Setting up a live web stream as a TV Channel (1 Viewer)

[Rob Hexenmeister]

Good evening!

I am trying to set up a TV channel in the TV server to show my live stream from a local camera. I am clearly doing something wrong with the syntax. I can watch the camera fine on VLC as shown below, and MediaPortal is finding my playlist OK, but it isn't finding the stream and adding the channel.

Can anyone help me? I have read the Wiki over and over and over again and can't work out what I am doing wrong.

Many thanks
RH

Do you have any relevant logs for that? More specifically: the logs of the IPTV plugin (don't know by heart what exactly the filename would be) in debug mode.
You can dm them to me if you suspect sensitive data inthere

Morning/afternoon!

Attached all the relevant logs that I can get together. My attempt at adding the stream was just a few minutes before I started this thread if that helps with the timestamp.

I suspect I have just got the syntax wrong in my playlist file (which is called 'BB' for bird box). Any help welcome because we are really hoping to record the moment the eggs hatch.

Thank you

checking logs I see:
MPUrlSourceSplitter_Protocol_Http: instance 'Main': CurlDebug(): CURL message: 'connect to 127.168.0.249 port 9999 failed: Connection refused'
MPUrlSourceSplitter_Protocol_Http: instance 'Main': CurlDebug(): CURL message: 'Failed to connect to 127.168.0.249 port 9999: Connection refused'

Perhaps some firewall is in the way?
Just curious: does the rtsp part (rtsp://adminetc) works by itself? (f.e. in vlcplayer)?

Yes, as per the screenshot with the bird in the box, using the URL shown in the screen shot of the VLC "Open Media" dialog

sorry, i overlooked that...
does it work if you put that rtsp url in the bbb.m3u8?
Btw you can also try watching it through onlinevideos but you don't have (scheduled) recordings there

No, it doesn't work (third screenshot is bb.m3u) - see above

 

[doskabouter]

that is not what I meant: the url is now http://blabla?input=rtsp://
what happens if you use only the rstp part in there so rtsp://admin:12345etcetc

Oh! Sorry,

I just tried that (i.e. deleting everthing in front of rtsp) and I get exactly the same result

 

[doskabouter]

yea but perhaps the logs are pointing to something more sensible?
