How to Play Multiple Streams with FFPLAY at the Same Time using RTSP Url

Question

I am trying to play live stream coming from the server with RTSP URL. A sample RTSP URL is given below:

rtsp://username:password@machine_ip/42331536059e9f21

Actually, this stream is the call between two participants (caller & called). But when I play this URL with FFPLAY, I get just one stream(called) while I should get both streams (caller and called). I am using the following command:

ffplay rtsp://username:password@machine_ip/42331536059e9f21

Am I missing some parameters along with this command to fetch all streams.

Actually, FFPLAY is unable to play both streams at the same time. How can we actually both streams with this? — Bilal Ahmed Yaseen, Mar 11 '16 at 11:23
Ah ok, I'm not an FFmpeg specialist but Googling seems to show that `-filter_complex amix` could help with this. But look at the FFmpeg documentation for more details on this filter. — Rudolfs Bundulis, Mar 11 '16 at 11:44

It's actually the limitation of FFPLAY that it doesn't support multiple streams at the same time.

FFplay has currently no support for playing two audio streams simultaneously.

Here is the reference of this answer.
