RTSP

   Some common issues with the RTSP service include:

My player won’t connect to RTSP streams.

• Your player may not be compatible. Ensure that the destination player supports Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP).

I’ve verified that my player supports RTSP, but the stream still won’t connect.

• There may be a URL formatting issue. If you have customized the stream link parameters in the URL, ensure that the URL matches the following format:
  rtsp://@ip_address[:port]/videnc[_audenc][?param1=value1&param2=value2, ...]

  • ip_address is the IPv4 address of the Makito encoder hosting the RTSP service,

  • rtsp_port is optional and only needs to be specified if the rtsp server port is not set to the default 554,

  • videnc is mandatory and specifies the ID of an H.264 or H.265 video encoder on the Makito (from the 0-3 range),

    audenc is optional to include audio in the rtsp stream and specifies the ID of an audio encoder (from the 0-3 range).

I’m having issues configuring my stream parameters.

• Your customized stream parameters may be incorrect or outside the valid range. Ensure that the RTSP stream parameters meet the following criteria:

  • tos = 0x00 to 0xFF (for hex) or 0 to 255

  • ttl = 1 to 255

  • mtu = 232 to 1500

  • mcast_addr = A valid multicast address

  • mcast_port = A valid multicast port
