Well, the remote camera is Axis 207 so it has its own server. There
is no mplayer on it. When I access camera from the network computer
the same as camera is on both vlc and mplayer work. But when I try
to stream over the internet (from different) it doesn't work.
Can mpalyer stream the mpeg 4 video file over rtsp; I think only
vlc can do it.
You mentioned in a previous message that mplayer and vlc work on one
computer, but not on the other. So we know they both work. I think the
problem is somewhere in the remote access. How are you accessing the
rtsp stream? Is it like so (example name and numbers)...
mplayer rtsp://10.1.2.3/stream_name
Things to check...
* if you're using a domain name rather than an IP address, is it defined
in the remote machine's /etc/hosts ?
* is the remote machine's firewall blocking the camera's IP address ?
* is the camera set to only stream to a specific IP address (range) ?

I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
I can login and access the camera setting over the Internet, the only part that
is not working is streaming over rtsp.
MotionJPEG works but that takes a lot of bandwidth.
I think you are correct it might have something to do with firewall.
I've open port range: 50000 to 50999 and forward it to 10.10.0.127 (this is
camera IP address on the other network).
When I try vlc:
Connection failed:
VLC could not connect to "66.18.xxx.xxx:554".
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://66.18.xxx.xxx:554/mpeg4/media.amp'. Check
the log for details.
I open port 9090 (tcp/udp) on the remote firewall and forward it to 10.10.0.127:80
But I'm puzzled why is it trying to connect to: 66.18.xxx.xxx:554
Maybe this is the problem.
rtsp port 554 is enabled on the camera.
