How about this? Since I don’t want to require users to open ports on the firewall, RPi runs HLS proxy and yes still have the OpenVPN or maybe a tunnel firewall to the HTTP server running on my server? I see in the documentation that the HTTP server must be on the same computer, so maybe over a netcat pipe or something.

Note that the (custom) RTSP “REGISTER” command was originally intended to be something that would be implemented in network cameras themselves, rather than in the “LIVE555 Proxy Server”. However, you could, in principle, add this functionality to the “LIVE555 Proxy Server” (or any LIVE555-based RTSP server); see<br> <a href="http://lists.live555.com/pipermail/live-devel/2020-February/021495.html" target="_blank">http://lists.live555.com/pipermail/live-devel/2020-February/021495.html</a><br><br>However, the system that you describe seems rather complex. You’re also omitting the HTTP server that would use the output from the “LIVE555 HLS Proxy” (or perhaps that is part of your “[App]”??). It would be much simpler to just to do the following (ignoring the ‘OpenVPN’s):<br> [IP cam RTSP]-->[Live555 HLS proxy][HTTP server]—[Home firewall]<-[App]<br>or<br> [IP cam RTSP]-->[Live555 HLS proxy]—[Home firewall]--[HTTP server]<-[App]<br><br>I.e., Don’t implement any intermediate RTSP server at all; instead, have the “LIVE555 HLS Proxy” read directly from the IP camera. If you do this, then your problem becomes either:<br>1/ Figure out how to access the HTTP server from across your firewall (if you run your HTTP server inside your firewall), or<br>2/ Figure out how to make the HLS segments+“.m3u8” file accessible across your firewall (if you run your HTTP server outside your firewall). I.e., in this case you could either transfer the HLS segments+“.m3u8” file across your firewall dynamically, or somehow make the file system directory (that contains the HLS segments+“.m3u8” file) accessible to the HTTP server outside your firewall, e.g., using some file/directory sharing protocol (like NFS).<br><br>Either of these solutions seems simpler than messing with an intermediate RTSP server/proxy (that implements “REGISTER”).<br><br><br>Ross Finlayson<br>Live Networks, Inc.<br><a href="http://www.live555.com/" target="_blank">http://www.live555.com/</a><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>live-devel mailing list<br><a href="mailto:live-devel@lists.live555.com" target="_blank">live-devel@lists.live555.com</a><br><a href="http://lists.live555.com/mailman/listinfo/live-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.live555.com/mailman/listinfo/live-devel</a><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
