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

[Rob Hexenmeister]

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

Ah, ok, if I try again, is there any particular log-file you want (filename of it) rather than the whole lot again?

the MPIPTVSource.log from the serverside is the one I want

MPIPTVSource.log

ok now it is indeed connecting with the server and getting responses...
unfortunately it responds with
RTSP/1.0 401 Unauthorized
Server: H264DVR 1.0
Cseq: 2

not really sure what is happening here, if it is an unimplemented login system, or something other...

Is watching this in onlinevideos also an option for you? or doable as a test?
That has a couple more tricks I can use (mpurlsourcesplitter/lav filter)
you have to add something like this to the onlinevideosites.xml:

    <Site name="Live Streams" util="GenericSite" agecheck="false" enabled="true" lang="nl" player="Internal">
      <Description>Live streams</Description>
      <Categories>
        <Category xsi:type="Group" name="Streams">
          <Channels>
            <Channel name="BB">rtsp://admin:12345678@192.168.0.249:554/channel0</Channel>
          </Channels>
        </Category>
      </Categories>
    </Site>

Oh no. That's not good news. It looks like this is going to be complicated.

OnlineVideos won't let us record, so that isn't going to work on this occasion, but I do like the information you have given on Online Videos because I have tried and failed to understand the wiki on that. I will remember this for future use.

In the meantime I am going to have to work out what is going wrong with the server connection. And I don't really have the knowledge
I think Mr Google is going to be my friend for many hours on this problem

Thank you for your time, as ever
