Describe the issue

When trying to connect to RTSP camera Y-CAM Bullet HD: 1080, I get the error
invalid SDP: sdp: invalid numeric value -8959200248001175080 on startup.

Describe how to replicate the issue

1. started the server with the following line in .yml:
   mycamera:
   source: rtsp://username:[email protected]:554/v01

Did you attach the server logs?

no

Did you attach a network dump?

no

Hello, this can be fixed but you need to attach a server log with the option logLevel set to debug in mediamtx.yml and then replicate the issue.

Facing the same error with AXIS 221 camera. In the attachments there are logs from mediamtx with debug level
mtxlog.txt

@lqbrqt thanks for providing the camera model and the log, please test the release attached in this page (click on Artifacts, binaries) and let me know if it fixes the issue:

@aler9 Thank you for really quick response! Currently, when running nightly build there is no output image from mediamtx (we're getting black screen), while using stable version image from 3 of 4 cameras are present. Also, in logs SDP error is not present. Sending you logs from provided mediamtx version mtxnightlylog.log

@lqbrqt the problem you are describing is a different one than the subject of this issue.

If you are sure it's a bug then you need to open another issue and attach two network dumps, one that contains exchanged packets between a camera and VLC, and the other that contains exchanged packets between the server (proxying a camera) and VLC, in order to spot the differences. You can find instructions on how to generate network dumps when you try to open an issue.

Anyway, i'm noticing that the server is stripping the MPEG4-IOD from the SDP of your cameras. This is the SDP that the camera provides:

v=0
o=- 1713376272799653 1713376272799661 IN IP4 192.168.221.101
s=Media Presentation
e=NONE
c=IN IP4 0.0.0.0
b=AS:8000
t=0 0
a=control:*
a=range:npt=now-
a=mpeg4-iod: "data:application/mpeg4-iod;base64,AoDUAE8BAf/1AQOAbwABQFBkYXRhOmFwcGxpY2F0aW9uL21wZWc0LW9kLWF1O2Jhc2U2NCxBUjBCR3dVZkF4Y0F5U1FBWlFRTklCRUVrK0FBZWhJQUFIb1NBQVlCQkE9PQQNAQUABAAAAAAAAAAAAAYJAQAAAAAAAAAAAzoAAkA2ZGF0YTphcHBsaWNhdGlvbi9tcGVnNC1iaWZzLWF1O2Jhc2U2NCx3QkFTWVFTSVVFVUZQd0E9BBICDQAAAgAAAAAAAAAABQMAAEAGCQEAAAAAAAAAAA=="
m=video 0 RTP/AVP 96
b=AS:8000
a=framerate:30.0
a=control:trackID=1
a=rtpmap:96 MP4V-ES/90000
a=fmtp:96 profile-level-id=245; config=000001B0F5000001B509000001000000012008D48D88032514043C14440F
a=mpeg4-esid:201

and this is the SDP that the server provides to any reader:

v=0
o=- 0 0 IN IP4 127.0.0.1
s=Media Presentation
c=IN IP4 0.0.0.0
t=0 0
m=video 0 RTP/AVP 96
a=control:rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/my_camera_fourth/trackID=0
a=rtpmap:96 MP4V-ES/90000
a=fmtp:96 config=000001B0F5000001B509000001000000012008D48D88032514043C14440F; profile-level-id=245

the mpeg4-iod attribute has gone lost. Maybe this is the cause. Open a dedicated issue in order to move discussion there.

In addition to researching the reasons for the negative SDP number, it occurs when date/time is not synchronised correctly on the camera. To fix it - configure date and time in camera's settings
