds from the beginning (e.g. 1:30 is written as 90)

Hi Michael, thank you for the reply, but I think if there’s a start and end time parameter, shouldn’t it be in datetime and time format? Because if I want to play recorded video from, let’s say, previous day, I need to supply the date, right?

hi guys

i have just encountered the same issue here, did any of you figured it out?

i thought i should add something like “timestamp={EPOCH_TIME_IN_MS}” to the RTSP link but that did not work.

Hi,

you need to provide login information rtsp://username:pass@:554/vod/ . Please refer to the answers from this question:
