VLC stream-output (sout) • Re: Configuring streaming with a Tapo Camera



It could be a couple of things.
1. You’ve configured the firewall to permit UDP from the camera -> your application but not from your application -> the camera. Some RTP stacks require RTCP data be sent back from the receiver to the camera to validate connectivity. VLC sends an empty RTCP response. Not ideal, but it generally works.
2. There’s a misconfigured router or VPN along the path between the camera and your application and it’s dropping large packets.

If you use wireshark (windows) or tcpdump (linux) to view what’s going on in the network, you’ll be able to see what’s going on in the network.
