RTSP Stream not coming up

[JoelCherian]

I have a rtsp stream working in VLC media player. When opening express it comes with an empty page with no errors. When i turn the verbose :true i get Stream died - will recreate when the next client connects.

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

const { proxy, scriptUrl } = require('rtsp-relay')(app);

const handler = proxy({
url: rtsp://1.1.1:554/live1.sdp,
// if your RTSP stream need credentials, include them in the URL as above
verbose: false,
});

// the endpoint our RTSP uses
app.ws('/api/stream', handler);

// this is an example html page to view the stream
app.get('/', (req, res) =>
res.send(`

<script src='${scriptUrl}'></script> <script> loadPlayer({ url: 'ws://' + location.host + '/api/stream', canvas: document.getElementById('canvas') }); </script>

`),
);

app.listen(2000);

same not working

[ariabd-id]

have you added the transport property? i think you should add transport="tcp" property

[drmmyx]

i think is working

have you added the transport property? i think you should add transport="tcp" property

yes is working .... i was following exactly

Example
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

const { proxy, scriptUrl } = require('rtsp-relay')(app);

const handler = proxy({
  url: `rtsp://admin:admin@10.0.1.2:554/feed`,
  // if your RTSP stream need credentials, include them in the URL as above
  verbose: false,
});

// the endpoint our RTSP uses
app.ws('/api/stream', handler);

// this is an example html page to view the stream
app.get('/', (req, res) =>
  res.send(`
  <canvas id='canvas'></canvas>

  <script src='${scriptUrl}'></script>
  <script>
    loadPlayer({
      url: 'ws://' + location.host + '/api/stream',
      canvas: document.getElementById('canvas')
    });
  </script>
`),
);

app.listen(2000);
Open http://localhost:2000/ in your web browser.

this doesnt contain transport ... so i thinking why is not working

Sorry, I have a question
I use this lib to Stream from Camera via Rtsp url.

• with transport tcp: quality is bad and blur.
• with no transport (not set): quality is good, same with VLC. But I deploy to Linux system, It's white screen (seem no output stream)
  @k-yle I have missing any config ?
  Thanks

@tuanth89 Perhaps your system does not support the video encoding currently in use, such as H.265

maybe its unrelated but we had a similar problem with rtsp proxy + websocket + electron. It could be resolved using:

expressInstance.ws(
/stream,

  rtspRelay.proxy({
    url: urlToUse,
    useNativeFFmpeg: true, // Use this as parameter
    verbose: true,
  })

);

The rtsp video stream can be played normally in vlc, how to solve

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
@
const { proxy, scriptUrl } = require('rtsp-relay')(app);

const handler = proxy({
  url: `rtsp://admin:123456..@192.168.1.28:554/h265/ch1/main/av_stream`,
  // if your RTSP stream need credentials, include them in the URL as above
  verbose: true,
});

// the endpoint our RTSP uses
app.ws('/api/stream', handler);

// this is an example html page to view the stream
app.get('/', (req, res) =>
  res.send(`
  <canvas id='canvas'></canvas>

  <script src='${scriptUrl}'></script>
  <script>
    loadPlayer({
      url: 'ws://' + location.host + '/api/stream',
      canvas: document.getElementById('canvas')
    });
  </script>
`),
);

app.listen(7000);
console.log('Server running on port 7000');
