RTSP URL Parameters
ip_address
- Typically, the RTSP servers use DHCP to obtain an IP address automatically. The servers usually provide a utility for detecting the server’s IP address. This can be in the usual IPv4 format (xx.xx.xx.xx), or it can be a valid host address accepted by the standard function
inet_addr
. For example, localhost is equivalent to 127.0.0.1. This is usually the IP address of the sending (server) computer. rtsp_port
(Optional)- The port number on which the server is listening for RTSP commands. The port must be a number from 1 to 65535. Port 554 is the default for RTSP.
username
/password
(Optional)- For servers that use authentication, you will need to add your username and a password as part of the RTSP URL.
server_URL
- Each RTSP server has its own relative server URL, so you need to consult the server’s manual to obtain it.
paramN=valN
(Optional)- Extra parameters on this context are server parameters which can be used to control compression, video size, etc. See the examples below for such parameters.
