Playing multiple video streams at once - OpenTAKServer - 2024-12-15 I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question but I'm developing an addon that can view RTSP streams from a security camera system. It's working fine but I was wondering if I could have multiple streams going at once like in professional security systems? Here's a picture of what I mean. ![]() RE: Playing multiple video streams at once - izprtxqkft - 2024-12-16 what you're looking for is called a Video Multiplexer, which Kodi doesn't do on it's own, you would need to multiplex then stream to Kodi https://www.versitron.com/blogs/post/all-important-questions-on-video-multiplexers-answered RE: Playing multiple video streams at once - OpenTAKServer - 2024-12-16 Thank you, that was the piece of information I was missing. Do you know of any software multiplexers, preferably open source?

Here's a security camera addon which might do what you want. Here's the link to the addon itself.

I had just remember this thread and thought it might be of use. Yeah, I wasn't trying to say it was a replacement for a professional security system . If that's what is needed then that's likely the best solution. If the ask is for Kodi to provide a real time view into multiple cameras then this might work. I haven't looked at the code for a while but does it allow you to select and stream from a specific camera if you see something interesting during the 1 second snapshots ? Thanks, Jeff |
