I have a small Video OA system set up with a couple of cameras connected to a NAZ storage device via a single server running several vimacc components ( Wincc Server / control interface / video interface / recording server / RTSP Server ) connected through a network switch.
I then connect my laptop to the system through an Ethernet cable and can see live stream video using VLC Media Player with the following network URL:
rtsp://192.168.1.007:5544/Camera_07810/live
However when I try to see playback from the system using:
rtsp://192.168.1.007:5544/Camera_07810/playback
This does not work and I get the error :
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://192.168.1.007:5544/Camera_07810/playback'. Check the log for details.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks,
Louis

Re: RTSP Playback Through VLC
Hi,
Did you control if you have records on this specific camera? I guess that this need to be configured and files available, otherwise it will fail.
As from help : "Playback cannot be controlled via the RTSP server. It starts at the beginning of the recording as soon as the playback link is called and runs till the end of the recording."
I guess this is reading the whole folder, so if empty nothing probably happens.

Yes there are playback recordings available for this camera on the NAZ drive.
I am able to view them using the video workstation EWO on the server. However they will not load on external VLC.

Re: RTSP Playback Through VLC
Hi Alexandre,
I have solved this now.
It was because I was recording two streams on the camera and only the second stream "Camera_07810__2" had data in the drive.
So "rtsp://192.168.1.007:5544/Camera_07810/playback" did not work
but
"rtsp://192.168.1.007:5544/Camera_07810__2/playback" did work.
However, once there is data in the "Camera_07810" folder for stream 1, the URL "rtsp://192.168.1.007:5544/Camera_07810/playback" causes VLC player to show the playback for stream 2 if there is no stream 1 data available at that time. I can't see anything more in the help about this. Do you know any more info about it?
