If I use "-c:v libx264" it works on iPhone If I use "-c:v copy" it does not play on iPhone. It just flashes the first picture or either just plays black screen.

I am using FFMPEG to take the RTSP from uniview cameras and turn it into HLS. When I encode the rtsp to libx264 it will play on iPhones. BUT... When I copy the rtsp rather than encoding it... it won't play on iPhones. I just plays black. This is ONLY with uniview.... with all other...

Thank you! I really appreciate your time! Thanks for writing all that out. When I replaced libx264 with copy it make the CPU performance amazing! I think it also helped me get on the right path toward solving an issue we have an uniview rtsp now playing on iOS. Thanks again.

Thank you so much! You are right the encoding was the problem!

Yep, I have confirmed it a few times. If I use "-c:v libx264" it works on ios If I use "-c:v copy" it does not play on ios. It just flashes the first picture or either just plays black screen. Any ideas?

Wow! Ok, thank you guys so much! I think you may have helped us on the right path to resolving an issue that has been a pain for a long time! We have a platform that restream rtsp to HLS... The only problem is Uniview cameras won't work on iOS. It just flashes the first picture then goes...

Thank you all so much! I am going to study these posts and make some changes. Just FYI for anyone who happens on to this thread in the future... I am attaching an image of the camera settings.

Thanks for the replies! Here is the command I am running. This is running on a small VPS. Latest versions of Ubunutu, Apache, & FFMPEG. This command takes up 60-70% of the CPU! This is just streaming one camera from RTSP to HLS. Any tips? ffmpeg -i...

Is anyone in here good at FFMPEG? I have a command that takes rtsp and streams it to HLS but... The CPU performance is horrible. I wonder if that is just the way it is... or if it is possible to tune it and make it perform well. Trying to stream multiple cams via hls on a vps...

Hello, take a look at this image from the encode settings page of my Dahua NVR. Anyone know why the I-Frame Interval settings are greyed out? The cameras are connected to the built in POE on the NVR so i cannot login straight into the camera to check the settings with out unhooking the camera...

Sorry! I just found that the NVR does not have the Iframe Int setting BUT when I log right into the camera it is there. Do you have any suggestions about the Iframe Int setting? Our HLS is having artifacts behind motion. By default the Iframe Int is dobule the FPS. What would you suggest...

Help! We run the rtsp from Dahua cameras through our custom built streaming server which turns the RTSP into HLS for display on all devices. Has worked great for 2 years but now with the latest Dahua nvr and cameras we have ghosting / artifacts behind motion. I notice that there is no setting...

Bump. Anyone know how to configure this VPN so that I can access the cameras on my local network over my server via "local network ip"? I can ping from the client up to the server... but NOT down from the server to the client.

@streamnvr thank you so much! right now i am in the testing phase so locally where the camera is i am just using my windows pc with openvpn client installed. if it all works then instead of a windows pc for the vpn client.... at each client site i am going to have some typeo of linux...
