Swann NVR Cameras: "Codec Not Supported WebRTC ignore this track H265" Meaning?
darethehair opened this issue · comments
Hello! I am very new at trying to understand all the technology and terminology involved with RTSP/WebRTC/etc, but my goal is to capture and stream from our non-profit Swann 8580 NVR cameras to some Chrome browser tabs, so that we can ultimately Chromecast them to other HDMI devices -- without being connected to the NVR itself. Swann itself has mechanisms to view/control using remote browsers -- but it looks like the only ones that work this way only do so with Windows 'Internet Explorer' -- and we want to use ChromeOS with Chrome browser!
On experimentation with RTSPtoWebRTC, and using what I think are the correct RTSP stream addresses, I get the following diagnostics showing up:

Does this mean that our Swann NVR cameras are sending H265 video -- which neither WebRTC nor Chrome browser can handle? If so, any suggestions for my next steps in achieving our goals? Perhaps I could try RTSP stream '1' instead of '0' and get H264 instead of H265 (someone out there suggested this and not sure it even works that way).
Thanks!
UPDATE: Wow, talk about timing! Unless I have misunderstood, Google has just now added HEVC/H.265 support to Chrome browser! Not sure if this is both software + hardware support, or just hardware support:

Good news，Modify some of the code and Remove the restriction ，Give some time to test
