SAT-IP rtsp streams fail to open (foobar2k 1.6.2)

I'm new to foobar2000 (1.6.2) and need some guidance on how to get certain rtsp streams to work.

My AVM DVB-C receiver acts as a SAT>IP server streaming cable TV and radio.  URLs to its streams look like this:
Code: [Select]
rtsp://192.168.178.2:554/?freq=434&bw=8&msys=dvbc&mtype=256qam&sr=6900&specinv=0&pids=0,16,17,18,20,119,528
(this happens to be the radio station JAM FM)

Vlc, DVBViewer and ffplay open and play these URLs, ffmpeg has no problems and ffprobe yields (search for JAM FM):

Code: [Select]
Input #0, rtsp, from 'rtsp://192.168.178.2:554/?freq=434&bw=8&msys=dvbc&mtype=256qam&sr=6900&specinv=0&pids=0,16,17,18,20,119,528':

While foobar handles MP2, it does not open/play the stream:

Code: [Select]
Unable to open item for playback (IWMReader::Open failed : Unknown error code (0xC00D2EE0)):

So I was hoping that the FFmpeg Decoder Wrapper component could be used.  But it looks as if the ffprobe/ffmpeg commands from the Wrapper are never executed.

I gather rtsp support is built-in.  Can it be disabled in favour of FFmpeg Decoder Wrapper?  What do I need to do?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Have a look in Preferences > Playback > Decoding. Move the FFMPEG decoder above the default MPEG decoder, or deselect the MPEG one.

(I'm not sure if that'll fix the problem though...)

Cheers

Moving the FFWrapper up makes a small difference:  FFprobe does get executed but playback still fails with the same error.

For debugging purposes, I created a dummy ffprobe.exe from a batchfile that essentially does a "echo @* > tmpfile".

After clicking on the stream item in foobar, tmpfile contains this:
Code: [Select]
c:\usr\local\ffmpeg\bin\ffprobe.exe  -of xml -show_format -show_streams -show_chapters -hide_banner "c:\temp\APPDAT~1\foo_input_exe-20FD0F1B-74C0-452D-AAF0-86C149FA048F."

Alas, foo_input_exe-20FD0F1B-74C0-452D-AAF0-86C149FA048F. is deleted right away, so I don't know what it contained (the rtsp URL?).

So I reinstated the real ffprobe.exe and created a dummy ffmpeg.exe that echoes its command line to the tmpfile.

But that tmpfile is never created. So ffmpeg does not seem to get executed.

Is there a way to somehow prevent the foo_input_exe-20FD0F1B-74C0-452D-AAF0-86C149FA048F created by ffprobe from getting deleted?
