This is my first dip into HTML5, firstly is there a special way to open the html tag? I read a stack overflow question, which seemed to result in the fact that an rtsp could be srced in a video tag.
Streaming via RTSP or RTP in HTML5
So I have attempted to do so! I have the following HTML
<!DOCTYPE Html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<video src="rtsp://urlexample/sample_h264_1mbit.mp4">No HTML5 support</video>
</body>
</html>
However, I open this script in chrome and nothing appears, nothing loads, not even No HTML5 support shows up! I have looked into using cvlc to capture and then display a stream, but I was hoping that this new technology could be utilized to display the video. Any advice would be of help! Thank you.
I don’t think Chrome supports rtsp at this time: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=25573
Have you tried it in Safari with quicktime installed? I think Safari does support rtsp, but I’m not sure.
