<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi folks,<br><br></div>I recently picked up a Foscam FI9821W V2 and upgraded it to the current v1.11.1.18 firmware, and I'm still having difficulty streaming from it with any open source tools. (For example, VLC plays it, but has a lot of errors, visible corruption, and high latency.)<br clear="all">
<div><div><br></div><div>In my extensive searching, I found this thread where Ross points out that the camera's RTSP server is broken: <a href="http://lists.live555.com/pipermail/live-devel/2013-April/016863.html">http://lists.live555.com/pipermail/live-devel/2013-April/016863.html</a> (I also came across a mini-rant from Ross about the firmware devs' lack of interest in participating or getting support here, with which I agree...)<br>
<br></div><div>I know a true workaround is impossible, but if I wanted to get really dirty and hack up the client code with hard-coded video params, would I be able to make the stream play correctly? Has anyone tried this? Or anyone know what changes I'd need to make?<br>
<br></div><div>Background: I'm interested in playing with computer vision using this camera, and step one is getting live555 to cleanly decode the H.264 frames... If I can't actually decode this camera's video, then it was basically a waste of money. :(<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!<br></div><div><br>Mike<br></div></div></div>
