Description

What version of Streaming-Meda-Cordova-Plugin are you using? 0.1.4

What version of Cordova are you using? 7.0.1

What devices are affected? Android, IOs

Please describe the issue in detail, with relevant code samples

I could play a video using this example url: rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_175k.mov. It works fine. But, when I try to use my needed url, which uses authentication, like rtsp://admin:admin@myurl:554/live, I get the Error: Unknown(1) - 2147483648.

I guess that the error is regarding the authentication. Does someone know how to workaround it?

Thanks,

Gustavo

Research direction
Investigate how the plugin handles URL parsing for RTSP streams, particularly authentication credentials in the URL (userinfo). Compare the working example without auth (rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny 175k.mov) versus the failing one with auth (rtsp://admin:admin@myurl:554/live). Check the native Android source code (likely MediaPlayer.java or streaming media player implementation) for URL handling, and consider whether the plugin's media player supports URI with user info. Also review iOS implementation (likely MPMoviePlayerController or AVPlayer) for similar issues. Look at issue comments for any attempted solutions.
