Hi everyone,

I got the below error while trying to play Live TV RTSP stream (via ffmpeg):

"Error, could not open file rtsp://192.168.1.2/stream3.0"

Kodi 18 Leia Beta 4 x64 Windows.

Mediaportal 2.2pre TV Server.

Note-1: opening the URL on vlc works.

Note-2: My InputStream add-ons have been installed - I have both InputStream Adaptive 2.3.3 & RTMP Input 2.0.4

Note-3: TsReader works but it does buffering all the time.

DETAILS.

Update - TSReader works "acceptably" well while in RTSP mode (it streamed two 1080p streams over the wireless without too much stuttering), so I believe I am going to stick to TSReader+RTSP for as long as it works
