iCamSource Pro 1.3.4 BETA Released with H.264/MPEG-4 Support
Stefan:
Yes, finally! :o
We are pleased to announce our first BETA release of the iCamSource Pro that now also includes preliminary support for H.264/MPEG-4 IP cameras!
We developed this feature with the Amcrest IP2M-841B ProHD 1080P camera, and are interested in hearing if it works for other H.264/MPEG-4 cameras that also support RTSP.
To test this new functionality, select the Ethernet / Wi-Fi tab in the iCamSource Pro 1.3.4 BETA, enter rtsp://x.x.x.x (where x.x.x.x is your camera's IP address) as the URL along with the camera's login and password and select the RTSP radio button.
We found that changing the camera's settings to 720p at 15 fps (instead of the default 1080p at 30 fps) worked well, but your mileage may vary. Both video and audio streaming is currently supported.
We currently only have a macOS version available, but will be releasing a Windows version soon.

If you have any other H.264/MPEG-4 cameras that support RTSP we would love to hear how it goes so that we can support as many cameras as possible.
Thanks! 8)
UPDATE: The Windows beta version of H.264/MPEG-4 support is now available here: https://skjm.com/icampro/iCamSourceProRTSP.zip
The download is a zip file containing the iCamSource Pro executable and several library files. You can extract the zip file anywhere on your computer. It will create a directory called "iCamSourceProRTSP" which contains several .dll files and an executable file named "WiniCamSource.exe". Double click the executable file to launch the program.
Note: This beta version of iCamSource Pro requires software libraries from Microsoft. These libraries are required by lots of programs, so some of you will already have them installed. If this version of iCamSource Pro crashes when you launch it, that probably means those libraries aren't on your computer. In that case, you can install the required libraries directly from Microsoft here: https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
If you have any problems with the installation instructions or with the beta version itself, please let us know in this thread.

I've tried it with a Foscam FI9821Pv2, and it instantly crashes. I've tried both entering the "rtsp://IP:port" (with username and password for the camera), and, following the instructions on this page: https://www.foscam.com/Faqs/view/id/81.html , I've tried using the "rtsp://username:pwd@IP:port/videoMain" format (both with and without using the username/password fields in iCamSource Pro). Anytime I put in an rtsp url, the application crashes instantly upon starting. I've tried using the URL format from that page in VLC, and that does work, so the stream exists...

Thanks for the feedback!
When you connect to the camera via VLC, if you could then open the Window > Media Information window (you can also press Command+I) and then send a screenshot of the Codec Details tab to support@skjm.com, that may give us a clue as to what the issue is.
Also, if you can find any crash logs (https://bjango.com/help/crashlogmac/) for the iCamSource Pro those would also be helpful. Thanks!

Thank you for the crash logs, schmegs! 8)
It looks like the issue is your computer is running a version of macOS that is earlier than 10.13. We have updated the iCamSource Pro to version 1.3.4.1 to support macOS 10.9 and later, so this version should work for you:

Well, no crash this time, but I get this error message (using all the different URL formats from my last message):
"openInputStreamWithURL ERROR (-875574520) Error number 875574520 occurred"
