h264 rtsp source from bosch ip camera

Hi, hope this is the right place to post this type of question.
I have a bosch ip camera, that can do mjpeg, but i only get ~1 fps that way, it also does h264 streaming.
The stream works well, i can see the video if i connect to it with vlc

Code: Select all

vlc rtsp://192.168.1.60:554/video.mp4
But how do i connect it to zm?
Things i have tried, unsuccessfully:
type: remote
protocol: rtsp
host: 192.168.1.60
port:554
host path: /video.mp4

type: ffmpeg
source path: rtsp://192.168.1.60:554/video.mp4

Any ideas how to get this working?

Try leaving only this in the source path:

source path: /video.mp4

Hope it helps,

did you mean that using ffmpeg as source?

Just try it, I do not know if you could set the ffmpeg as source. Do you have access to the snapshots of the camera using another path?

Could you give more data, for instance, an extract of the /var/log/syslog file when trying to connect to the camera.

i was looking at /var/log/zm/zmdc.log and missed the syslog, this really seems important, here is the log:

Code: Select all

Oct 14 10:11:10 zoneminder-riga zmc_m13[15991]: WAR [Can't find payload details for video payload type 35, name H264]
Oct 14 10:11:10 zoneminder-riga zmc_m13[15991]: FAT [Unable to get RTP Info identifier from response 'RTSP/1.0 200 OK^M CSeq: 3^M Session: 578b03e66876358^M ^M ']
Oct 14 10:11:10 zoneminder-riga zmdc[2732]: ERR ['zmc -m 13' exited abnormally, exit status 6]

ps. if i change the "Remote Method" from "RTP/RTSP" to "RTP/RTSP/HTTP" then this is the error i get:

Code: Select all

Oct 14 10:14:40 zoneminder-riga zmc_m13[16077]: FAT [No RTSP sources]

If it makes you feel any better I'm having what I think is a very similar problem with my Launch IP camera :)
