-5408 error on all RTSP streams via QuickTime (after a near-disk failure)

Hi Folks.
Today I had a near catastrophic failure on my startup drive: following a simple permissions repair routine, after a shutdown the startup drive failed to mount. It took DiskWarrior to get it back again, but most of my preference files were corrupted. With Time Machine most of these were restored successfully however.
Everything is back in order, except that when I try to connect to any QuickTime compatible RTSP stream, I end up getting a -5408 error.
The streams I am connecting to are from IP cameras which have RTSP and h264. I know they're working fine because I have another MacBook beside me also running 10.6.8 which is pulling them down fine, doing exactly the same thing.
I also know that the streams I am connecting to are using TCP, not UDP. Normally when buffering it starts at about 3 seconds and goes down, but at present it is switching transports immediately and counting down from 8.7 seconds before timing out.
This is happening in any browser with the QuickTime Plugin, and QuickTime Player itself (both the X version and the old 7 version).
So it would seem to me that TCP is being blocked within the OSX system when trying to use port 554. And I do not have firewall turned on.
I know this has been caused by something being affected due to the need for a recovery, but short of installing a clean version of Snow Leopard, I wondered if there was a way of checking transports and seeing if this can be fixed more easily.
Hope you can help.

Well, given no-one could shed any light on this, I'd like to let you all know that I worked it out myself.
Here's how the story ends:
A few days after the near-disk-death experience, I went to use my Express Card modem to connect to 3G wireless and found that all of my network settings preferences were gone (airport/VPNs etc...). It couldn't even recognise my Sierra Wireless express card at all. This was even after restoring my entire preferences folder in my Home folder using Time Machine, which got most things back to normal.
Some research in these discussion forums found that network settings are not stored in your home folder's library, but on your startup drive's /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder. It has these files in it:
preferences.plist
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
com.apple.network.identification.plist
com.apple.smb.server.plist
com.apple.nat.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
com.apple.Boot.plist
So I used Time Machine to restore an older version of that folder, and hey presto, all my network settings returned.
And then I connected to a page where RTSP wasn't working in via QuickTime, and it worked.
I'm still not sure which file contained the problem with RTSP over TCP, and that still doesn't explain why a different user on this same machine I setup had no problems.
Not that I care anymore, because my MacBook is now back the way it was. It seems...
I highly recommend DiskWarrior for when strange things start happening to your Mac, or if a drive/partition disappears. It can find and restore things that other 'salvage' type disk recovery apps cannot.

  • No Audio on Radio Streaming via QuickTime Player

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm trying to listen to a radio station via the web that uses Windows Media Player. I have QuickTime and also downloaded & installed Flip4Mac but there is no audio coming thru. QuickTime does not appear to be launching when I open the radio channel. Any suggestions/help is welcomed.

  • Local songs won't stream via Spotify after playing locally and being removed.

    I have an external hard drive I use to store all the songs I own. For everything else, there's Spotify. Sometimes I unplug my external hard drive and play music that I own via Spotify instead. Spotify used to be able to clearly distinguish between these and integrate them seamlessly. But with the new update (0.8.8.450gd...), these are very confused. The moment I plugged in my hard drive and played a song on my playlist, it switched the file source from Spotify to local, and it will not change back. Even after I unplug my hard drive and restart Spotify, problem not solved. In addition, there is no way to know if I'm dragging a local file or a Spotify song to my playlists, which leaves all my playlists absolutely unreliable until this is fixed. It could stop at any time if I don't have my external drive plugged in, which is not ideal. Any help would be appreciated.

    Same issue. This has always been a problem for me with Spotify, for the last few years.
    I have a lot of CD-ripped lossless files in my iTunes, so it's great Spotify lets me play those higher quality versions. However, if my external HD with my iTunes library files on it is not connected (which is any time my laptop isn't at my desk), there is no way to play that music without permanently unlinking the file.
    It's a crummy situation. Spotify will play music I never bought outright via CD just fine. But if Spotify ever gets a whiff of a file being part of the iTunes library, and that file is not able to be loaded at that moment, then it will refuse to let you stream the track. It makes no sense.
    The solution to this is that Spotify should play local audio files for tracks when they are accessible, and stream them when they are not. That was part of the whole point of subscribing to a cloud-based music streaming service in the first place for me. 

  • RTSP stream downloads video rather than displaying...

    I've got an internet security cam that I can view on my PC as an RTSP stream with Quicktime, Windows Media Player, Real Player, etc.
    My E71x has Real Player and when I enter the same address that streams on my PC, the MediaNet app starts to download the stream, rather than displaying the video.  It will go as long as I leave it, downloading MB of data.
    Does anybody know how to get this RTSP stream to display as video rather than download?  I've tried Opera and Bolt but neither pull up Real Player like MediaNet.  I know the RTSP on the phone must be working because the YouTube app works like a champ.

    You can specify a folder on a computer (or iPhoto events etc on a Mac) though you may not get perfect control over display order.
    Use iTunes>File>Home Sharing>Choose photos to share etc
    iTunes would need to be running on teh LAN to support this.

  • Streaming H264 content via RTP/RTSP: VLC works, Quicktime doesn't

    At this stage our server starts sending H264 RTP frames to port 6970 of Quicktime's host machine. No firewall or NAT exists between the client and server machines. Sometimes it is the same machine.
    Quicktime client says:
    'Negotiating'
    'Waiting for media...'
    and after 10 seconds it says 'Not Found' and disconnects from the server.
    VLC displays the video stream given the same URL.
    Why is Quicktime not finding/displaying the stream?

    I have managed to pass this stage by adding an 'RTP-Info' header to the 'PLAY' reply. Now the player does buffering and starts counting the time forward as if it were doing a kind of playback, but all that can bee seen on the Quicktime window is the large blue Quicktime icon with dots below scrolling from side to side.
    Movie inspector shows an advancing 'Current Time', 'Movie FPS: 0.00', 'Format: StreamingH.264, 352x288, Millions', a good Bit Rate value and a Quality near 100%.

  • Deliver HTTP ABR HDS+HLS Streams via Player Object to All Devices

    I have been unable to successfully establish a single video player object (similar to when delivering single-bitrate streams via FLVPlayback component with Flash Pro) that will automatically detect the browser type and automatically deliver the appropriate .f4m or .m3u8 manifest when broadcasting using HTTP adaptive bitrate streaming with FMLE3 and AMS5.
    I have both the HDS and HLS streaming working separately--the AMS5 sample videoPlayer.html file will accept and play video content when fed the URL: http://csitsfms.sys.oakland.edu/mbrBlack.f4m; however, I have not had success in getting any .f4m streams initiated in any other fashion.
    Also, HLS streaming is verified to be working on: http://csitsfms.sys.oakland.edu/mbrBlack.m3u8 when using an option such as VLC Player's File -> Open Network Stream command.
    The end desired result is that a user will navigate to  a particular URL and the browser autodetects whether to deliver the .f4m or the m3u8 manifest and initiate the appropriate stream to a single video playback object.
    We've had FMS up and running since v3.5; however, have just recently upgraded to AMS5.0.x and would like to enable adaptive bitrate streaming to all devices; we have no problem with single-bitrate streaming to Flash-enabled devices.
    I have also tried using the sample videoPlayer.html page's auto-generated code, dropping that onto an otherwise empty HTML document; however, Error 2048 was returned instead of a valid stream. Using a similar process with the OSMF generator, the error standard error, "We are having problems with playback. We apologize for the inconvenience."
    It may be noted that we have SWFVerification enabled for our domain, in case this is what may be impeding our efforts.

    take a look at this links
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/adobe-media-server/articles/beginning-fms45-pt01.html
    i think you are not calling the video properly in the HTTP URL.
    http://csitsfms.sys.oakland.edu/mbrBlack.f4m  willnot work. If you are using the AMS videoplayer.html use the embeded code and paste it in a html file.
    http://domain.com/hds-vod/filename.f4m WILL NOT WORK . This will only display the content of the f4m file.

  • How can I watch the WWDC stream (2014) via QuickTime?

    Hey!
    I just wanted to ask which URL I'll have to use if I want to watch the keynote via QuickTime because I've read somewhere that I can't just
    use this url: http://www.apple.com/apple-events/june-2014/

    Certain links to the Coachella streaming video channels work with AirPlay to AppleTV. 
    Note: the video streams posted at http://www.coachella.com/ don't work via AirPlay.  You get the error message "An error occured loading this content.  Try again later."
    The fix:
    1) Starting from your computer, go to the Coachella website: http://www.coachella.com
    2) Click the "Watch on Youtube.com" button (located in the embedded video player window below the playing coachella video; it's the one to the left of the "Fullscreen" button).  This opens that same channel in YouTube.
    3) Click "Share" and...
    4) Click "Email"... (use YouTube to share a private email link to your email).
    5) Open the Coachella channel on your IPhone from the link in your email.
    6) Using Airplay, send this streaming Coachella Youtube Channel to your Apple TV from your IPhone.
    It works!
    If your AirPlay videos are interupted by your IPhone Auto-lock then you can fix that using:
       IPhone --> Settings --> General --> Auto-Lock --> "Never".
    Happy Coachella watching!

    You've done great so far to upgrade to Leopard & install more RAM. Now install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    After you install the 10.5.8 update, click on the Apple in the menu & select Software Update. You will then be informed of some application updates. iTunes may be one of them. Then click to install the app updates.

  • Need confirmation that my rtsp streaming settings for the WVC54GCA are correct

    So I recently set up the WVC54GCA for remote viewing over the internet. I use Verizon DSL with the Westell Versalink Gateway 327W, with the latest firmware (4.4.3) I was able to forward an alternate HTTP port (1025) enabling both TCP/UDP to my cams static IP. I was also able to forward the RTSP port (554) enabling both TCP/UDP to my cam's static IP. My problem is that my router will not forward any more ports, other than 1025 and 554.
    There is a setting on the camera for RTP data port (listed as port 5000) and I cannot forward port 5000. I have tried changing the cam setting to a bunch of different ports other than 5000 (6881, 1024, 1900, etc.) but no matter what I try, none of the other ports can be opened through my router. It appears to work via the routers firmware (i.e. it looks just like the setting for 1025 and 554, which do forward) but when I check the port using canyouseeme.org or GRC the port is listed as closed or stealthed.
    I am able to view the cam from my office at rtsp://camname:554/xxxxx using Quicktime or Realplayer.  However, neither my phone nore my buddies can connect.
    My question, since I can view the mobile streaming feed outside of my LAN using Realplayer or Quicktime, is "Am I configured properly for mobile (rtsp) streaming?"  Is this a cellphone issue rather then a configuration issue?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sorry for the above post, I confirmed my cam is properly streaming mobile video.  The video feed was accessed using a Samsung Omnia and Blackberry Curve.
    I am now home and confirm that even though I set up port forwarding for port 5000, that port is listed as closed via canyouseeme.org.  The feed works though, so I'm happy.

  • Recieve http or/and rtsp stream on iphone possible?

    hi i made up a LAN at home with own server and some media on it.
    I was setting up a stream on the pc with VLC media player.
    I created a homepage on the server which is linked to the vlc streams.
    The question is: Is there a possibility to use the Link on the homepage to stream the media to the iphone.
    I tried with android and Nokia and all other stuff and it worked fine. But iphone got troubles.
    The Point is i want to open the homepage click the link and see the stream. Can i set the iphone to open the homepage with safari but when i click the link to open a specific app to recieve the link? (the other phones automatically open their mediaplayer and play the stream.)
    All in one: is it possible to recieve a http or rtsp stream with iphone via homepagelink? (also for ipod touch) 
    regards Jonas

    JMF does not. JMF only plays RTP-protocol streams.I doubt it.....though I have never tried to play RTSP streams using JMF but seeing following links I do think client side RTSP is supported by JMF:

  • How can I export via QuickTime in iMovie '13 (10.0)?

    Prior versions of iMovie had an export via QuickTime option, which allowed me to select the file format, encoding settings, etc. After upgrading to the new iMovie, that appears to have gone away. The Share -> File option does not allow me that level of control over the output file. Has that functionality been removed from iMovie?

    I'm also having trouble with this. The new version of iMovie lost a lot of its features and is clearly focused toward the social media side of things. After importing using SD cameras that import video in a *square* PiP format, I am finding it impossible to update any of my settings to export the video in any other format that wouldn't cut out the picture. Basically, the only settings I've found in the share option of the iMovie 10.0 cu off the tops and bottoms of all my recording. Previously, I used QuickTime settings to pick what format and quality I wanted to export in. Does anyone have any insight about how to export using, say, a 640 x 480 format or in being able to adjust to any format other than the standard ones giving.
    Is there any other video software I can be using to import and export with that gives me more functionality?

  • Photo Stream (via iCloud) is no longer working on PC -- w/o system changes

    Photo Stream (via iCloud) worked great on my Windows PC a week ago.  Suddenly it's stopped entirely.  When I attempt to open it, I get an error message that says that "Photo Stream is not enabled" and that I should go to the iCloud Control Panel.  When I go to the Control Panel to initiate the change, I can put a check mark in the box to activate it, but it will not retain the change when I hit apply/save.  It also disables Windows Explorer when I do this.
    I don't believe this is an IOS6 issue since it was working fine for a period of time after I put IOS6 on both my iPhone and iPad devices.  I've also not made any changes to the Windows laptop involved. 
    Is anyone else having this problem.  Any suggestions on how to resolve it?  

    After upgrading to iOS 8.1, upgrading to the latest iTunes and re-installing iCloud for Windows, Photo Stream is working again!

    Don't flush it yourself. The servlet container will automatically flush for you once its send buffer is full. You can change the size of the send buffer though.
