RTSP stream¶
The RTSP extension serves the currently captured One-KVM video as a standard RTSP stream for VLC, PotPlayer, ffplay, ffmpeg, and monitoring systems. No separate RTSP program is required.
Running RTSP locks the selected video codec. Starting or saving is rejected when RustDesk or VNC uses an incompatible codec.
Configuration¶
| Item | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Start at boot | Start the RTSP service with the system | Off |
| Listen address | Local IP; 0.0.0.0 listens on all IPv4 addresses |
0.0.0.0 |
| Port | RTSP listening port | 8554 |
| Stream path | Path portion of the RTSP URL | live |
| Codec | H.264 or H.265, compatible with the video output |
H.264 |
| Single client | Allow only one streaming client | On |
| Username | Leave empty to disable authentication | Empty |
| Password | Used with the username for RTSP Basic authentication | Empty |
The listen address must be a single IP address, not an address with a port such as 127.0.0.1:8554.
Steps¶
- Open Settings -> Extensions -> Third-party -> RTSP stream.
- Set the address, port, path, codec, and optional credentials.
- Click Save, then Start.
- Copy the URL from RTSP URL preview. Stop the service before changing a running configuration.
Pull the stream¶
You can also add the network stream URL in PotPlayer or VLC.
