Continuing from my very old post (ignore specifics--behaviors/logs old/useless)
I want to use Blue Iris as an RTSP server and Channels as the client -- using Custom Channels. VLC plays all of the BI streams. But Channels only plays some of them and errors on others.
the URI are like rtsp://10.0.0.10:81/shortname
shortname can be an individual camera or multiple cameras in one feed
I'm using Source Text Like
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="BI-SN1-rtsp" channel-number="0.006" tvc-guide-title="SN1 RTSP" tvc-guide-description="SN1 RTSP" tvc-guide-placeholders="false" tvg-logo="https://jeremy.kister.net/images/blueiris.png" tvg-name="SN1RTSP",SN1RTSP
rtsp://10.0.0.10:81/shortname
Channels plays all of my individual cameras fine but cannot play any of my multi-camera feeds. I cant find glaring issues/differences in any of the feeds.
the multi-camera streams last for ~3 seconds and then stop (spinny circle followed by "Reconnecting..." and then eventually "Remux running: xxx" but the feed never begins again)
I used ffmpeg (using same binary/parameters Channels uses) to generate files from the multi-camera streams and then imported those files as Videos-- Channels can play them.
I am aware BI can also serve h264 via m3u8 but that doesn't work either (for a separate issue I'm already working with BI about).
@tmm1 @maddox Is there more I can do to troubleshoot this? I can hook you remote access to my feeds if you'd like to try directly.
EDIT/UPDATE: I just realized the issue is only on the web interface. I saw my BI streams were broken on my TV (via FireTV) and then started making m3u changes and testing on the web interface-- and never went back to see if it worked on TV, which i just tried, and it works. So this isnt as big a deal for me since I don't use the web interface much. Still an issue though.
