Server webpage bug

I'm running DW Spectrum 5.0.0.35746 on Windows 10 servers.

Reproducing the bug:

  1. Open the server webpage in updated Chrome or Edge.
  2. Go to "View" and select a camera.
  3. Select the gear icon, then "Camera Details".
  4. Mouse over the various stream links.

For me, all stream links are to webm videos. The RTSP section used to go to RTSP:// video links so I could copy the links for my DW Spot Monitors (they're terrible but I have a lot of them).

But I think there's more going on than just the links being wrong. If you go to Chrome DevTools and Inspect the code for this section, something weird is going on. The <Li>'s for each section is blinking and code appears and disappears at a fast rate. I've tried this on two separate systems in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox; all with the same result. I'm not a web dev, but something seems off with this page code.

If you can not reproduce this, I'll do a screen recording of what I'm talking about.

I did report this to Digital Watchdog, who suggested I find another way to build my RTSP links. So helpful.

    Hi Johnathan Powell,

    I'm with Digital Watchdog, find another way to build your RTSP links. ;-)

    Please navigate to the server API on your server by navigating to:

    https://<serverIP>:7001/#/api-tool/main

    Scroll down in the left-hand menu, till you see Media and select RTSP Streaming.

    The standard URL should provide you a URL you can use in your application.

    Default URL is:

    rtsp://<serverIP>:7001/<cameraID>

    For example:

    rtsp://192.168.178.1.10:7001/2ab984a4-b807-6d2f-fc2f-9e01bbdac

    Entering the credentials with a Bearer authentication is required, and you could use Digest authentication as well, but it requires a specific user for that purpose, as described HERE.

    The easiest way to find the applicable camera ID (1) is to navigate to the Camera Settings menu, tab General and expand the information with the More Info button.

    You also could use the direct RTSP stream from the cameras (2) but be aware that not all camera have enough resources to stream to multiple devices at once and this could affect the stability of the streams. In this case, camera credentials are used.
