I have what I guess is a low-end D-Link IP camera. For some reason I will probably never completely understand, the camera's video stream has no audio, and the audio is provided on a different stream. D-Link provides some software that makes this transparent to the end user, but it gets harder with third party software and Kodi is no exception.
The streams are:
http://user:pass@<cam_address>/VIDEO.CGI (MJPG 320x240 YUV 4:2:2)
http://user:pass@<cam_address>/AUDIO.CGI (PCM s16l Mono 8000Hz 16bit)
Both of these work just fine independently if placed on .strm files in Kodi.
I suppose the feature request would be for Kodi to be able to open each stream and play them at the same time. I understand there may be some sync issues but other than having buffers of the same duration (maybe configurable) I would not expect any great effort on that side. There's always the manual audio delay option.
As a test, I tried opening both streams in separate VLCs and without taking any measures to help it the sync is not perfect, but acceptable.
Thanks for such a great piece of software.
