Adding Video Streams

Adding Video Streams

  • Select the “Media” link in Vivi Central.

  • Click on “Add Media” and choose “Add video stream”.

  • Enter a name for the media.

  • Add the Video Stream URL.

  • Click Create.

  • We recommend when adding a video stream, you don’t put this within a playlist but instead just play the media on its own within a schedule.

  • Vivi supports most standard video streaming formats including RTSP and HLS. Please note, third-party broadcast/streaming software is needed to support this feature.

  • Requires firmware >= 2.5.3 to function.

  • Vivi expects BOTH H.264 and AAC/MP3 audio inside the stream

  • If RSTP is forced to TCP, it will fail - we can only run RTSP over UDP.

  • Authentication may play a role in RTSP videos

  • Because there are many factors involved, Vivi cannot guarantee all RTSP video will play. There may be an unknown incompatibility.
