iOS RTSP player for IP video cameras

Good IOS RTSP Player.md

I have tried a lot of solutions for IP-camera streams.

Old solutions

1. Vitamio.https://github.com/yixia/Vitamio-iOS
   Result: random crashes and not working cameras

2. https://github.com/kolyvan/kxmovie
   Result: compile time error. I haven't successfully integrated it to my project.

3. GStreamer. https://github.com/sdroege/gst-player
   Result: I successfully integrated it, but reached bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756073

4. DFURTSPPlayer. https://github.com/durfu/DFURTSPPlayer
   Result: I used this solutions few months. But this project haven't scripts for building new ffmpeg libs and sometimes it player crashes in random moment after stop playing.

Current well working solution

ijkplayer - https://github.com/Bilibili/ijkplayer It is ffmpeg based fresh player by Bilibili company.

How to integrate special for IP-cameras

Follow my intructions based on ijplayer instructions.

1. Install git and yasm to you system. Use homebrew or mac ports for this.
2. Create special directory in you project, for example, youproject/libs/video
3. Add ijkplayer as submodule to your project git submodule add https://github.com/Bilibili/ijkplayer.git libs/video/ijkplayer
4. Execute commands:

cd libs/video/ijkplayer
git checkout -B latest k0.4.2.4

Tag for latest branch may be differ then my. You should check official documentation for latest tag. 5. Replace libs/video/ijkplayer/config/module.sh with my rtsp_module.sh located below this instruction. My file contains some addition keys for ffmpeg which added support for protocols and codecs which use popular IP-cameras. 6. Run this.

./init-ios.sh
cd ios  
./compile-ffmpeg.sh clean  
./compile-ffmpeg.sh all

If you complete steps correctly ffmpeg and player should be compile successfully.

7. Add IJKMediaPlayer.xcodeproj as sub project to your project. Apple Developer FAQ

8. Look at ijkplayer/ios/IJKMediaDemo/ and and insert player to you code. For example:

self.player = [[IJKFFMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:self.url withOptions:options];
self.player.view.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
self.player.view.frame = self.videoView.bounds;
self.player.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeFill;  
self.view.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
[self.videoView addSubview:self.player.view];
[self.videoView sendSubviewToBack:self.player.view];
[self installMovieNotificationObservers];
[self.player prepareToPlay];
[self.player play];

Don't forget about callbacks.

Have fun!

Hi.. i want to record live rtsp stream which play on player into local. can we achieve recording feature in this player
?

Can you, if possible, show how to use it with swift?
I already imported the project and recompiled my app, but am stuck at the code you provided to start playing some url.
Thanks for any help

I play rtsp link now. But I see that sometimes this stopped. and need restart.

@vienvu89 yes, I ran into same situation, the log shows:

ct_type:1 pic_struct:0
ffp_toggle_buffering_l: start
aout_pause_audio(1)
2016-11-07 21:35:19.836620 IJKMediaDemo[29590:7470691] FFP_MSG_BUFFERING_START:

I am digging deeper.

Hi all, I found a fix for case play sometimes stopped, follow this issues 2234
Go to IJKFFMoviePlayerController/ijkmedia/ijkplayer/ff_ffplay.c and find method:
static int packet_queue_get_or_buffering(FFPlayer *ffp, PacketQueue *q, AVPacket *pkt, int *serial, int *finished)

replace to this

static int packet_queue_get_or_buffering(FFPlayer *ffp, PacketQueue *q, AVPacket *pkt, int *serial, int *finished)
{
    while (1) {
        int new_packet = packet_queue_get(q, pkt, 1, serial);
        if (new_packet < 0)
        {
            new_packet = packet_queue_get(q, pkt, 0, serial);
            if(new_packet < 0)
                return -1;
        }
        else if (new_packet == 0) {
            if (!finished)
            ffp_toggle_buffering(ffp, 1);
            new_packet = packet_queue_get(q, pkt, 1, serial);
            if (new_packet < 0)
                return -1;
        }
        if (*finished == *serial) {
            av_packet_unref(pkt);
            continue;
        }
        else
            break;
    }
    
    return 1;
}

git checkout -B latest k0.7.7.1

a module.sh file have some update so if you paste all in rtsp_module.sh, the compile may fail, just add key you need. For example

Run command

./init-ios.sh
cd ios

./compile-openssl.sh all
./compile-ffmpeg.sh all

Add libcrypto.a and libssl.a to Link Binary With Libraries, folder build/universal is build for all architecture.
Other step can see in ijkplayer repo

Hi, I need help on implementing some features using IJKPlayer. I've already posted an issue [here] (bilibili/ijkplayer#2865) but you might be able to help me on this. thanks

The only change that I needed to put in was this line in the original rtsp_modules.sh:

export COMMON_FF_CFG_FLAGS="$COMMON_FF_CFG_FLAGS --disable-protocol=async"

Since it was causing linker errors when building my project, I changed it to the following and recompiled:

export COMMON_FF_CFG_FLAGS="$COMMON_FF_CFG_FLAGS --enable-protocol=async"

ALSO, the fix proposed by @qhu91it changes the interface of the method - it changes the type of the finished parameter - int* finished becomes int finished. I am not sure this is intended or completely safe, since I don't have much experience with the project. However, I propose a small change, which doesn't change the fix's implementation, but keeps the function interface unchanged:

static int packet_queue_get_or_buffering(FFPlayer *ffp, PacketQueue *q, AVPacket *pkt, int *serial, int *finished)
{
    while (1) {
        int new_packet = packet_queue_get(q, pkt, 1, serial);
        if (new_packet < 0)
        {
            new_packet = packet_queue_get(q, pkt, 0, serial);
            if(new_packet < 0)
                return -1;

Hi all,

Have you tried with MobileVLCKit, it's really easy and work well!
I wrote a small example here: https://github.com/rvi/ONVIFCamera
If you want to try it, just type pod try ONVIFCamera in your terminal.

Here is how to do it:

var mediaPlayer = VLCMediaPlayer()
    
// Associate the movieView to the VLC media player
mediaPlayer.drawable = self.movieView
        
let url = URL(string: "rtsp://IP_ADDRESS:PORT/params")
let media = VLCMedia(url: url)
mediaPlayer.media = media
        
mediaPlayer.play()

Hi @rvi!

Do you know if we can record a streaming video from ONVIFCamera using MobileVLCKit or any other way.

Is there a way to ensure the current playback time is as close to live as possible? For example if it was buffering - how so I ensure when it starts playing again it skips ahead to most current time?

Try SGPlayer for RTSP. All you need to do is create a player with the FFmpeg decoder and add the line: [self.player.decoder setFFmpegFormatContextOptionStringValue:@"tcp" forKey:@"rtsp_transport"];

I am trying to play an url like this "rtsp://[ip]:[port]/user=[user]&password=[password]&channel=[channel]&stream=[stream].sdp?"
does any one have any idea how?
