[Live-devel] Proxy Server Debugging

[Craig Matsuura]

I've been running for two days with openRTSP on a camera that had problems, openRTSP is still capturing video to the output file and the console last message has not changed.

One thing to note is when streaming stops from the proxy of the camera, if I connect to the camera directly it will stream.  My test was with gstreamer and not openRTSP to the proxy.

Could it be possible the problem is with the proxy session to the camera?  I'm no expert on RTSP but trying to learn as much as possible so I can stop asking so many questions.

I had to stop the openRTSP as I was running low on disk so I will restart it again to be sure the camera (back-end) continue to work.

If there is something else I can run it might be helpful?  Do you think using openRTSP connecting to the proxy server would shed any info?

Also to note, I did not have to use -t as UDP works fine.

Thanks,
Craig

After running openRTSP the last thing displayed is Data packets have begun arriving [#####], I did not here any beep.  After browsing the source I found that the playCommon.cpp has this message and a \007, which apparently did not cause the beep (no big deal).  Now I see I have started streaming from my back end RTSP.   I ran a camera in question all night and no other message followed the Data packets have begun arriving.  I assume this means all is good.

Yes.  You should see a (large) file - containing H.264 Elementary Stream video data - sitting in the directory from which you ran "openRTSP".  (If you wish, you can rename this - with a ".h264" filename suffix - and VLC should be able to play it.)

I do have one question, if the proxy server or openRTSP loses a session from a camera it will reconnect, correct?

The proxy server will; but openRTSP will not (it's just a simple client application, that connects and streams only once).  http://www.live555.com/openRTSP
