Hi, I’ve played with the rtsp with another IP cam and it works fine. However, today, I have another IP cam which I can see the stream in vlc player, but not in video-viewer… (Note: I use the same string of calling the IP cam) I have read the forum and tried to add --input-codec=h264 or --input-codec=h265 Btw, I didn’t use any proxy. I have also tried video-viewer --input-codec=h264 rtsp://192.168.50.3:554/user=…&password=…&channel=1&stream=0.sdp? (same for vlc player) I have attached the codec info (h264 and h265) from vlcplayer, may I know if there is any code modification I shall do? Or any codec I shall add? And how to add the codec? Thx ![vlc_264](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/3X/a/2/a257fa397bca7d06f9039772a53dd17359b31fa3.jpeg) ![vlc_265](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/3X/1/7/170130a55f267236ccd0a7df38f06a21834e220b.jpeg) ![nx_264](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/3X/1/8/18230126e8311d9d17f66ab9c70b1d04a85c637d.jpeg) ![nx_fail](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/3X/b/b/bb71e6558f99f943d5908722767d0cb929db786d.jpeg) ---

Hi, Please check if it works with _uridecodebin_: ```auto $ gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri='rtsp://_RTSP_URI_' ! nvoverlaysink ``` ---

No, ERROR: from element/GstPipeline:pipleline0… But if I use openCV, I can see the video though. ![gst](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/3X/5/6/56a076846f73d4ed5d841093f2cd9fd747f9abaf.jpeg) ![opencv](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/3X/2/9/2907c1c9c53cd901b03298fb34cab37b5f0fc33f.jpeg) ---

Hi, Please put URI in `'` `'` and give it a try: ```auto uri='rtsp://_RTSP_URI_' ``` ---

if I type gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin url=‘…’ ! autovideosink, there is a video window pops up. Where shall I modify the code so that the detectnet.py will work? Thx ---

Hi, If you can see preview through _autovideosink_. The source should work.

Hi, I have tried for 2 days… no luck This command works and I can see the pop up window video (gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=‘rtsp://_RTSP\_URI_’ ! nvoverlaysink) But this command does not work video-viewer --input-codec=h264 rtsp://192.168.50.3:554/user=…&password=…&channel=1&stream=0.sdp? There is an error of “gststreamer rtspsrc0 ERROR Could not get/set settings from/on resources”. When I google it, this error is related to gst-launch (but I have no problem with gst-launch, only the video-viewer and detectnet…) Here is the youtube for a better explanation [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/3X/4/1/41ca96212c19e809d9c19ea298186670a09d11cb.jpeg "Jetson RTSP problem") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVung1DwuEg) ---

Hi @AK51, sorry I am not sure what the issue is with this particular camera. `uridecodebin` doesn’t use the hw-accelerated decoder, which is why I don’t use it. Lower in your log, it says `Server can not provide an SDP`, so I think it is related to rtspsrc somehow. If you go higher in the log, you will see the exact GStreamer pipeline printed out that jetson.utils runs. I would take that and replace the `appsink` with a display element, and try running it with gst-launch-1.0 and tweaking it until it works. That will let you know what needs to be changed in the code. ---

Thanks. It is good to know what the problem is. After 4hours of trial and error, I found a solution. :\> It is the problem of the rtsp string, but it is funny why vlc player works but not gstStreamer, anyway… python3 video-viewer.py --input-rtsp-latency=0 rtsp://192.168.50.3:554/user=user\_password=password&channel=1&stream=0.sdp? Youtube as a proof (Tt is like magic. Ha) [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/3X/4/9/49bc3d23a6ed69503c6e96a9d038a2c293dd58e8.jpeg "Jetson RTSP works") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fceB9VDeBJI) ---
