Hi I am able to stream video successfully from my IP Camera with VLC using the URL: rtsp://192.168.0.6:554/cam/realmonitor
When attempting to use FFMPEG it is failing with the following errors: I have attached successful VLC comms and also the conversation of the failing FFMPEG comms.
How can i make FFMPEG behave like VLC to successfully capture the stream?
Thank you in advance for any assistance
