Hi!

I am running the latest Ubuntu/ZM/FFMPEG (with the RTSP Basic Authentication Patch), but I can't seem to be able to configure my camera with RTSP Authentication to be fed into ZM.

The url feed is something along:

rtsp://<username>:<password>@<cameraIp>:<port>/video.mp4

Without the authentication, I am able to properly watch the camera through the FFMPEG configuration, but when I activate the authentication, I keep getting an abort signal 6 error code in the ZM debug log.

I am able to watch the feed with the authenticated url in Ubuntu's Movie Player as well, so I am sure that both the link and RTSP authentication are working. What I cannot understand is why that is being lost in ZM, unless there some hidden extra step to configure that I couldn't find while searching through the forums/documentation.

Thanks in advance.

You can use another URL:

http://user:password@<IP>/jpg/image.jpg

On this URL you will find image in the resolution 640x320 pixels.
