Perspective video Player component

pranjali.ramtekkar March 15, 2021, 11:00pm 1

reading at the older post. I believe the video player component in perspective cannot make the rstp:// link
work to display the camera .

I used amherst.com and got the Http:// url for the same camera

(I deleted the last 3 digits of my ip address here). i can view the camera with the above url on my web browser. But when I enter the same url in the source prop of the video component , the live feed is errored out.

Can you please let me know if there is some mistake I am doing it in a process. or if there is anyother way I can access the live feed.

What about in an actual session? If I remember correctly, the Designer is not able to play videos, so the real spot you should check is the session.

It’s possible the session can play things the Designer can’t, but for the apps I’ve done so far the live video streams do display in Designer as well.

No, I don’t see it running either on session or on designer.

I got the video running on session now. But when I enter a username and password in the url . live streaming doesnt work. http://username:password@10.10.17.XXX/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?channel=1&subtype=1

the reason I need the username and password working is because when I open another browser the live stream of the camera in the session says “error loading media”.But it works with http://10.10.17.XXX/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?channel=1&subtype=1.

Do you have any solution to pass this authentication

Have you tried using https instead of http?

pranjali.ramtekkar March 16, 2021, 7:57pm 7

Yes I tried https.
I tried entering the port after the ip address 10.10.17.XXX:80

Nothing works

I tried HTTP binding. But getting error HTTP/1.1. 401 unauthorized error

I am experiencing the same issue... the source path works in a web browser (showing live stream), but not in a Perspective session in the Video Player. It just shows Error Loading Media: File not valid.
