Hi,

I faced some strange issue with the stream from Edimax IP cameras.

Edimax codecs: H264 (Constrained Baseline Profile)/G.711

**Video doesn’t work.**

**But there is audio!!!**

And there are a lot of errors inside log file.

```

I checked with FFPROBE

```auto
 ffprobe rtsp://admin:1234@192.168.10.95:554/ipcam_h264.sdp
Input #0, rtsp, from 'rtsp://admin:1234@192.168.10.95:554/ipcam_h264.sdp':

Hi,

When you say that video doesn’t work, can you please be more specific? Which streaming protocol are you using for playback? Which player?

Hi,

Can you please add/enable the following .stream properties:

rtspFilterUnknownTracks : true

rtpIgnoreProfileLevelId : true

rtpIgnoreSPropParameterSets : true

Please use the instructions from the following forum article to enable these .stream settings: [How to specify per-stream settings in .stream files](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-specify-per-stream-settings-in-stream-files)

Hi,

I’ve added the properties.

But still.

There is no video

There is audio

```auto
{
  "uri": "rtsp://admin:1234@192.168.10.95:554/ipcam_h264.sdp",
  "rtspFilterUnknownTracks": "true",
  "rtpIgnoreProfileLevelId": "true",
  "rtpIgnoreSPropParameterSets": "true"
}

```

And NullPointerException in logs:

```auto
2014-04-03	14:10:04	IDT	comment	server	ERROR	500	-	LiveStreamPacketizerPacketHandler.handleHolder[live/_definst_/test.stream] : java.lang.NullPointerException|at com.wowza.wms.httpstreamer.mpegdashstreaming.livestreampacketizer.MPEGDashWriterHandler.createChunkM4S(MPEGDashWriterHandler.java:1435)|at com.wowza.wms.httpstreamer.mpegdashstreaming.livestreampacketizer.MPEGDashWriterHandler.endChunk(MPEGDashWriterHandler.java:507)|at com.wowza.wms.httpstreamer.model.LiveStreamPacketizerPacketHandler.endChunk(LiveStreamPacketizerPacketHandler.java:1031)|at com.wowza.wms.httpstreamer.model.LiveStreamPacketizerPacketHandler.handleHolderInternal(LiveStreamPacketizerPacketHandler.java:793)|at com.wowza.wms.httpstreamer.model.LiveStreamPacketizerPacketHandler.handleHolder(LiveStreamPacketizerPacketHandler.java:597)|	-

```

I could open IP camera to outside.

Ok.

Solved.

**RTPTransportMode: "udp"**

**Camera doesn’t support RTP over TCP.**

The following JSON works:

**GOOD**

```auto
{
  "uri": "rtsp://admin:1234@192.168.10.95:554/ipcam_h264.sdp",
  "rtpTransportMode":"udp"
}

```

Thanks
