Question

I'm developing a Tizen TV application that requires a simple player to stream RTSP content. However, I'm unable to play the RTSP URL. Has anyone successfully implemented RTSP streaming in a Tizen TV app? Any guidance or working examples would be greatly appreciated.

Answer

Problem Understanding

The user is attempting to implement RTSP streaming in a Tizen TV application but encountering playback issues. This appears to be a common challenge due to platform limitations.

Solution Methods

Configuration Check:
- Verify the config.xml settings:
  - Ensure proper privileges are declared
  - Check the <access> tag to allow network access
  - Confirm Content Security Policy (CSP) settings are properly configured
Platform Limitation:
- Tizen TV currently does not natively support RTSP protocol
- Consider alternative streaming protocols (HLS, MPEG-DASH) that are supported
Contact Samsung:
- For official confirmation and potential workarounds, contact Samsung Developer Support

Code Examples

For configuration reference:

<!-- config.xml example for network access -->
<access origin="*" subdomains="true"/>
<access origin="http://*" subdomains="true"/>
<access origin="https://*" subdomains="true"/>

<!-- Privileges example -->
<tizen:privilege name="http://tizen.org/privilege/internet"/>

Additional Tips

Always test with supported streaming protocols first
Check the official documentation for the latest supported media formats
Consider using a proxy server to convert RTSP to a supported protocol if absolutely necessary
