IP Camera RTSP Streaming

[jonred]

Hi,

I’m trying to stream an IP camera over RTSP using VLC ActiveX but I’m no table to achieve it. However, If I stream over HTTP, using the same configuration, it works. I have changed the MRL extended parameter only in both cases.
If I try to connect over RTSP using VLC out of WinCC OA, it works. I don’t know if some extra steps are needed to configure the connection through RTSP with the VLC ActiveX in WinCC OA. There are no log files reporting the error.
It is possible to connecto through RSTP using this method?

Thank you,

Hey,

I did that 10 years ago with 3,11 . It worked fine with siemens camera in RTSP. Here is how I did it:

Code: Select all

int item=VideoLAN_VLCPlugin.playlist.add("rtsp://1.2.3.4:555");
VideoLAN_VLCPlugin.playlist.playItem(item);

Don't forget to clear playlist if you are gonna use another stream:

Code: Select all

VideoLAN_VLCPlugin.playlist.stop();
VideoLAN_VLCPlugin.playlist.clear();

¨

I hope it will help you.

If you want to show video streams in WinCC OA you can use the WinCC OA Video AddOn.
For details please have a look at the documentation:
