MMM-RTSPStream - no video

[zdenek]

I need help. I’ve installed MMM-RTSPStream, followed manual, generated confiq…but after run MM there is just white border, but no picture. Camera is AirLive 2025 HD, based on http://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=airlive I’ve tried urls
rtsp://user:pass@ip:554/stream1
rtsp://user:pass@ip:554//stream1
rtsp://user:pass@ip/stream1
rtsp://user:pass@ip//stream1
and also /video.mp4 and //mp4 and also without user:pass

tried rtsp on VLC and after entering IP and name and pass I can see video in VLC player (VLC doesn’t ask for port)

http://IPADDRESS/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi works in Chrome like a charm

in camera homepage config is port 554 configured properly.

what I’m doing wrong?

@shbatm - any suggestion?

thanks, Zdeněk

Have you disabled any other modules to make sure there isn’t a conflict with one? I ran into the issue with the MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic module (see pr for fix: https://github.com/vicmora/MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic/pull/24). Before applying that fix I was getting the box, but no video. Also had issues with other modules loading.

@zdenek said in MMM-RTSPStream - no video:

http://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=airlive

I’ve used also “sample” config and added just MMM-RTSPStream module, but the same result. I’ve red about Google Maps, but I don’t use this module

module config:

{
    module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
    position: "top_left",
    config: {
        autoStart: true,
        rotateStreams: true,
        rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
        moduleWidth: 354,
        moduleHeight: 240,
        localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
        remotePlayer: 'none',
        showSnapWhenPaused: true,
        remoteSnaps: true,
        stream1: {
            name: '',
            url: 'rtsp://IPADDRESS/stream1',
            frameRate: 'undefined',
            snapshotType: 'url',
            snapshotRefresh: 10,
            width: undefined,
            height: undefined,
            },
        }
},

That sounds interesting, because I’m apparently too stupid to get a picture on my MM from my Dahua IP camera. About VLC Player I can easily see the RTSP video stream on my PC.

Das klingt interessant, ich bin nämlich scheinbar auch zu blöd, ein Bild auf meinen MM von meiner Dahua IP Kamera zu bekommen. Über VLC Player kann ich ohne Probleme den RTSP Videostream auf meinem PC ansehen.

@zdenek Hello, what did you fix in Google Maps Traffic code?

Have same issue…

@zdenek I’ve never been able to get any stream working out of RTSPStream other than OMXPlayer, which is quite dead, sadly. What I’ve done is use an old pi I had lying around to run MotionEyeOS to convert the image, then MMM-EmbedURL to embed the web “Photo” generated by MotionEyeOS. I need a modern solution, but it works.

With RTSPStream going unsupported, I would look for another solution.

That being said, it does appear to have a direct URL = http://user:pass@192.168.X.X/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

If that produces a image stream DIRECTLY IN A BROWSER, you can use MMM-EmbedURL and the like to point directly at that and bam you’ve got it without a fuss. If it attempts to load a video player, no dice.
