How to force TCP transport layer when using QMediaPlayer to open an RTSP link (ffmpeg backend)

[NNT24]

I am using QMediaPlayer to open an RTSP link. I use PyQt6 version 6.5.2

player = QMediaPlayer()
player.setSource(QUrl(rtsp_link))
player.play()

But that RTSP link can only be opened using TCP transport protocol and the previous code will hang up

I tried to open that RTSP link using ffplay

This hang

ffplay rtsp_link

This work

ffplay -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp_link

How to tell ffmpeg backend to use TCP to open that link?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

AFAIK, it's not possible currently.

You might want to check the bug report system to see if there's something related there and if not open a feature request.
