stuck with MMM-RTSP module

Re: [MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras
I can’t get this working.
So i’ll started to do some independent test.
installed VLC player and then put my camera rtsp stream into VLC.
Getting this message: vlc can’ t open rtsp://userxxxx:pwxxxxx%@192.168.1.241:xxxx/Videomain.next stream in VLC plays perfect
rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.movthen I installed OMXplayer
Loaded following stream://sudo omxplayer -o hdmi rtsp://JSTAL:xxxxx@192.168.1.241:1052/videoMain
This works fine, full videoscreen of my IPcam.
then I modified config as follows
//{ module: 'MMM-RTSPStream', classes: 'default everyone', position: 'middle_center', config: { autoStart: true, rotateStreams: false, rotateStreamTimeout: 10, showSnapWhenPaused: false, moduleWidth: 354, moduleHeight: 240, localPlayer: 'omxplayer', stream1: { name: 'Webcam 1 Test Stream', url: 'rtsp://JSTAL:xxxxxxxx@192.168.1.241:1052/videoMain', snapshotUrl: '', snapshotRefresh: 10, // Seconds frameRate: "25", port: 9999, } } },
conclusion so far, installed software is OK
‘xxxxx’ in the rtsp stream is where i put my password.
password contains special char ‘%’ - can the be the reason of VLC not showing the stream.so i’m stuck…
any idea’s to solve are welcome. -
Maybe try changing the % to %25. This is the escape sequence for a percent sign in a url.
rtsp://myname:my%pass@123.456.789.123:9876/videoMain
becomes:
rtsp://myname:my%25pass@123.456.789.123:9876/videoMain -
thanks for the tip.
indeed changing the URL like you mentioned works in VLC. I can see the video image.
But still didn’t worked on the MM.
So I adapted the passwords.
Now all works fine. -
Guys,
I was able to install and configure correctly the RTSP module but only one camera works.
The second stream just show a black video.
I tried out to open it via OMXPLAYER and I do not get eny error but the video isn’t displayed.
Any suggestion?
