I'm streaming a video from an RTSP source and sometimes it may take some time to connect to the stream (a known issue with a specific camera).
I would like to indicate to the users that it's connecting by presenting a text overlay on top of the black screen it presents until the connection is successful.
I tried both text overlay and OSD an none of the worked before the connection is established.
Is that a known issue, or am I doing something wrong?

Hi
Please update to v14.4.2 and use:
VideoCapture1.StatusOverlay = new TextStatusOverlay();
Using TextStatusOverlay class, you can configure "Connecting" text, font, brush, etc.
