Not able to stream RTSP on IOS. EXC_BAD_ACCESS when run

[CVHOANG-coder]

I am trying to live stream using RTSP, the url is wokring fine in the actual media player but it's not working and show error: EXC_BAD_ACCESS when trying to stream it using VLCPlayer. Both simulator and real device

[GustavoBonfimS]

any solution ?

I faced this issue building in an Mac M1. The app crashes on simulator but works fine in real device.
The temporary solution for me was building with different arch using:
yarn ios --simulator "iPhone 15" --destination arch=x86_64

I'm facing this error as well, is there any more solutions to it?

[CVHOANG-coder]

replace special symbol in url path. Example '@' to '%40'. valid url : encodeURI(), encodeURIComponent(). I fix it

[maddisonbruckelmyer01]

That doesn't seem to work for me

Thank, I used it and it stopped crashing

valid url : encodeURI(),

where to do this??

[tunm1228]

encodeURIComponent

If your account or password contains special characters, use encodeURIComponent

I am just getting rtmp live streaming link from backend like
uri: "rtmp://a704d90f9059140b6aa1bc1e9a918f45-1788519902.ap-south-1.elb.amazonaws.com:1935/live/4db23812-6918-49ef-80ee-d02e64d6a6fb",
working fine for iOS 17.2 and lower but crashing above that.

Your path has no special characters, so this is not the case I encountered.Please learn more.

I'm facing the same problem. Enconding the URL as @tunm1228 sugested did not work for me. The app stops crashing but the player is not able to play the video. My RTSP camera stream URL is "rtsp://admin:econdos123@192.168.1.123:554/Streaming/channels/101".

I've created a sample repository with the problem occurring: https://github.com/diegods-ferreira/react-native-vlc-media-player-ios-crashing

I'm trying to stream HLS and I get the same crash.

[hakanakin]

Hey, if you’re using <TouchableWithoutFeedback></TouchableWithoutFeedback> and your app crashes, you should replace it with a different option.

[fredrikburmester]

I can say that I'm not using TouchableWithoutFeedback and it is still crashing for me.

I was able to solve my problem with RTSP streaming. It turns out I had to request for Apple's Multicast Networking Entitlement permission so my app could stream. Apparently this had been going since iOS 17 and I just now realised. But once I got permission for multicast networking my app stopped crashing.

For anyone who wants to know how to request this permission, here it is: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/663271?answerId=639455022#639455022

I am trying to play a live video with an .FLV file, but it also encounters the same error as mentioned above. I have tried the solutions above, but none of them worked. I am using React Native 0.72.14.

[diegods-ferreira]

@chienvuvan99 I did not try using this lib for .flv files so I wouldn't know if it would work for them, I'm sorry. As I said, my solution solved my problem with RTSP streaming =/
