General guidelines for creating a stream
1. Configure the stream using the H264 codec, an example of settings from the device that sends the stream.
2. If the RTP stream does not play correctly (audio or video), try playing the stream using a different protocol. As a rule, the device that generates the stream always gives several types of stream. HLS stream can play more stable than RTP / RTPS. RTSP is not required within the digital signage market, since this protocol only adds flow control (play, pause, rewind), as a rule, these functions are not needed when the stream is played on a 24/7 device and does not require control.
3. First try to play the most primitive stream, namely UDP.
4. If you are sure that everything was done correctly, run the test application to play only the stream. After installation, enter the test stream into the field and check its playback.
