Hello everybody,
When I try and view the stream through VLC or any other method through this url, the CYCLE does not work. In UI3 it works no problem. Am I doing something wrong?


I have also tried the following only because I noticed in UI3 when you goto the cycle group it does %40 instead of @. I have gone through the manual and it seems to me I am doing it correctly but it just isnt working. It just shows the whole group with no cycle.


Thank you

Put BI's port number after the server IP, colon and before /h264 such as:

Code:
http://192.168.200.250:81/h264......etc., etc.

Same thing no difference. It connects but its the main group view and does not cycle

looks like your using temp.h264 not temp.ts. Can you try it with the .ts??

temp.h264 is a h.264 stream

where

temp.ts is a mpeg-2 stream which is compatible with more devices
I tried as below and 1) no auto-cycle, showed all 3 cams in the "dogs" group and 2) after 10 seconds, VLC froze, had to terminate VLC with cntl-alt-del.
Same result when auto-cycle "@" omitted.

Code:
http://192.168.200.250:81/h264/@dogs/temp.ts&user=BI-username&pw=BI-password
Now this works OK in VLC:

Code:
http://192.168.200.250:81/mjpg/@dogs/video.mjpg&user=BI-username&pw=BI-password

so you agree its a bug with the temp.ts?

I didn't perform exhaustive testing so no, I cannot say for sure, but....VLC does state it can play MPEG-2 files here.
oh VLC plays it just doesn't cycle on the feed. Not VLC specific. I don't actually use the feed for VLC I am just using that to test it.

no cycle on temp.ts
cycle on video.mjpg

The problem is the player I use these urls with only works with the format temp.ts spits out. It does not work with video.mjpg. But would be good to have a feed that cycles.

To update the thread. Ken replied.

The cycle was forgotten to be added to the TS streams.

Ken said its been added to the TO DO list
