Ingestion Doesnt auto reconnect when stream is broken

kranthi_volteo — Thu, 06 May 2021 10:45:58 GMT

We are seeing some issues with ingestion not able to reconnect when stream is broken/down temporarily. Everything works if I restart container manually.

"/VideoIngestion/config": { "encoding": { "type": "jpeg", "level": 95 }, "ingestor": { "type": "opencv", "pipeline": "rtsp://localhost:8554/live.sdp" } }

Also tried with different ingestor - gstreamer.

Hi @kranthi_volteo ,

Can you provide more info regarding the scenario you are having on your setup?

1) How the stream is broken? RTSP camera disconnected (turnoff)?

2) Or the camera still up running but it doesn't have the stream running?

3) Roughly how long the duration for the stream disconnected before it resume?

Meantime, when you run with opencv ingestor, can you add the "loop_video=true" into the VIdeoIngestion config through the ETCD webUI (example as below) and try with you scenario?

Hi Weng,

I am currently using virtual RTSP stream. May be just couple of seconds when stream disconnected, as I can see in VLC stream works perfectly fine.

Hi @kranthi_volteo ,

Did you try add the loop_video setting with opencv ingestor per suggestion earlier? Please let us know, thanks!

Hi Weng,

No, I can try but, we are not using file to loop, we are directly using rtsp stream URL in our pipeline.

Hi @kranthi_volteo ,

The loop_video for opencv will trigger retry if the stream disconnected. Therefore, suggest you to try with this config to check on the scenario you are seeing. Please let us know once you have a chance to try it.'

thanks!
