VIOFO asked me to try using the VLC player on my Android devices to see if VLC could successfully stream the "Live View" video using the RTSP URL rtsp://192.168.1.254
When the A229 Plus is configured as a 2-channel (front+rear) with a resolution of 1440p60+1440p30, VLC has the same rate of failure showing/playing the live stream. That means 95% of the time it shows nothing on the screen and on a few very rare attempts it will show a few frames to a few seconds of video. VLC will attempt to play for a short time and then VLC gives up on the RTSP stream. If no video is displayed in VLC and I retry the RTSP request several times, the A229 Plus eventually freezes and then reboots.
The video information screen during the 2-channel attempts shows no video data is being streamed to the client device.
When I reconfigure the A229 Plus to a single channel configuration with 1440p60 for the front camera, VLC quickly displays the video feed from the A229 Plus front camera, and it continues to play the feed for as long as I let it. The video information for the RTSP stream shows this:
