#### Viewing the RTSP Stream with [ffplay](https://ffmpeg.org/ffplay.html)
Once you've discovered a valid RTSP path (e.g., `/mpeg4`, `/live.sdp`) and confirmed access (unauthenticated or with credentials), you can use `ffplay` to stream the feed:
```bash
ffplay -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://<IP>/mpeg4 -x 2560 -y 1440
```
- `-rtsp_transport tcp`: Use TCP instead of UDP for more reliable streaming
- `-x`, `-y`: Optional flags to control video resolution
- Replace `<IP>` and path as needed
