Hello everybody,
When I try and view the stream through VLC or any other method through this url, the CYCLE does not work. In UI3 it works no problem. Am I doing something wrong?


I have also tried the following only because I noticed in UI3 when you goto the cycle group it does %40 instead of @. I have gone through the manual and it seems to me I am doing it correctly but it just isnt working. It just shows the whole group with no cycle.


Thank you
 
Put BI's port number after the server IP, colon and before /h264 such as:

Code:
http://192.168.200.250:81/h264......etc., etc.
 
looks like your using temp.h264 not temp.ts. Can you try it with the .ts??

temp.h264 is a h.264 stream

where

temp.ts is a mpeg-2 stream which is compatible with more devices
I tried as below and 1) no auto-cycle, showed all 3 cams in the "dogs" group and 2) after 10 seconds, VLC froze, had to terminate VLC with cntl-alt-del.
Same result when auto-cycle "@" omitted.

Code:
http://192.168.200.250:81/h264/@dogs/temp.ts&user=BI-username&pw=BI-password

Now this works OK in VLC:

Code:
http://192.168.200.250:81/mjpg/@dogs/video.mjpg&user=BI-username&pw=BI-password

so you agree its a bug with the temp.ts?

I didn't perform exhaustive testing so no, I cannot say for sure, but....VLC does state it can play MPEG-2 files here.

oh VLC plays it just doesn't cycle on the feed. Not VLC specific. I don't actually use the feed for VLC I am just using that to test it.

no cycle on temp.ts
cycle on video.mjpg

The problem is the player I use these urls with only works with the format temp.ts spits out. It does not work with video.mjpg. But would be good to have a feed that cycles.
 
To update the thread. Ken replied.

The cycle was forgotten to be added to the TS streams.

Ken said its been added to the TO DO list
