Hello; I'm not at all sure this is the right forum but didn't see my particular camera or software forum listed here. If this is in the wrong place, could a mod please move it to the proper one?

I'm new to using rtsp feeds and am having some difficulty with one of my three feeds. Seems simple enough and two of the cameras (cam 1=UW and a cam2=5MP) are seen but the third (cam3=2MP - same brand as the 5MP cam) won't open up. I have been using VMS software and know all 3 feeds are active and details re IP address and port. So, that doesn't seem to be my problem. Since Cam2 is working, I thought if Cam2 works, Cam3 would as well, even if a different model.



All are PoE cameras hooked up to a PoE injector. I'm using VMS, a vms software that came with my UW Barlus camera (cam1). Cam 2 and 3 are KingKong Smart security PoE cams. The version of VLC I'm using is v3.0.11 and I tried and earlier v2.2.8 with no better results. I'm on a Mac, using OSX 11



I notice on the error message (when I was getting one) it shows port 554 which is wrong via my VMS software and what is being used for the other two cameras on the system. When I've tried to 'open rtp stream' and input the correct port (which is supposed to be 34567), I can see it tries and fails to connect.



Anyway, I input the rtsp IP and get an error message. Going to 'Messages'/log, I can see the process is hanging at



macosx debug: Enabling media key support



where it just stays for too long to wait (I stopped at 10 minutes). Since I don't get the error message window, I'm assuming VLC is doing something but since this is NOT how it's working with the 5MP cam, I figure something is going wrong. Any help with this?

I've posted in the VLC forums but have received zero response, so hoping some of the gurus here can help me understand what's going on.

I've copied the log of the one NOT working below, in case it's needed.
