How do I play an rtsp Stream ?!

[Robert Henschel]

For example: rtsp://213.200.72.253/farm/*/encoder/tagesschau/live1high.rm

(streams real media of german TV news)

Is this supposed to work with WarpVision? or not supported?

It works, just use the rtsp-stream-url as command-line-argument for video2.exe

It may not work all the time, it's important to try a few times. Using "pause" or "fast forward" may end with SIGSEGV.

It's not perfect, it's 'stop and go' instead of stream, but with the latest enhancements (after 1.0.1) the stops are quite short.

You have to compile from sources (I'm still waiting for a positive (or negative) feedback for my WarpVisionBuildHowTo ;-) ) or wait for the next release or write me a mail.

Second (and better working) possibility for "Tageschau" is to chose "Windows Media" instead of "Realvideo".

You can use

​http://www.fbakan.de/mimms/mimms-0.0.9.zip

to download the mms stream to disk and then video2 for viewing the movie. I just tested and it works.

There is a browser extension called MOZEX that can be used with SeaMonkey? (Mozex 1.07) or Firefox (Mozex 1.07.1) so as to configure the use of an external program (video2.exe) to be called for RTSP and MMS streams.
