回答1:

It has been quite q while, not sure what's the story back in 11, but yes, ffmpeg now support so.

ffmpeg -i rtsp://user:pass@x.x.x.x/VideoString

works.

回答2:

ffmpeg support rtsp authentication i think you might be missing quotes covering rstp URL.

examples:

Not working :

ffmpeg -i rtsp://user:pass@x.x.x.x/VideoString

Working :

ffmpeg -i "rtsp://user:pass@x.x.x.x/VideoString"

Yea Im having problems with this too. It seems Digest authentication is missing. there are a few mailing list comments about adding it in. see http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/yR2T4nBtThzJs27hqDLb but nothing conclusive.

Please be aware that HTTP basic authentication is passed in the URL string as in your example but digest is md5 encoded and passed as a separate element in the HTTP request.

also the http://www.live555.com/ library does support http/digest authentication, i have tested, it works.

to test conectivity use the testProgs in live555

live/testProgs/openRTSP -4 -u admin admin -w 1280 -h 720 -f 20 rtsp://192.168.0.2/defaultPrimary?streamType=u > testmovie.mp4

After digging a lot with ffmpeg I found that long urls with authorization fail in ffmpeg while working good with VLC. Url lenght with auth should be less than 140. So 139 chars worked while 140 failed with method SETUP failed: 401 Unauthorized

P.S. After digging in Source code I found https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/415f907ce8dcca87c9e7cfdc954b92df399d3d80/libavformat/rtsp.h#L423

Looks like it is 128 char for url without password.

Yes, ffmpeg does support RTSP authentication using the ffplay command.

Try using the ffplay command instead:

ffplay rtsp://user:pass@x.x.x.x/VideoString

This works for me.

FFmpeg appears to support Digest authentication, at least as of this March 25, 2010 commit: https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/855e7732c6bcc7d52cd0863407a721c2bf00fcf1

The logic implementing the digest computation is mostly in this file: https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/libavformat/httpauth.c

According to this changelog, that made it into the version 0.6 release:

• HTTP Digest authentication

I spent whole weekend on it (ffmpeg 07/07/2014) and can say -NO! Perhaps ffmpeg has RTSP codes for digest/auth, but they do not work there. I always got 401 error from IP camera with digest/auth and good work with basic/auth.

VLC with live555 works well with any authentication.
