All my comments are on top.
The RTSP over TCP was the switch that was needed to actually start reading the
RTSP feed and generating the m3u8 file, the .ts files were zero in size until I
changed to RTSP over TCP. Since this was the first time using, I did not know
if something should have followed:
Beginning to read...
[URL:"rtsp://user:pass@67.x.x.x:4300/s2/"]: Started playing session...
While I caught the:
"cd" to a directory that's accessible by your web server (e.g.,
/usr/local/www/apache24/data )
It didn't make sense to me the server would read this document, which is the
simple bit I was missing.
Anyway, works great and now I can move forward with my project.
Thank you very much.
