Probably should find a linux networking specific community for this one…

I have a strange issue that feels very familiar, like I’ve fixed it before, but I can’t remember how.

I try to rtsp to security cam:

ffplay rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/h264Preview_01_main

And I get a no route:

Connection to tcp://192.168.19.137:554?timeout=0 failed: No route to host

rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/h264Preview_01_main: No route to host

Strange, I’m in the same subnet 192.168.19.129/24, and it worked a few days ago.

Check ping:

ping 192.168.19.137

PING 192.168.19.137 (192.168.19.137) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from 192.168.19.137: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=5.69 ms

Of course… So I run the command again;

ffplay rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/h264Preview_01_main

And now it works.

I could bandaid by crontabbing a ping every hour or something, but I would really like to know why I’m getting a ‘no route’ until I ping.

My routing table is pretty basic:

default via 192.168.19.1 dev enp4s0 proto dhcp src 192.168.19.129 metric 100

default via 192.168.19.1 dev enp4s0 proto dhcp src 192.168.19.129 metric 1002

172.17.0.0/16 dev docker0 proto kernel scope link src 172.17.0.1 linkdown

172.18.0.0/16 dev br-68c1e0344e27 proto kernel scope link src 172.18.0.1 linkdown

192.168.19.0/24 dev enp4s0 proto dhcp scope link src 192.168.19.129 metric 1002

192.168.19.1 dev enp4s0 proto dhcp scope link src 192.168.19.129 metric 1024

And I don’t think I have any rules in firewall for LAN.

Any ideas?

    Dunno how helpful this is but when I’ve had this problem in the past it was an IP conflict. Are you setting static IPs or are you using DHCP reserves for everything?
