i want to get description of the screen can anyone please suggest why i am getting this error and how to resolve it ??

Answer 1

The error message sounds like that openRTSP can't find the host simplelive.nexg.tv. Try within a terminal window: ping simplelive.nexg.tv

If the ping can't resolve the name or your host is not reachable than you have a network problem that is unrelated to openRTSP.

I'd search for UBUNTU basic network troubleshooting -
