Rob, maybe it is helpful to know that rtsp is just a protocol to transmit technical parameters like resolution or used codec. The data itself is transmitted via the rtp protocol. I just downloaded the current release 5.01 build for Windows x64 (gyan.dev) and used ffplay to play various rtsp URLs (Reolink, unknown chinese OEM vendor, v4l2rtspserver, vlc acting as server). Worked perfectly. Unfortunately there is a great variety of possible URLs. Every security cam vendor has a diiferent opinion. Thats the reason I asked for a generic input string. There is little to be gained by wrapping this up in a menu. I do not know how this translates into an API call inside your indi webcam driver, but I hope for working solution. Thank you very much already.
