Problem with playing H265 in Edge browser

[pascalgeusen]

Hello,

I have installed go2rtc in a Docker container on Synology nas. I have added the RTSP streams in de config file. When I open a stream I see a still image but no live feed.

When using the same RTSP stream in VCL Player the video feed is working just fine.

streams:
  stream1:
    - rtsp://user:[email protected]:80/rtsp/streaming?channel=01&subtype=1
    - hls:stream1.m3u8`

What do I have to setup/change?

[AlexxIT]

Check stream probe from go2rtc WebUI

[pascalgeusen]

OK. When I check the probe from the WebUI. What should I look for?

[AlexxIT]

Just post it here

[pascalgeusen]

OK

Well. H265 videos may indeed not always work well in the browser. It all depends on the browser and the quality of the stream.
Do you see a real camera shot or a black screen?

[pascalgeusen]

I am using most updated version of Edge on Windows 11.
What I see is a real camera shot.

I do not need H265. I just want to convert the RTSP to a stream that I can display in a website. Any format is OK by me.

[AlexxIT]

You can change H265 to H264 in your camera settings. Or use transcoding via ffmpeg source (check go2rtc docs).

[pascalgeusen]

I changed the camera settings to H264 and it is working now. Thank you very much.

[pana800]

You can change H265 to H264 in your camera settings. Or use transcoding via ffmpeg source (check go2rtc docs).

In case the camera has no such setting. Can we convert the stream to H264 or any IOS compatible format?

[AlexxIT]

The answer is in the sentence which you quoted.
