External Camera / Paxx Firmware / RTSP

Hello, is it even possible to display an external camera in Mainsail that is not connected via USB?

When I enter rtsp://BENUTZER:PASSWORT@195.188.87.55:8533/ch1, I only get “connecting” without anything happening.

(I can access the stream via the VLC player.)

Hi, there was a relevant discussion about a potential workaround:

Thank you very much for the link, but I already know it, and it only mentions the USB camera.

I would like to use a camera that is not connected to the printer via USB — hence this inquiry here, to see if that is even possible.

The PAXX firmware itself does not restrict the physical connection method of the camera — it should support any standard camera protocol, such as V4L2/USB cameras and RTSP network streams.
I’m wondering if the camera itself also needs some additional configuration. I came across another article about displaying a Wyze Camera with custom firmware in Mainsail:

Please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong — I’d like to dig into it further.
