mpv won't start when I run the bat file

[juliaplg]

I made a bat file inside mpv's folder exactly like the readme said but when I run it nothing happens

[exelix11]

Can you post the contents of bat file and the output that's printed when you run it from the cmd

[juliaplg]

the contents are "mpv rtsp://192.168.15.13:6666/"
and the output is "
C:\Users\user\Desktop\StreamSwitch\mpv>mpv rtsp://192.168.15.13:6666/"

This bat file doesn't launch SysDVR-Client so i assume it's just for the network RTSP mode in SysDVR, this means that when you launch the bat file your switch must:

• Have that IP address, not all routers always assign the same one but you should be able to enable it in the router settings
• Be running sysdvr in the right mode
• Be running a compatible game

Make sure to satisfy all these conditions and try again.
You can see the IP address of your switch in the settings.

How can I launch SysDVR-Client?

[exelix11]

Uhm first of all you should decide which streaming mode you want to use, network RTSP mode doesn't need the client, the others do.
To run the client you can launch the GUI version that's included in the release zip. Everything is explained in the guide.

I met all the conditions you said and it's still not working

[exelix11]

Just noticed your IP address looks wierd, are you connected to a hotspot ? Like a school network or something like that ? With that kind of connections the router may prevent communications between clients for security reasons.

[juliaplg]

No, I am at my home. How is it weird? I'll look in the router configs if I find a solution

[exelix11]

Typically routers use something like 192.168.1.X and networks that expect a lot of clients use 192.168.x.y. But this is totally up to the router, it's just that I had another user with a similar issue and turns out he was in a school network.
Still maybe something is preventing the communication between switch and the pc, can you try to ping switch from windows ?

Also, you could confirm the IP using some kind network analyser e.g. "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.techet.netanalyzerlite.an&hl=en_GB"

Sorry I'm really noob. How can I ping Switch?

[exelix11]

Open the cmd and type ping <your switch ip address> eg ping 192.168.15.13 assuming it didn't change and check if it can connect or fails.

[juliaplg]

Sorry it is in portuguese, but I think it means the ping worked?

[exelix11]

Yes it worked, assuming that's the right ip your PC can communicate with the switch correctly. Do you have the same version of sysdvr on switch and the client on pc (like downloaded both from the same release) ? Asking to be sure cause another user just had this problem.

[exelix11]

the contents are "mpv rtsp://192.168.15.13:6666/"
and the output is "
C:\Users\user\Desktop\StreamSwitch\mpv>mpv rtsp://192.168.15.13:6666/"

Also this was an old bug but possibly related, try changing it to mpv.com rtsp://192.168.15.13:6666/

[juliaplg]

Yes, I am using the lastest version of both.

Closing due to inactivity, iirc the problem here was mpv and not sysdvr, with latest release sysdvr can work with other players as well, hopefully you can find a workaround.
