<div dir="ltr">Perfect - yes the openrtsp.exe was able to open the stream from the camera on the alternate port without any problem at all. I went ahead and added the -t to the proxy stream and tried again in VLC and it immediately opened.<div>
I was worried because my receiver/decoder (providing HDSDI output with genlock) is actually VLC based. This works a treat!</div><div>Thanks for your help!</div><div><br></div><div>Des<br><div><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra">

I.e., maybe you have a firewall - sitting between the proxy server and the back-end server - that is blocking UDP packets? But that wouldn't explain the problem if the *only* difference between a working back-end server and a non-working back-end server is its port number. But I suspect that - in reality - the RTSP port number is *not* the only difference between these two streams :-)</div>

<div><br></div><div>To test this:</div><div><br></div><div>NOTE TO EVERYONE: If you want to test a RTSP stream, you should do so first using our client applications: "testRTSPClient" and/or "openRTSP". Only after you have gotten those to work should you then try using VLC. (VLC is not our software.)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Try running "openRTSP -n rtsp://<ip address>:9494/axis-media/media.amp", and see whether it reports that "Data packets have begun arriving". If it doesn't, then try again, but this time adding the "-t" option to "openRTSP" (to request RTP-over-TCP streaming).</div>
<div><br></div><div>If the "-t" option to "openRTSP" works, then the "LIVE555 Proxy Server" should also work (with this back-end stream) if you give it the "-t" option also.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
