I have 3 identical Gembird ICAM-WHD-02 webcams
After installing them via the IPhone app i can watch the camera;s fluently (expect in the advertised 30fps) with the CMS app Gambird provides. Placing a running stopwatch in front of the camera makes very clear that i am watching a high framerate (seeing the counting of the 1/100 of a second)
I can also watch their rtsp stream (rtsp://admin:password@ip:554/onvif1) via VLC, which is perfectly stable, but is does seem to show a lot slower framerate (about 3-5fps) if i had to guess
This is ofcourse not what i would like (already sent their support a message asking for advice), however it is stable
(VLC showed the stopwatch for over 4h before i stopped it this afternoon)
Now i used the same RTSP stream and opened it in OBS
Created a scene and source and started watching
It starts ok, showing the stopwatch at about the same speed as in VLC
However, after somewhere between 2 and 5 minutes the screen will go black. Only clicking on the source again of switching to one of the other 2 camera's and back the image will be shown again
I looked at the log file and there is absolutely nothing in their around the time the screen went black (tried and checked multiple times)
Last message is of audio buffering, total audio buffering is not 46 milliseconds and this message is from the start of OBS, not from when the screen goes black
I also tried running the same stream in both the CMS app on my iphone VLC and OBS at the same time
It feels like in that case the stream is shown in OBS for a longer period of time but does eventually go black again (while the other two will still keep showing the stream)
All in all it feels like OBS is not able to handle some sort of packet loss or somethng like that, while CMS and VLC can. Is there some setting i can change to try and fix this? Some sort of 'keep alive' of a stream ?
