Trimmed and installed the last piece of the casement that acts as the window surround.  Added a little filler compound to make the joints seamless. Tomorrow night sand those down, and paint is on the way. I have run into a snag though. One of the display sources I was going to use was an IP security camera, but I am having problems getting the PI to login and display the stream. The camera documentation states that it supports RTSP but I have tried both Mplayer and KerberousIO and so far no success. Anyone successfully used an ESCAM IP camera with a PI?

  • I am currently using omxplayer to display an rtsp stream on an RPi HDMI display.  I'm traveling currently so I can't share my setup but here is a link to something similar to what I use.  The trick is to find the correct rtsp URL for your camera webserver.  Sounds like you have the API documentation for your camera.  I've found that if the stream is interrupted that the player will quit, so I check periodically for the process and restart it if necessary.  Used to happen when power glitched.  Doesn't happen much now that I've added a UPS to the camera.  I am using an FDT camera, have not used an ESCAM.
