Can't get RTSP to work

[alex-rsk]

Question

Hello, i stuck with simple task: I have some RTSP stream, I want to read it and broadcast through mediamtx.
My config file is:

  paths:
    cam1:
       source: rtsp://zephyr.rtsp.stream/pattern?streamKey=87a01fc49801f9771ecd0bb7666d6c04

The stream is active and I can watch it with VLC player.

I got:
closed: no one is publishing to path 'cam1'
'
Tested with several 100% working RSTP streams and still getting this errror.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello, the configuration seems right to me, that error is usually shown when the server can't pull the stream from the camera. If you still have problems, post the full server log, that generally contains the precise error.
