Config loading but can't load RTSP feed

[simondsmason]

Neolink is loading, very simple config. But for some reason I can't open the RTSP in VLC to test.

This is what I see in the log - I don't see anything wrong with this.

My config:

# A bind value of 0.0.0.0 means any network this computer can access
# You can change this to a specfic network e.g. "192.168.1.101" here
# Or to no networks e.g. this computer only "127.0.0.1"
bind = "0.0.0.0"

# Default port is 8554 but you can change it by uncommenting the following
bind_port = 8556

[[cameras]]
name = "garage_inside"
username = "admin"
password = "*******"
address = "192.168.2.32:9000"

I try to open the RTSP:

rtsp://192.168.2.110:8556/garage_inside/main

I get back from VLC:

satip debug: connect to host '192.168.2.110'
main debug: net: connecting to 192.168.2.110 port 8556
main error: connection failed: Connection refused
satip error: Failed to connect to RTSP server 192.168.2.110:8556

As mentioned in a previous thread I had this configured and working fine before but am now resintalling due to a cache drive failure on my unraid. Unfortunately I didn't record the settings. This seems quite simple but hoping to get some quick pointers here? Thanks.

Unraid is a container setup right? What are your port configurations like? How is the network setup to connect to the containers? Is it bridged, NAT etc? There's too much missing information here for me to be able to figure this out without lots of Going back and forwards.

[simondsmason]

Fair questions.

Here is the docker config:

Container is bridged. IP of unraid server is 192.168.2.110.

Docker is loading - although curiously it says that uptime was 19 minutes. It should have been running for much longer than this.

When I look at the log it looks like it is restarting ever hour - is this normal behavior?

I can confirm that other dockers are responding fine on 192.168.2.110 with their respective ports.
I can provide more information as needed. Thanks.

Am I reading this right?

You have the port mapping linking the external port to 8556 and the internal to 8554. However the neolink is the internal and you configured that as 8556. Swap neolink internal back to 8554 (usually best to leave the internal and just map the external as needed)

Got it - that was it. I had confused the ports. Everything is up and running now. Thanks for your help and for putting this app together.
