RTSP not working

[wolfgang-stark]

Hi

I replaced one playlist entry using a rtsp url (cable tv stream from avm fritzbox router).

Plex home theater says "unrecognized file format"

In the IPTV log I found the following line:

2016-11-19 15:22:42,089 (10950a000) : DEBUG (services:618) - No matching services found for 'rtsp://192.168.178.254:554/?freq=322&bw=8&msys=dvbc&mtype=256qam&sr=6900&specinv=0&pids=0,16,17,18,20,100,1279,1104,1280,1285,4614'

Playlist:

#EXTINF:0 tvg-id="Dummy" tvg-name="Sky TG24" tvg-logo="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/91/SKY_TG24.png" group-title="Italian",Sky TG24 (rtmp) rtsp://192.168.178.254:554/?freq=322&bw=8&msys=dvbc&mtype=256qam&sr=6900&specinv=0&pids=0,16,17,18,20,100,1279,1104,1280,1285,4614

Can confirm, i have (almost) the same device and get the same error.

The only difference is that i use the AVM WLAN repeater instead of the router, the tuner and protocol should be the same.

I think it used to work but when i tried again it just didn't work anymore. I am not sure if it was the Plex version, the IPTV plugin version or a combination of both (just using an older version of the plugin doesn't fix it). I tried with different Plex players and with different settings (direct play).

hey @f3doraco,

I think the bug is caused by the "HTTPLiveStreamURL" (plex) method. Maybe plex provides a "RTSPVideoURL" method.

Does plex provide a documentation?

Nope, no documentation, no RTSPVideoURL method.

The rtsp stream works with VLC and ffmpeg by the way.

As of version 2.0.x it is possible to define specific protocol with some advanced attributes, however according to Plex Framework RTSP is not a valid option, possible options are DASH, HTTP, HLS and RTMP.
