Will someone please post a sample link on how to add a camera. I have a Reolink 410 with the ip of 192.168.1.25. The login is admin and the pw is XXXXXXX.
thanks,
Joe
Here is an entry for one of my Dahua cameras accessed through an NVR.

I'd suggest looking here for your Reolink camera to get the rtsp url - https://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=Reolink

You selected HLS in the M3U setup but this is not an hls stream

why is it trying to point to 192.168.1.23?
It's not pointing anywhere. That's the IP you're watching from.
Did you change to MPEGTS in the m3u settings?
yes
Okay please submit diagnostics
ba60da9b-12ad-4ce7-8dc4-db4f59a60f89
Does it work in VLC?
Seems like wrong password issue.

I spent quite a while trying to add my Reolink 4K cameras as custom channels. I finally narrowed it down to this at the end of the rtsp address:
Change
h264Preview_01_main
To
h264Preview_01_sub
...and now it works.
The Reolink documentation says that “main” is the “mainstream” and “sub” is the “substream,” which is lower quality. I really had absolutely no idea what I was doing, so I just tried tweaking all kinds of things until I figured this out.

I'm currently trying to add my doorbell camera (LaView branded), but running into issues. The rtsp url below is working fine within VLC. Anyone has any advice?
Stream format - MPEG-TS

This seems to indicate tuner sharing has gone off the rails.

EDIT 1/27/2021:
Figured out the issue. Windows was blocking ffmpeg. I was able to explicitly grant access for the user account and all is good now.
This is a fantastic feature. Thanks for all of your work!

Does anyone have any advice on the issue I am having trying to connect to my Laview camera (LV-PB3040WC). I can connect just fine using VLC.

I am able to get the live feed sometimes, but its very scrambled when it does work.
Tried a few different camera settings, but it only seems to work when turn the resolution way down. This camera is hardwired so the connection should be good.
