I have a question about the VideoThumbnails, IP routing.
Info
DMA1 = 10.16.4.2
StreamServer = rtsp://195.162.208.102:554/hdmi
- Setting in visio
#http://10.16.4.2/VideoThumbnails/Video.htm?type=Generic%20VLC&source= rtsp://195.162.208.102:554/hdmi&volume=50
question
Should DMA1 have access to the IP of the streamserver?
Or should the PC running the ‘DataMiner Cube’ have access to the IP of the streamserver?
best regards
Only the client devices need access to the video stream server. The clients connect directly to the video stream server to start the stream, it does not go via the DMA, so the DMA does not need access.
There is also a possibility to use DataMiner server as a proxy, according to the documentation: Linking a shape to a video thumbnail | DataMiner Docs
Quote from Docs:
If a client does not have direct access to the video server, it can request a video feed via the DataMiner Agent acting as a proxy server.
When a video feed is requested via proxy, the list of allowed URLs will be restricted for security reasons.
In this case, the client only needs to have access to the DataMiner Agent, and the Agent needs to be able to reach the Thumbnails server.
This proxy option is only for image thumbnails. There is no proxy option for streaming.
The client has access. The streaming is working fine.
thanks
