the supported values are: enabled / disabled / auto
– GetStr (RTSP_ONVIF_Info_AuxiliaryCommands_str)
retrieves the list of the auxiliary commands available for this camera, as a string made of words separated by “\r\n” characters
– SetBool (RTSP_VideoStream_Decode_KeyFrames_Only_bool, true/false)
If true, only I-Frames are decoded. Can be enabled/disabled on the fly without stopping/restarting the graph. Saves decoding CPU by previewing at 1 fps or so, depending on the GOP size (key frame spacing). Default: false
Can be enabled through the URL by adding at the end of the URL: >maxframerate=-1
fixed
– the filter may not select the best stream quality when several video streams with different compressions are available
