Video Widget stopped working on Version 2.28.7

Issues and Errors

However, when I copy the URL and paste it into the chrome browser on the same very phone everything works great…

@arkhipenko I’m testing with this next link: https://iihrwc03.iowa.uiowa.edu/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=704x480 - does it work on your side?

12

Also have you tried to leave beta channel and install 2.27.28 version?

13

Yep, and that version works on my device

14

So can you use 2.27.28 ? 2.28.x has not been meant to be a stable branch, I will fix it later when there will be time for it.

15

Yes I can.
However, the beta design was more appealing… :frowning_face:

16

There are no changes in design between 2.27.x and 2.28.x. Only different video streaming libraries and enabled logs.

17

I’ve added new 2.28.9 versions with FFmpeg-based video streaming

Hi, my rtsp stream not working now… Does the streaming url stay the same or do I need to change it?

19

Your device model?

Have you tried to enable or disable “force tcp”?

20

Hi, Thankyou for your advice. I have tried both setting however still not working… Here is the details of the camera.

The streaming url is

rtsp://ipaddress:portNo./user=admin_password=password_channel=1_stream=1.sdp?real_stream

21

also and the same thing happened to me, Video Streaming no longer works

22

I just sent the logs from version beta 2.28.9

23

Have you tried a not beta version app from 2.27.x branch? It differs from beta only in video support, as beta is mostly for investigation of a better video streaming library than in ‘normal’ app’s version.

24

It seems there has been a bug with ‘force tcp’ set up in the app’s code. I’ve fixed it in 2.28.11 build - if possible try it and send the logs if it still doesn’t work.

Hi @BlynkAndroidDev, yes thankyou the latest update as you mentioned now has my video widget working again :grin:.(force TCP ‘on’)

Early stages but I think the other issue that I’ve reported in the past has also been fixed. This issue was if blynk was opened on a tab other than the tab containing the video widget, video would not stream… I would have to maximise the video stream to full size window then it would start to stream… Weird I know but this update seems to have fixed this, issue as, well.

Thanks again,
G.

That’s great news.

@AntonioFusco have you tried the latest build with fixed tcp mode for rtsp streams?

27

I tried the latest build and now it works, but now if I use two Video Streaming widgets only one works. I have two identical cameras with the same IP address but different port.

@BlynkAndroidDev I wouldn’t normally use this forum to discuss Blynk 2.0 beta testing issue, but the two things are clearly related.

This is something that I’d flagged-up when beta testing for Blynk 2 in issue #40, but that I forgot to look at again before we closed that issue.
This is what I said at the time…

I tried adding a second video streaming widget, and only the last video widget that was added is working (the original working widget shows a grey screen). Hitting any of the on-screen controls for the first widget (play/stop, expand to full screen) are actually controlling the second widget.
Deleting the second widget makes the first widget function correctly again.

I’ve just re-tested in 10.1.15 and the behaviour is still exactly as described, but it works fine in the iOS version.

Apologies for raising so may things in one issue report and not re-testing thoroughly before closing the issue.

Pete.

Hello everyone, I am writing again here because I have recently updated the Blynk version (beta) to 2.28.15 and the problem of the two Video Streaming widgets has not been solved yet (2 identical cameras with the same IP address but different port.)
