Convert onvif stream to rtsp address in c#

I am developing a project using c#.in my project i should get the camera stream .So i use onvif to get the stream but i faced a problem .some of my camera can't support onvif and they support RTSP,and i have to use rtsp in my project to :
Here is my onvif code to get the camera stream :
async void StartCameraAfterLogin()
{
//Dooooorbin
await ProcessConnect("http://172.16.0.52/onvif/device_service"
, Properties.Settings.Default.CameraUserName, Properties.Settings.Default.CameraPassword);
}
async Task ProcessConnect(string addr, string name, string pass)
{
//Release();
//ctrlInfo.Content = new ProgressControl();
var account = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(name, pass);
NvtSessionFactory factory = new NvtSessionFactory(account);
////This is syncronouse ui blokking call
//var session = factory.CreateSession(new Uri(addr);
try
{
var session = factory.CreateSession(new Uri(addr));
ss = session;
await FillInfoArea(session);
}
catch (Exception err)
{
Algoa.Utilities.Logger.ToDebug(err);
//ctrlInfo.Content = new ErrorControl(err);
}
}
string profie;
private async Task FillInfoArea(INvtSession session)
{
var profInfo = new ProfieInfoControl();
try
{
var streamData = await profInfo.Init(session);
//sp.Children.Add(profInfo);
profie = profInfo.valueToken.Text;
InitVideoControl(streamData.Item1, streamData.Item4, session.credentials);
//InitPtzControl(session, streamData.Item2, streamData.Item3);
}
catch (Exception err)
{
Algoa.Utilities.Logger.ToDebug(err);
}
//ctrlInfo.Content = sp;
}
private void InitVideoControl(string suri, System.Windows.Size size, System.Net.NetworkCredential networkCredential)
{
InitPlayer(suri, networkCredential, size);
}
public void InitPlayer(string videoUri, NetworkCredential account, System.Windows.Size sz = default(System.Windows.Size))
{
player = new HostedPlayer();
playerDisposable.Add(player);
if (sz != default(System.Windows.Size))
videoBuff = new VideoBuffer((int)sz.Width, (int)sz.Height);
else
{
videoBuff = new VideoBuffer(720, 576);
}
player.SetVideoBuffer(videoBuff);
MediaStreamInfo.Transport transp = MediaStreamInfo.Transport.Udp;
MediaStreamInfo mstrInfo = null;
if (account != null)
{
mstrInfo = new MediaStreamInfo(videoUri, transp, new UserNameToken(account.UserName, account.Password));//, transp, null);
}
else
{
mstrInfo = new MediaStreamInfo(videoUri, transp);
}
playerDisposable.Add(
player.Play(mstrInfo, this)
);
InitPlayback(videoBuff, true);
//{ // playing controls
// btnPause.Click += play;
// btnResume.Click += play;
//}
}
How can i convert my onvif url to rtsp url ?Is there any solution or i should change all part of my code?
I am new in camera stream coding .

I downloaded the OZEKI-SDK
private IIPCamera _camera;
private DrawingImageProvider _imageProvider = new DrawingImageProvider();
private MediaConnector _connector = new MediaConnector();
private VideoViewerWF _videoViewerWF1;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
// Create video viewer UI control
_videoViewerWF1 = new VideoViewerWF();
_videoViewerWF1.Name = "videoViewerWF1";
_videoViewerWF1.Size = panel1.Size;
panel1.Controls.Add(_videoViewerWF1);
// Bind the camera image to the UI control
_videoViewerWF1.SetImageProvider(_imageProvider);
}
// Connect camera video channel to image provider and start
private void connectBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
_camera = IPCameraFactory.GetCamera("rtsp://192.168.113.150:554/ufirststream", "root", "pass");
_connector.Connect(_camera.VideoChannel, _imageProvider);
_camera.Start();
_videoViewerWF1.Start();
}
As a another solution i finally used Accord.net library to capture rtsp stream.

Cant join to multicast group c#

In my project I need receive a video through UDP. Source have a IP 224.0.0.21, Sink have a IP 169.254.170.141. I receive video through a port 3956 (This is a valid information from Wireshark). I use SharpPcap for receive UDP traffic, but it have not methods for join to multicast. I try this code from MSDN, but it dont work.
IPAddress multicastaddress = IPAddress.Parse("224.0.0.21");
IPEndPoint remoteep = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 3956);
m_ClientTarget.JoinMulticastGroup(multicastaddress, localAddr);
In my PC I have some network adapters, but I use the IP address from device, that connected to source video. Source and sink connected directly. When I start monitor traffic in the wireshark my programm also receive packet, but without the wireshack it cant do it.

Without seeing your code (I´m assuming that there´s more than the snippet you show) it´s difficult to help you.
A basic setup for a client receiving multicast datagrams would be something like this untested snippet:
UdpClient mClient = new UdpClient(3956, AddressFamily.InterNetwork);
IPAdress groupAddress = IPAddress.Parse("224.0.0.21);
mClient.JoinMulticastGroup(groupAddress);
After that you the receiving using mClient.Receive()...
Maybe this helps? Or the documentation on MSDN (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ekd1t784(v=vs.110).aspx).
C.

I tested the code with ffmpeg
ffmpeg.exe -i aa.mp4 -f mpeg udp://224.0.0.21:3956
int PORT = 3956;
string MULTICAST_IP = "224.0.0.21";
UdpClient udpClient = new UdpClient(PORT);
udpClient.JoinMulticastGroup(IPAddress.Parse(MULTICAST_IP));
var from = new IPEndPoint(0, 0);
var recvBuffer = udpClient.Receive(ref from);

Bluetooth Server C# - 32feet

I want my computer to be a bluetooth server, handlig at least 100 connections from smartphones simultaneously. This is the idea:
I start the server and it begin to listen for connections. For each connection it should store the mac adress of the device. Each device should be able to send messages to the server and vice versa.
I've been searching a lot but didnt find a certain way.
How to listen for connections and handle them? Store in array? Start A Thread?
I've been able to start a 1 client server, but coudnt evolve it.

C# 32feet.Net: Handling two bluetooth connections in seperate threads, gives SocketException

I'm writing a C# console application using the 32feet.Net library that creates two threads to search for and connect to different Bluetooth devices and then open up TCP sockets so that data can be passed to the devices via a network connection. I know this situation sounds completely bizarre, but I've been asked to do this by a senior colleague.
My code seems to work OK with only one device connected, although the Bluetooth connection does sometimes drop out after a couple of messages have been passed backwards and forwards. However, sometimes as soon as the second device connects I get an error saying System.net.sockets.socketexception a connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond, other times the code just exits without throwing any exceptions.
I was wondering what is causing this, I've seen that the 32feet.Net library can support multiple connections. I'm wondering if I've made some errors, as I'm new to C#, .Net, and even Windows, and have never written any Bluetooth based code before.

Its very important to release any resources when disconnecting.
In order to find your COM port you can use this link
Your stream is located here:

SMS connecting to a phone from C# and getting a response

I wrote code to send an SMS using my GSM phone which is attached to the computer through COM port. The code is below.
The problem is I do see that it is in the outbox of the phone and it actually appears to have been sent, but when I contact the recipient they say that I have not received the message.
I test the phone, and I create and send a message using only the phone and it works perfectly. However, when I do this with my code, it APPEARS to have been sent, and I am getting all the correct AT COMMAND responses from the phone, but the message is actually NOT sent.

Usage example in a winforms application:
Hardware.TeliaModem _modem;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
_modem = new Hardware.TeliaModem(this);
_modem.OnNewSMS += new Hardware.TeliaModem.NewSmsHandler(ProcessNewSMS);
_timer.Interval = 1000; // milliseconds
_timer.Tick += new EventHandler(OnTimerTick);
_timer.Start();
}
To send an SMS:
_modem.SendSMS(sms.SourcePhone, "Aircon is now " + BoolToString.ON_OFF(_aircon.On));
On timer event, once every second:
private void OnTimerTick(object o, EventArgs e)
{
_modem.HeartBeat();
}
This is registered as Winforms timer handler, so that modem will not have a thread.
Some utility classes used:
namespace Utils
{
public class StopWatch
{
protected DateTime _resetTime;
public StopWatch() { Reset(); }
public void Reset() { _resetTime = DateTime.Now; }
public double TotalSeconds { get { return (DateTime.Now - _resetTime).TotalSeconds; } }
public TimeSpan Time { get { return DateTime.Now - _resetTime; } }
};
public class Timeouter : StopWatch
{
private bool _autoReset;
private double _timeout_s;
public Timeouter(double timeout_s, bool autoReset, bool timedOut = false)
{
_timeout_s = timeout_s;
_autoReset = autoReset;
if (timedOut)
_resetTime -= TimeSpan.FromSeconds(_timeout_s + 1); // This is surely timed out, as requested
}
public bool IsTimedOut()
{
if (_timeout_s == double.PositiveInfinity)
return false;
bool timedout = this.TotalSeconds >= _timeout_s;
if (timedout && _autoReset)
Reset();
return timedout;
}
public void Reset(double timeout_s) { _timeout_s = timeout_s; Reset(); }
public double TimeLeft { get { return _timeout_s - TotalSeconds; } }
}
}
I implemented this in order to turn on air conditioner with SMS (yeah, I live in a hot country). It works. Please feel free to use any of this code.
Enjoy.

Microsoft provides a pretty decent VB.Net example in a KB article "How to access serial and parallel ports by using Visual Basic .NET". I'm not sure what your phone returns, however, if you change the buffer loop in the example, you can at least print out the reply:
MSComm1.Output = "AT" & Chr(13)
Console.WriteLine("Send the attention command to the modem.")
Console.WriteLine("Wait for the data to come back to the serial port...")
' Make sure that the modem responds with "OK".
' Wait for the data to come back to the serial port.
Do
Buffer = Buffer & MSComm1.Input
Console.WriteLine("Found: {0}", Buffer)
Loop Until InStr(Buffer, "OK" & vbCrLf)

GSMComm is a C# library that will allow you to easily interact with a GSM mobile in text or PDU mode. (The site also has a bunch of testing utilities)

Working with GSM modem to send SMS has never been a good idea as such. Here's a checklist to make sure your SMS is sent out properly.
You are sending the SMS in text mode. Try sending it in PDU mode.
Try this library http://phonemanager.codeplex.com/
Do you change SMSC number before sending out the SMS, if so make sure the SMSC is correct.
Also make sure your SIM card has enough credits to let you send outbound SMS.
Check the network status especially when you're sending out SMS from your program. This might be a problem.
I recommend you checkout the Lite edition of NowSMS gateway that comes for free and lets you work with GSM modem very continently. NowSMS will give you api abstraction over a GSM modem connection, so you wil just need to call the Http Api of NowSMS gateway, rest will be taken care by the NowSMS gateway.
Above all this, if your end-users are going to remain internet connected while using your application or if your application is web-based and hosted over internet, I strongly recoomend to do away with GSM modem option and opt-in for reliable Http SMS gateway service providers.
