Hi!
I’m trying to play a stream from an axis cam in kodi. I already created a .strm file with the correct rtsp-url in it, but it won’t work.
Here is the log:
13:16:50 15310.084961 T:1756361792 NOTICE: Creating Demuxer

I can get it to work in VLC as long as I activate the rtsp over http tunnel.
How can I do the same in kodi?
I tried some random rtsp stream in kodi, that doesn’t need the tunneling and it worked instantly.
I also tried directly over “http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@IP…” which works in my chrome browser. Then the kodi logs say that I get a 401 error “Authentication Failed”, so somehow it doesn’t use the username and password provided.
I already searched for hours on google and tried everything I could find, but nothing helped so far. Also I found nothing about how to do “rtsp over http” on kodi/openelec.
Thanks for your help!
