SPA 525G[2]: monitor mjpeg video RTSP , remove PATH constraint

Question

Having read the forum's guide on the topic ,
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-9806 , and related errata
it's clear the phone can render MJPEG via RTSP.  The defect is the expectation of a needlessly specific URI PATH
rtsp://10.20.30.40/img/jpgvideo.sav
The SPA 525G and 525G2 could easily display ANY RTSP stream of MJPEG; it certainly has the power.   If one constrained the video stream (or transcoded non-matching stream on the fly) to:
320x240
5 fps
Constant Bit Rate
(with low bitrate)
ref:
phone would play it PROVIDED one match the INANE URI PATH
SPA video monitoring bugs
Cannot use video monitoring with BlueTooth enabled
setting line to disabled is not enough  (admin advanced, voice, phone, bluetooth)
SPA video monitoring defects
cannot assign video monitor to soft touch button?
INANE URI PATH filter precludes direct use of compliant video via RTSP from other IP cameras
It IS possible to use other mjpeg stream via RTSP so long as one presents inane expected PATH
Please remove the PATH filter from the phone's firmware in the next update.
SPA525G2 video monitor DOES work with TrendNet TV-IP312  [ethernet IP Camera]
video encoding: mjpeg
video quality: normal
frame rate: 5
..with some creative use of nginx or apache
I don't use wifi because I prefer quality communication with minimal or zero jitter.  Home ISPs offer [inflict] wifi as a  way to oversell (depriving you of the bandwidth you purchase)
Question_1
When will Cisco allow PATH variations?  I understand Cisco wanting to sell integration between products.  Cisco need NOT support third party RTSP video sources.  But Cisco OUGHT NOT prevent customer providing own additional value for one's own Cisco product.
[ Consider customer use of free Open Source PBX with Cisco SIP phones:  not supported but NOT disallowed   http://freepbx.org  https://freeswitch.org http://sipsorcery.com ]
Question_2
When will Cisco SPA video monitoring support MPEG4?  Yes, I understand there are more parameters to configure for MPEG4 vs MJPEG
Question_3
When will Cisco SPA switch be upgraded from old timey  100BASE-TX  to  gigabit ethernet?
An appropriate reply SHALL NOT quote the above guide or section of documentation as it would insult the customer or demonstrate gross ineptitude on behalf of Cisco.

There is no reason I should have to delete my preferences every single time I want to use the program.
Sure enough, but your description of the behavior and the whole shebang crashing with ntdll indicates a file I/O or permissions problem nonetheless. So check your folder permissions, user privileges and possibly any security tools. Same for 32bit services and drivers that simply may not be compatible. A quick look in the device manager can tell you that...
