How to open RTSP file?

The main problem with Apple QuickTime Real-time Streaming Protocol is that the RTSP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that RTSP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RTSP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install QuickTime Player

In this case, you should first verify that the QuickTime Player application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name QuickTime Player into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RTSP with QuickTime Player. Below is a list of programs that support the file RTSP.

Programs to open RTSP file

Remember to download programs supporting RTSP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of QuickTime Player with RTSP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RTSP file still does not use the QuickTime Player program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the QuickTime Player application as the default for handling the RTSP file.

Step 3. Update QuickTime Player to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the QuickTime Player program, it is possible that Apple QuickTime Real-time Streaming Protocol requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RTSP file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the RTSP file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RTSP file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RTSP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RTSP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RTSP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file RTSP except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the RTSP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RTSP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RTSP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
