I am developing a Smart TV application and streaming live video from an IP Camera is a huge portion of the functionality.

The camera's manual states that if it is set to stream MPEG-4 or H.264 that HTTP is not supported; only RTSP/RTP is.

The alternative (via HTTP) is Motion JPEG, which I would like to avoid as much as possible (terrible framerate on the TV).

Is there any JavaScript/HTML5 solution/wrapper for RTSP? The TV cannot run a Java applet or anything of the sort, and by default, the browser does not support RTSP.

Thanks!

There doesn't seem to be any pure JS or HTML5 solution for this. You'll probably need to go through a server that will transcode the video.
