Hi,

trying to read a rtsp stream with a build of xbmc-git (from 20121124) and the support seams to be broken.

from what I understand, the embedded ffmpeg (avformat )is supposed to take care of this,but here are the messages I find in the logfile:

20:06:20 T:2960304960 WARNING: CreateLoader - Unsupported protocol(rtsp) in rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&service=919&flavour=ld

20:06:20 T:2960304960 ERROR: Exists - Error checking for rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&service=896&flavour=ld



anyone having the same issue?
do I have to specify some compilation option?

you need librtmp-dev (on debian like distros) installed and --enable-rtmp as configure switch

Hi,

yes actually this is the case.
the librtmp headers are present and xbmc is configured with the -enable-rtmp switch
[alex@tv xbmc-git]$ ls /usr/include/librtmp/
amf.h http.h log.h rtmp.h

Distro I am using is Arch.

I was under the impression that rtmp and rtsp are not the same kind of stream.

regards
Alex

My inverstigation goes on.

It appears that the messages

20:06:20 T:2960304960 WARNING: CreateLoader - Unsupported protocol(rtsp) in rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&service=919&flavour=ld

appear when listing the rtsp streams inside a m3u playlist.
Nevertheless, the list of streams is shown and when trying to play one :

codecs for the stream are H264 for video and mp4a for audio.....

any ideas?

OK my bad.

I had the firewall blocking the stream......
