Fixed VLC unable to connect to camera
Not sure where to post this, but I got the error:
Your input can't be opened VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://192.168.178.173/live'. Check the log for details.
There are lots of questions about this on google -- but I didn't see the actual solution for my case. Which I managed to find myself. 🙂 So, in the hope that this might be useful to someone...
I had accidentally disallowed VLC local network access. On the Mac you can reenable it under
System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Local Network
which displays a list of programs that have tried to access the local network. VLC was set to Off. Setting it to On reenabled access.
