[gentoo-user] mpeg4ip - replacement

Which application replaced "mpeg4ip" ?

I'm trying to streem mpeg4 video and in the past I was using "mpeg4ip" but I can not find it.

  I've been using mplayer for a long time.  Note that it has a lot of
flags to pick and choose from.  This includes some CPU-specific flags.

I have mplayer installed with flags:

but I can not streem mpeg-4 video from my remote camera.

I can stream mpeg-4 from camera locally using both: vlc and mplayer
but when I log-in from  remote computer not of them work.

  Does the remote computer have mplayer built with the same flags/codecs
as on your local computer?  Ignore the CPU-specific stuff.

  Can I assume that you're actually "streaming" from both computers?  Or
are you playing back a recorded file locally, as opposed to streaming
live from the remote?

media-video/gpac has extended mpeg4 support
media-libs/libmp4v2 with USE="utils" has command lines utilities
media-video/atomicparsley or media-video/atomicparsley-wez

and of course, ffmpeg, libav, mplayer, ...

when mpeg4ip was removed in favour of the new (read: maintained)
libmp4v2 googlecode project,
these were the replacements, and users were able to accomplish whatever
mpeg4ip did with them

I just add the "rtsp" use flag and re-compile the vlc but I still getting an error:

Well, the remote camera is Axis 207 so it has its own server. There is no mplayer on it.
When I access camera from the network computer the same as camera is on both vlc and mplayer work.
But when I try to stream over the internet (from different) it doesn't work.  

Can mpalyer stream the mpeg 4 video file over rtsp; I think only vlc can do it.

  You mentioned in a previous message that mplayer and vlc work on one
computer, but not on the other.  So we know they both work.  I think the
problem is somewhere in the remote access.  How are you accessing the
rtsp stream?  Is it like so (example name and numbers)...

mplayer rtsp://10.1.2.3/stream_name

  Things to check...

* if you're using a domain name rather than an IP address, is it defined
  in the remote machine's /etc/hosts ?

* is the remote machine's firewall blocking the camera's IP address ?

* is the camera set to only stream to a specific IP address (range) ?

I can login and access the camera setting over the Internet, the only part that is not working is streaming over rtsp.
MotionJPEG works but that takes a lot of bandwidth. 

I think you are correct it might have something to do with firewall.

I've open port range: 50000 to 50999 and forward it to 10.10.0.127 (this is camera IP address on the other network).

When I try vlc:
Connection failed:
VLC could not connect to "66.18.xxx.xxx:554".
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://66.18.xxx.xxx:554/mpeg4/media.amp'. Check the log for details.

I open port 9090 (tcp/udp) on the remote firewall and forward it to 10.10.0.127:80  
But I'm puzzled why is it trying to connect to: 66.18.xxx.xxx:554 
Maybe this is the problem. 

rtsp port 554 is enabled on the camera.

* I'm using only IP addresses no domain name.
* on the remote computer camera is on 10.10.0.127 IP address
so I open port 9090 and forwarded to IP  10.10.0.127:80 on the remote firewall

  Why is the machine doing anything IPV6-related for an IPV4 address?

> Failed to get a SDP description from URL

  Some bad news... you just published the entire URL, including the full
IPV4 address.  Take it offline *NOW*.

  Possibly some good news... you say that you can't access it remotely.
Does your ISP block servers on your account?  That may save you.

OH well, experiment over for now :-)  I'll obtain different IP from my provider.

No, they don't block anything.  Googling around, I'm not the only one with this problem.
