Hello!
I have a IP-camera, that I can view in VLC just by entering the rtsp/IP like this "rtsp://10.0.0.226". I tried to show it in Ignition using the video player, but it didn't work. Is there a way of doing this?
Thanks!
Ignition does not support the rtsp protocol. @pturmel has a module capable of using this protocol I believe.
Not unless the stream is available in some other format than RTSP, which generally isn't supported in browsers now that the days of insecure plugins like Flash and ActiveX have come to an end.
I'm not sure whether he has a module or not, but another solution would be to use something like ffmpeg to consume the live stream and have it convert to something like h.264 on the fly.
(I think this is possible?)
Consuming RTSP from security cameras is the primary use of my Image Streamer module. This is done in the gateway, via OpenCV and FFmpeg, yielding MJPEG for use by Ignition.
The module is a CPU hog.
Yes, FFmpeg can do this, with a bunch of arcane configuration.

My HomeAssistant install has a plugin/extension utilizing this and it works well.
