Best practice and troubleshooting when using RTSP

Updated over a week ago

Best Practice

We recommend the following additions to add extra value to your use of our two RTSP feed options:

Employ both CloudLink RTSP and Raw Feed RTSP

For customers with multi-angle scenes (Sideline Virtual Panorama cameras + Goal Cameras), you can open all feeds at the same time. In the above scenario you could:

  • CloudLink RTSP connect from the Virtual Panorama cameras

  • Connect the raw feed RTSP from each goal camera

  • The CloudLink RTSP feed will be approximately 3 seconds behind the raw feed RSTP

  • View your game from multi-angles, all at once, live!

Having both the CloudLink RTSP feed open and your goal camera feed allows for a complete tactical overview:


Troubleshooting Questions and Answers

Read here for common questions/problems and how to solve

a. CloudLink RTSP

Q: I enter the CloudLink URL into Sportscode but it fails to load. What is wrong?

A: Newer versions of Sportscode have a setting that does not support the CloudLink RTSP feed, called 'Enhanced Capture'. To disable this, go to Sportscode settings > Capture > Check 'Disable Enhanced Capture':

A Cont.: If you still do not receive a feed, please check that you are receiving a camera feed in Spiideo Perform.


Q: I start CloudLink recordings on multiple scenes at once and some do not load quickly when fed into my external program. Why is this?
A: Multiple CloudLink sessions at one time can create a small delay which can last up to 15 minutes. Please be patient and reach out to Spiideo support if you're concerned


Q: My CloudLink feed is constantly freezing. Do you know why?
A: We require a steady 30mbps per camera on the scene. We also require a low level of packet loss during upload to ensure steady video. If you are experiencing these issues and would like Spiideo to provide some diagnostics, please reach out to support


Q: Where do I find the button to get my CloudLink URL?

A: Please refer to Step 3 in the CloudLink User guide here


b. Raw Feed RTSP

Q: I am not receiving a feed from my cameras in my external program. What is wrong?

A: First check you are receiving a feed from the cameras in Spiideo Perform. Then, check you are on the same network as the cameras


Q: The camera is not moving at all, what do I do?
A: Our raw feed RTSP is the raw camera feed without AutoFollow or further processing. If you are looking for RTSP with AutoFollow, please read more about our Cloudlink feature here!
