RTSP stream plays from Open URL but not as favorite channel

As the title says if I open an rtsp url from menu - Open URL, it plays fine.

Now if I add it as a new ts stream in channel editor and try to play it from the channel list nothing happens.

 

I don't know if this has anything to do with this:

http://www.DVBViewer.tv/forum/topic/60978-flv-links-do-not-open/

 

where Griga said:

"Because the channel list only supports DVB compliant streaming formats that contain a transport stream or an AAC/MP3 audio stream (e.g. internet radio). Read more about it here in the "Streaming" section. .flv is Flash, which is no DVB compliant format."

 

If this is the case, then, is there a way to pass the url "rtsp://IP:port/stream" as a parameter to action 141 "Open URL" ?

 

For example, through a custom action from scripting:

 

sub main(ActionID) 
        Select Case ActionID
    Case 36000 
        SendCommand(141), "rtsp://IP:port/stream"

        End Select 
end sub

 

Or is there any other way that I can open the url,  but only from a remote control (not physically, with mouse, etc..)?

 

Thank you in advance.

You can pass a URL as commandline parameter to DVBViewer in the same way as a file, e.g.

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\DVBViewer\DVBViewer.exe" "rtsp://IP:port/stream"

 

This also works if DVBViewer is already running. It launches a second DVBViewer instance that detects the first instance, passes the commandline parameter to it and then terminates immediately.

Thank you Griga for your explanation.

 

That means that through scripting this would be the equivalent command?

 

sub main(ActionID) 
        Select Case ActionID
    Case 36000 
        OSD.ExecNewProcess "C:\Program Files\DVBViewer\DVBViewer.exe", "rtsp://IP:port/stream", False, False

        End Select 
end sub

 

 

Thank you.
