Trying to connect to two different cameras (PanV2 and regular V2) RTSP stream using VLC. Keep getting a failure to connect message no matter what I try. Seems like configuration of the cameras should be pretty straight forward and work without issues. What am I doing wrong? Trying to access via this string: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:8554/unicast (tried the other variations as well) but can never get a connection. Here is the configuration of one of the cameras (ignore the RTSP_AUTH_DISABLE setting, I've tried it both ways). The error from VLC is connection refused.

Are you using the VLC package installed through Debian packages by chance? If so the Debian VLC package does not contain the RTSP playback libraries included. More info here https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=157795. I know this because I spent 2 hours trying to get RTSP streaming to work and finally moved to a different OS and tested and it worked instantly. |

It's not a vlc problem. Works with the Pan V2 and the regular V2 but other apps cannot connect to the V2. |

From the readme... (I initially had the same problem.) -- the singular stream will be located at Either disable the sub-stream for the single stream unicast only url, or specify the video sources accordingly for using both streams. |

I've tried all that. Single stream, multiple stream, auth disabled, still get connection refused. |

If you are using the latest release, in the logs folder, do you see v4l2rtspserver.log? |

Hard to say, if you're running a lim8x box I would recommend taking a look at zoneminder as your NVR. I am a part of the zm team, I am rewriting the AI/ML for object detection. I'd need more info on the v2cs as I assumed all v2's were the same? ZoneMinder handles the wyze stock rtsp and the wzfmini firmware perfectly fyi. |

Running MotionEye on a Pi4 right now, just for testing so no ZM. The V2 I'm testing is fairly new. I can test on a PanV1 if that hardware is the same as the V2. Otherwise, I need to pull-out one of my older V2s for testing. Update: Pan V1 works fine. Installed the hack and RTSP works correctly. Going try reloading on the V2. |

Just noticed something unexpected. The RTSP stream is live even when the camera shows as off in the Wyze App. Noticed this on my Pan V2 while testing other cameras. Is this an expected behaviour? I know that the camera doesn't really shut off but I didn't expect live video from RTSP when the app shows the camera as off. |

we intercept the video before it's post-processed by iCamera. The only options in the app that modify the rtsp video should be: on screen display, orientation, and night mode. rtsp audio and video are always on |

Zm runs on pi's, I would get a usb TPU for AI/ML though. |

I finally found the problem. I have another camera from Amcrest that was grabbing the same IP address for its wireless connection, even though I had wifi disabled on the camera. It wasn't showing in my DHCP leases, it was just grabbing the IP from memory and activating it. |
