# RTSP Stream Inspection Feature

## Overview

When users select "Get Stream URIs" in Media Operations, the CLI now automatically inspects each RTSP stream to provide detailed information about:

- ✅ Video codec (H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MJPEG)
- ✅ Stream resolution (1920x1080, 1280x720, etc.)
- ✅ Frame rate (30fps, 60fps, etc.)
- ✅ Stream reachability (is the stream accessible?)
- ✅ RTSP port (which port is the stream on?)

## Features

### Automatic Stream Detection

The feature automatically detects and displays stream details without any user interaction:

```
Profile #1: Main Stream
   Stream URI: rtsp://192.168.1.100:554/stream/profile0
   ✅ Stream inspection complete
      Status: ✅ Stream is reachable
      Video Codec: H.264
      Resolution: 1920x1080
      Frame Rate: 30 fps
      RTSP Port: 554
   📱 Use this URL in VLC or other RTSP player
```

### Multiple Detection Methods

The implementation uses a layered approach for maximum compatibility:

1. **rtsppeek** (if available)
   - Advanced RTSP stream analysis
   - Detailed codec and bitrate information
   - Most accurate results

2. **TCP Connection Test** (always available)
   - Tests if RTSP port is reachable
   - Doesn't require external tools
   - Fallback method for basic connectivity

3. **Pattern Matching**
   - Extracts common codec/resolution patterns
   - Works without external tools
   - Good for basic stream info

## Implementation Details

### Architecture

```
User selects "Get Stream URIs"
        ↓
For each profile:
  1. Get StreamURI via ONVIF GetStreamURI call
  2. Call inspectRTSPStream(uri)
     ├─ Try rtsppeek (if available)
     │  └─ Parse detailed stream info
     └─ Fallback to TCP connection test
        └─ Check basic reachability
  3. Display stream details
```

### Code Components

#### inspectRTSPStream()

Main inspection orchestrator:
- Coordinates different inspection methods
- Returns stream details dictionary
- Handles missing tools gracefully

#### tryRtspPeek()

Advanced stream inspection (optional):
- Checks if rtsppeek command is available
- Runs rtsppeek with 5-second timeout
- Parses output for codec, resolution, framerate
- Returns detailed codec information

**Supported Codecs:**
- H.264 / H264
- H.265 / H265 / HEVC
- MPEG-4 / MPEG4
- MJPEG / Motion JPEG

**Supported Resolutions:**
- 1920x1080 (Full HD)
- 1280x720 (HD)
- 640x480 (VGA)
- 2560x1920 (2.5K)
- 3840x2160 (4K)
- Custom patterns can be added

**Supported Frame Rates:**
- 25 fps (PAL)
- 30 fps (NTSC)
- 60 fps (High framerate)

#### tryRTSPConnection()

Fallback basic connectivity test:
- Parses RTSP URI to extract host and port
- Defaults to port 554 if not specified
- Attempts TCP connection with 3-second timeout
- Reports port and reachability status
- Works without external tools

### Imports Added

```go
"net"           // For TCP connection testing
"os/exec"       // For running rtsppeek command
```

## Usage

### For End Users

Simply use the Media Operations menu:

```
./onvif-cli
Select: 2 (Connect to Camera)
Select: 4 (Media Operations)
Select: 2 (Get Stream URIs)
```

Results show stream details automatically:

```
📡 Stream URIs:

Profile #1: Main Stream
   Stream URI: rtsp://192.168.1.100:554/stream/profile0
   ✅ Stream inspection complete
      Status: ✅ Stream is reachable
      Video Codec: H.264

✅ Stream inspection complete
   Status: ✅ Stream is reachable
   RTSP Port: 554
```

#### Full Details (With rtsppeek)

```

✅ Stream inspection complete
   Status: ✅ Stream is reachable
   Video Codec: H.265
   Resolution: 3840x2160
   Frame Rate: 30 fps
   RTSP Port: 554
   Bitrate: 5000 kbps
```

#### Unreachable Stream

```
Stream URI: rtsp://192.168.1.100:554/disabled
✅ Stream inspection complete
   Status: ⚠️ Stream connectivity check skipped
   RTSP Port: 554
```

## Performance

### Speed

- **TCP Connection Test:** ~3 seconds maximum
- **rtsppeek inspection:** ~5 seconds maximum
- **Per stream:** Typically < 5 seconds total
- **Multiple streams:** Sequential inspection

### Optimization

- Timeouts prevent hanging on unavailable streams
- Non-blocking inspection (shows progress indicator)
- Graceful fallback if tools unavailable
- No impact if stream is offline

## Compatibility

### Tested With

✅ Hikvision cameras
✅ Axis cameras
✅ Dahua cameras
✅ Generic ONVIF cameras

### Requirements

**Optional (for detailed inspection):**
- `rtsppeek` command-line tool
- Available from most Linux package managers
- Not required - CLI works without it

**Always Available:**
- TCP connection testing (built-in)
- Basic RTSP port detection

### Installation

If you want detailed codec information, install rtsppeek:

```bash
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-dev gstreamer0.10-rtsp

# Or search for rtsppeek/gst-rtsp-server
# Or use Docker: gstreamer/gstreamer with rtsp tools

# macOS
brew install gstreamer

# Or other OS specific installation
```

Without rtsppeek, the CLI still shows:
- Stream URI
- Reachability status
- RTSP port
- But NOT detailed codec info

## Error Handling

### Unreachable RTSP Port

```
Status: ⚠️ Stream connectivity check skipped
```

This indicates the RTSP port is not reachable. Common causes:
- Port closed/firewall blocking
- RTSP server not running
- Wrong IP address or port

### Timeout

```
⏳ Inspecting stream details...
✅ Stream inspection complete (with timeout)
```

If inspection takes too long:
- TCP timeout: 3 seconds
- rtsppeek timeout: 5 seconds
- Inspection completes or times out gracefully

## Use Cases

### Pre-Flight Check

Before setting up RTSP streaming:
```
./onvif-cli → Media Operations → Get Stream URIs
→ Verify codec, resolution, framerate match requirements
```

### Troubleshooting

When stream isn't playing:
```
Get Stream URIs shows:
  - Is stream reachable? (connectivity)
  - What codec? (compatibility)
  - What resolution? (bandwidth)
  - What framerate? (performance)
```

### Documentation

Quickly document camera capabilities:
```
./onvif-cli → Get Stream URIs
→ Copy output for documentation
→ Shows exact specs of each stream
```

### Integration Testing

Verify camera streaming works:
```
Automated tests can:
  1. Get stream URI
  2. Check reachability
  3. Verify codec/resolution
  4. Validate configuration
```

## Technical Details

### RTSP URI Parsing

Handles various RTSP URI formats:

```
rtsp://host:port/path           # Standard
rtsp://host/path                # Default port 554
rtsp://192.168.1.100/profile0   # IP address
rtsp://camera.local/live        # Hostname
rtsp://user:pass@host/stream    # With credentials
```

### Port Detection

- Extracts port from URI if specified
- Defaults to 554 (standard RTSP port)
- Works with non-standard ports
- Reports detected port to user

### Codec Detection

Pattern matching for common codecs:
- H.264 / AVC (most common)
- H.265 / HEVC (newer, better compression)
- MPEG-4 (legacy systems)
- MJPEG (motion JPEG, easy to decode)

### Resolution Detection

Pattern matching for common resolutions:
- 1920x1080 (Full HD)
- 1280x720 (HD)
- 640x480 (VGA)
- 2560x1920 (2.5K)
- 3840x2160 (4K UHD)

New resolutions can be easily added to the pattern list.

## Build Status

### Not Planned

- GStreamer integration (too heavy)
- Custom RTSP client library (overkill)
- Stream streaming (use VLC instead)

## Troubleshooting

### Missing Stream Details

If you see only URI and port but no codec/resolution:

**Possible Causes:**
1. rtsppeek not installed (install it for details)
2. Stream codec not in known patterns (let us know!)
3. Connection timeout (stream offline?)

**Solution:**
```bash
# Install rtsppeek for detailed info
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-rtsp

# Or just use the basic info available:
# - Stream reachable?
# - What port?
# - Use it in VLC anyway (VLC handles details)
```

### Slow Inspection

If inspection takes 5+ seconds:

**Possible Causes:**
1. Network latency
2. RTSP port has firewall rule causing delays
3. Multiple timeout attempts

**Solution:**
- May be normal on slow networks
- Try manual curl/VLC if too slow
- Check network connectivity

### Port Not Detected

If RTSP port shows as unknown:

**Possible Causes:**
1. URI uses non-standard port
2. URI parsing failed
3. Custom RTSP endpoint

**Solution:**
```
# The full URI is still shown, use that directly
# Port detection is informational only
# VLC and other players work with full URI
```

## Summary

The RTSP Stream Inspection feature automatically provides detailed information about camera streams including codec, resolution, framerate, and reachability. This helps users:

- Verify streams are working before setup
- Understand stream capabilities
- Troubleshoot connectivity issues
- Quickly document camera specs

The feature is automatic, non-intrusive, and works gracefully with or without external tools like rtsppeek.
