The first 37 bytes look similar to a video stream but are invalid for
a hevc video,
making auto-detection more difficult. Not sure if this should be fixed,
could you tell us the name of the IP camera?
Could this be a bug in openrtsp?

Thank you for the sample, Carl Eugen

"67" and "4d" are not valid, neither is "ee" in the second "NAL".
00 00 00 01 4 01 is the actual start of the video stream.
