Improve RTSP Streaming support documentation on Windows

[mykr13A]

Describe the bug I use the FullscreenVideo player to stream a live video via Unity on Windows 10 but I cannot see the video. The stream is an rtmp stream. The codec of the video is H.264. I used both APIs Media Foundation and DirectShow. The Media Foundation API creates a white window, the video is not loaded and shows the error " Loading failed. File not found, codec not supported, video resolution too high or insufficient system resources". On the other side the DirectShow shows the error "Failed to open rtsp://.....". I didn't expect to play because the documentation says that it if for Windows 8 and below. How can I watch the video.?

Your Setup (please complete the following information):

• Unity version: 2019.4.14f1
• AVPro Video version: 1.11.7
• Operating system version: Windows 10
• Device model: Dell G5
• Video specs (resolution, frame-rate, codec, file size): ([email protected])

To Reproduce 1. 2. 3.

Hey @mykrana

RTMP isn't really supported by Windows natively - so will only work with Direct Show, and you'd have to install 3rd party filters, like the LAV Filters.

Let us know if you come right?

In my post I wrote rtmp but it is RTSP, so I woud like to correct it. I used Media Foundation API and now the video plays. I had to correct something in the color mapping of the video. However, the video is too late to start and it has 10s delay. I don't think that there is server's or rtsp stream's problem because when I watch the video on VLC player it has about 2s delay. Is there any case to fix it?

You could try ticking the 'low latency' option in Platform Specific > Windows and see if it makes a difference?

We could also take a look at your stream if you'd like to send us your URL to [email protected] (or your FFMPEG settings if you're making a local stream).

With the low latency option I can not see the video, just a gray image. The ffmpeg settings are "ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -framerate 25 -input_format yuyv422 -video_size 640x480 -fflags nobuffer -i /dev/video0 -c:v libx264 -tune zerolatency -crf 18 -vf format=yuvj420p -an -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:8554/mystream" The server that is being used is https://github.com/aler9/rtsp-simple-server
