Mpv: Start RTSP stream over SSH on RPi

[MrGlasspoole]

Hi,

i can't figure out how to start a RTSP stream over SSH on the monitor that is connected to the RPi.
With OMXPlayer all i have to do is:
omxplayer --no-keys --no-osd --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp rtsp://live1.brownrice.com:1935/westland/westland.stream --live -n -1 --timeout 30

mpv 0.23.0
Raspbian Stretch Lite, Kernel 4.14

mpv 0.23.0

Update

I will figure out how to do that.
But still i can't find out the command how to start the stream or a video.

mpv rtsp://live1.brownrice.com:1935/westland/westland.stream

I'm not quite sure what you even have an issue with.

First of all, you need build ffmpeg with support for rtsp and ssl. Examples:
--enable-gcrypt --enable-gnutls for GNU TLS
--enable-librtmp --enable-openssl for OpenSSL
--enable-librtmp --enable-libtls for LibreSSL
--enable-libssh for SFTP, I'm not sure if SSH needs it too...
etc.

Examples:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --arch=amd64 --cpu=amd64 --enable-gpl --enable-gcrypt --enable-gnutls --enable-libssh --disable-debug

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --arch=amd64 --cpu=amd64 --cc=gcc-8 --cxx=g++-8 --extra-ldflags="-L/usr/local/lib" --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-shared --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-librtmp --enable-libtls --enable-libssh --enable-opengl --enable-libpulse --disable-debug --enable-libass --enable-libbluray --enable-libcaca --enable-libcdio --enable-libvpx --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libopus --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-libxvid --enable-libzimg

etc

@Jj0YzL5nvJ as far as I'm aware, librtmp is unrelated to rtsp, isn't it?

Also we don't know what he's having issues with since he hasn't described his issue at all. It could be that his VO isn't working, but as I said again, we cannot know because he didn't post a log and even if he did it'd be of a severely out of date version. That's despite the issue template telling you to use the latest version and to post a log.

[Jj0YzL5nvJ]

Oops, you are right on librtmp, I reading to many things a the time (manga too) ...let's say it's not going to hurt =P
Building mpv against a ffmpeg without SSL support and/or without youtube-dl is relatively common (for newbies). Without a log we can only assume the worst possible scenario, and ffmpeg is root of many issues here, so... that was.

Edit:
I confused SSL with SSH too :man_facepalming:. In my defense I can only say that I have never used SSH :whistle:
