openRTSP rtsp://simplelive.nexg.tv:554/starplus_mpeg.sdp

i am getting the error 

Failed to get a SDP description for the URL "rtsp://simplelive.nexg.tv:554/starjalsha_mpeg.sdp": Failed to find network address for "simplelive.nexg.tv"

i want to get description of the screen can anyone please suggest why i am getting this error and how to resolve it ??

Solution

  • The error message sounds like that openRTSP can't find the host simplelive.nexg.tv. Try within a terminal window: ping simplelive.nexg.tv

    If the ping can't resolve the name or your host is not reachable than you have a network problem that is unrelated to openRTSP.
