Hi,

Is is possible to display a RTSP stream in Dashboard?

Thanks

Bruno

The policy on video streaming is: Make it work in a web browser.

There is no built-in support for video streaming in DashBoard but most modern web browsers have some ability to handle streaming video. The trick is to get video working on a web page and then use the `
` tag to import the web page into DashBoard.

Thanks James. I'm able to playback a RTSP VLC stream into my browser and it works fine. However, when i load this page into Dashboard, I get a white screen. any idea? I tried with IE, Firefox and chrome, and same results.

Thanks

Several possible ideas:

1. On windows, you will be using Internet Explorer inside of DashBoard so that's the one to focus on

2. When Compatibility Mode is enabled by default (and this can cause some problems with more advanced browser features). Make sure your page is disabling compatibility mode by using ``

3. If the page is completely white, are you sure DashBoard is pointing to the correct page? Try including a bit of text around the embedded video to see if that shows up in DashBoard.

Hi James,

I was able to figure out the problem. I had to chnage my implementation.

However, I noticed that VLC is not that stable with Dashboard. I tried the Quicktime plugins and it is much much better.

Thanks
