Im looking for a way to record/dump an RTSP stream. I have 2 IP camera where the output is in the form of a RTSP stream. Im looking at trying to use docker or an addon with LE. Anyone got any pointers. It seems pointless to buy more hardware when my chromebox is on 24/7 and seems to have the the required hardware to perform the task. Ive been looking at OpenRTSP as the program to do what i want. Really could do with some pointers from anyone in the know. Cheers.

you can use kodi to open rtsp streams, maybe you can use the PVR functionality with tvheadend or another iptv client to open and record rtsp streams.
see here for basic usage, Internet video and audio streams - Official Kodi Wiki

Im looking for a way to record/dump an RTSP stream. I have 2 IP camera where the output is in the form of a RTSP stream.IP cameras is a functionality which really should today be a part of the Kodi, including alarm / motion detect recording and popping up the picture in the screen corner and multiple live cam view. Could be part of Tvheadend backend, too.
There are different functionalities regarding IP cameras. Depending on desired, one of the following might be of use.
1. IPCamera direct alarm recording: To record using alarms / motion detection: my cameras have internal software which can be configured to record directly to the external or internal memory (HDD, NAS, MicroSD card...). My cameras in that mode must have different users with assigned desired disk quota for each camera (if external HDD / NAS is used). May be a problem to watch with Kodi (my cams recordings made this way can not be browsed nor watched with Kodi).
2. Remote control map: Just to watch the live feed from cameras, I have assigned them to some keys (Red, Green, Yellow, Blue) at my remote. I press a key, and the selected Camera pops up, regardles of what I am doing with Kodi which is a great advantage. That works perfectly at a TV with remote, not ideal or even not usable when watching on a computer, phone or a tablet. No recording.
3. Tvheadend backend IPTV map: To watch and record. Added my cams as IPTV channels so they appear after my regular LiveTV. I can watch and manually record them same as any other LiveTV channel. This method is slow to start showing a stream. You can program recording using Manual Time Schedule, but I do not expect this to be elegant solution for recording as it is unavare of the alarms / motion. Advantage: works the same at any device and platform using Kodi.
All 3 methods above work with no problems, my cameras are used as FullHD, RP2 and RP3 the same.
