Is it latency sensitive? If not I’d just do something like: ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://50.202.216.100:554/media/video1 -c:v copy -c:a copy -f mpegts udp://127.0.0.1:1234
It is not that latency sensitive, but I would prefer to not use anything outside Caspar, as it should run 24/7 (more or less) and the guy operating it does not know too much…
But, if that does not work, I probably can run FFMPEG from my client program, so that it gets restarted whenever he restarts the software.
In my experience CCG will easily crash on interuptions to streams like RTSP, while with UDP playing in CCG you can easily start/stop the external ffmpeg process and it will continue playing just fine in CCG.
I think the real issue with that RTSP stream is that CCG is trying to access it over UDP but it’s only available over TCP, that could be an issue with the configuration of the camera or a firewall only allowing TCP to 554 and not TCP and UDP.
