Motioneye: RTSP-No connection

[andre1000]

I have a problem with the connection of a IP-cam via rtsp protocol.
The connection with VLC with
rtsp://192.168.x.x:554/onvif1
works fine.

When I use the same address in motion I become the following message:

• netcam_start: Network Camera thread starting... for url (rtsp://192.168.x.x:554/onvif1)
• netcam_rtsp_open_context: Using tcp transport
• netcam_rtsp_open_context: unable to open input(rtsp://192.168.x.x:554/onvif1): Invalid data found when processing input

A other rtsp cam works fine with motion
Thanks,
André

This is a motion-related issue and cannot be fixed or worked around by motionEye.

I have the same problem. I have motion working with one cam perfectly. TP-Link NC250. As soon as I change the ip to the other cam I receive all the same errors than you. Both cams are the same, and both work on vlc with the same kind of url. rtsp://user:pass@host:554/h264_hd.sdp
Any advice?
Thanks!

same problem here: rtsp://192.168.111.218:554/onvif1
works fine under vlc.
returns "Invalid data found when processing input" under motion.
it's most likely some missing library.
camera is Digoo DG M1Q.

@asquelt see this for details on how to report this to motion.

add
rtsp_uses_tcp off

in motion.conf to force udp transport

@dbk3r : Thx so much ! This solved my issue with motion and my SRICAM SP009 !

add
rtsp_uses_tcp off

in motion.conf to force udp transport

Solved for me to for SRICAM SP017! Thanks!! In my case I just added this param to this IPCAM (and not entire motion config).

Thx! solved it for a Besder (Yoosee 6024PW-JW201) as this cam only works with UDP.

1. Find the cam config file, it should be something like this: /data/etc/thread-X.config
2. add: rtsp_uses_tcp off
3. Reboot SO.

You have to add that line to the ipcam config.
