Issues specific to the Milestone XProtect integration.


Milestone - FFMpeg Authentication Issue

Symptom: Milestone NVR streams fail with FFMpeg/FFPlay/FFProbe SHA-256 authentication errors when using the Open Network Bridge.

Cause: The Milestone Open Network Bridge uses SHA-256 digest authentication by default, which is not supported by some FFMpeg builds.

Resolution (Option 1): Disable SHA-256 authentication via a Windows registry key on the Milestone server. Refer to Milestone documentation for the specific registry path.

Resolution (Option 2): Use the go2rtc stream proxy. Configure the Milestone stream through go2rtc, which handles the authentication translation transparently.
