rtsp://<dme_ip_address:5544>/vbStream1S1
Regardless of the server used, playing stored content uses an RTSP URL pointing to the file
in the this format:
rtsp://<dme_ip_address:port>/<filename>
The RTP server can play files containing a variety of codecs, though it is recommended only
for stored content. Again, the port does not need identification unless it has been changed
from the default 554. An example URL would be:
rtsp://<dme_ip_address>/myfile.mov
In StreamPlayer, enter the full RTSP URL in the IP Address field:
Play a Multicast RTP Stream
You can play multicast RTP streams using an SDP file. An .sdp file is a text file that provides
descriptive information about the stream and gives the user's computer instructions for
tuning in. In one case (In-8), the SDP file must be manually FTPed to the DME. For other
live use cases or stored streams, the SDP file is automatically created on the RTP or RTMP
VOD server. To play streams with an SDP file you will use a URL similar to the following:
http://<dme_ip_address>/mystream.sdp
In QuickTime or VLC you open the player and point to the .sdp file. In StreamPlayer you
must enter the complete path to the file in the IP Address field and then click
Play
.
Play an HLS Stream
HLS streams are typically played on iPhones and other iOS devices using an HTTP URL. The
HTTP URL syntax is shown below. HLS streams can be played directly from the source
DME or a local caching DME. Use the local DME name if it is configured to cache from the
source DME.
To play live non-adaptive HLS streams you will use a URL similar to the following:
http://<dme_ip_address>/HLS/<stream_name>/ playlist.m3u8
To play live adaptive HLS streams you will use a URL similar to the following:
