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](http://amherst.com) and got the Http:// url for the same camera [http://facttech:Automation@10.10.17.XXX/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?channel=0&subtype=1](http://facttech:Automation@10.10.17.XXX/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?channel=0&subtype=1) (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. ![img1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/2/02ad4d6a3141dea8fbcad8e9067a1aef3e4de95b.jpeg) ![img 2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/f/df6520690fed9fc6d1d91b85e0bbfbfb2ce34797.png) ![img3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/8/68c545cf312b70b585fd96dd9c06ee40042a55c4.png) ---

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. ---

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](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](http://10.10.17.XXX/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?channel=1&subtype=1). Do you have any solution to pass this authentication ---

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.
