RTSP Stream Says Playing But No Video

[LucasClarkson]

We're using the flaviostutz/rtsp-relay Docker container to stream an RTSP stream from an MP4 file. When trying this stream in the Flashphoner demo player, the status says it's playing, but there is no video. Occasionally, video will appear for a second or so, then freeze. I have tested the RTSP stream in VLC, which plays it with no problems. Server logs attached.

Any help is appreciated!

Good day.
Please collect a report as described here including traffic dump collected on the server side. Please note that traffic dump collection must be started before trying to play the stream in demo player. One minute should be enough. Then, send logs and traffic dump using this form

We're using the flaviostutz/rtsp-relay Docker container to stream an RTSP stream from an MP4 file.

Since build 5.2.902 it is possible to publish RTP stream from MP4 file via RTSP directly to WCS using ffmpeg, please read details here. In this case, you don't need third party RTSP server.

We received and checked your report.
Seems like there are some network issues (may be docker network misconfiguration). In the dump we see:
- a much of TCP retransmissions and dup ACK
- double packets from RTSP source: one with destination address of WCS instance (172.18.0.1) and another with destination address 127.0.0.1

So we recommend to fix this issues.
Also, WCS does not support more than 2 audio channels. So we recommend to publish 2 channels audio from your RTSP source.
