Source types NVSocket and VNC

Post by mr.graf »

Hello!
What do the source types NVSocket and VNC mean ?
There is an example of how to use them in the "source" tab ?
Thanks!

NVSocket is specifically for working with NVIDIA Jetson (and maybe newer) boards. It takes a raw video stream from a socket from nvidia libs. If you need to use this, you can pay me to document it. I'm not going to bother otherwise.

VNC talks to a VNS server or apple rdp to record desktops. It should be pretty self explanatory.

I write documentation for Russian-speaking ZoneMinder users. And nowhere have I found a description of these parameters.
Thank you very much for the answer!

fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl
