RTSP Streams Not Working in VLC

General

@lorenzo @atoppi We are currently facing an issue with RTSP streams in VLC that are mounted as RTP on Janus. WebRTC works properly with the same mounting point using FFmpeg, but when attempting to run the RTSP URL (e.g., rtsp://x.x.x.x:8554/15), it does not work in VLC.

Please assist in resolving this issue.

We can’t help on VLC.

@lorenzo Okay, thanks for the reply. I just need to confirm whether Janus can return the RTSP URL after managing the RTSP stream on its end. If not, please share any suggestions you may have.

I have no idea what you mean by “return the RTSP url”, sorry. The Streaming plugin in Janus only acts as a consumer of an existing RTSP url, so as a client.

@lorenzo Let me clarify what I’m working on. There are two applications: a web application and a mobile app, and I have live RTSP URLs.

  1. For the web app, I successfully passed the RTSP URL to Janus and received a working WebRTC stream.
  2. For the mobile app, we need to stream RTSP through Janus.

My question is: To avoid increasing the load on the NVR while running live streams on the client side, I want to manage the load on Janus. Is it possible for Janus to return the same RTSP stream that was passed to it, instead of directly loading it on the NVR? If not, please share any suggestions you may have.
