Getting corrupt feed/green screen on Reolink cameras

I am able to view the feed correctly with ffmpeg using the following command:

ffmpeg -i rtsp://user:[email protected]//h264Preview_01_main -c copy -f rtsp rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/stream

Here's the Wireshark log for the ffmpeg proxy feed: https://gist.github.com/cmer/e2945d10299483b3b33fd7aa0874f039

I emailed you about this, @aler9. Thanks!

@cmer I have the same problem. But i solved it by change the protocol . Maybe it's because the UDP protocol . If you want to use proxy mode, you can add sourceProtocol: tcp in rtsp-simple-server.yml

    proxied: 
       source: your ip camera
       sourceProtocol: tcp

One in a while, a kind Internet soul comes along and just solves your issue. @jason8745 is one of those people. Thank you, it totally did the trick!

I also had to adjust readBufferSize: 6800.

i'm adding this to the README.
