      Version 1.2.1 (Updated 15 Oct 2017) Now Available on ‘master’ branch

      • Now uses hardware-accelerated OMXPlayer as default player for local video
      • Resolved latency issues
      • Uses PM2 to control stream playback – automatically restarts streams when they close
      • Fullscreen, custom window and offset options now available.
      • Important - please update your configurations after updating this module. as some settings have changed. This new version includes a new configuration tool for building your configuration section.

      Fresh Install:

      See the installation instructions on the README.

      To switch back from the ‘wip’ branch:

      (Only necessary if you want to, the ‘wip’ and ‘master’ are the same currently, but I will update the ‘wip’ with new features and bug-fixes first for testing. If you want to beta test, stay on ‘wip’)

      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RSTPStream
      git checkout master
      git pull
      npm install
      http-server -p 9999
      # From a web browser, navigate to http://mirror-ip:9999/config.html
      # Once your config is made, press Ctrl+C to exit the config builder
      # Restart your mirror and test!

        Nice work man.
        One small question: white box is not in line with the video window.
        I added this line in the config

        //      autoStart: true,
        	rotateStreams: false,   //changed true to false		           
                rotateStreamTimeout: 10,    // seconds
        	moduleWidth: 354,
        	moduleHeight: 240,
        moduleOffset: { top: 20, left: -20 },		
                localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
                remotePlayer: 'none',
                showSnapWhenPaused: true,
                remoteSnaps: true,
        

        but this doesn’t change anything, position of video window isn’t moved.
        how can I change the position?

          @Johans I just tried this on my mirror and was able to get the video feed to move without a problem. Did you try restarting the mirror & video feed after you made the change? You can also try making larger changes to make sure it’s actually moving : moduleOffset: { left -200, top: 200} or try just moduleOffset: 50 to make sure it works.

          An alternative is to watch the console log for the parameters used:

          Starting stream stream1 with args: [
              "--avdict",
              "rtsp_transport:tcp",
              "--win",
              "731, 439, 1259, 799",  # --- this is the position it tries to draw the video
              ...
          

          And then add the following inside the stream1: { section to specify the exact position you want the video to show using the numbers from the log and your desired offset:

          absPosition: { top: XX, right: XX, bottom: XX, left: XX },

            i updated the module from work, but did not start the server thing to get the server config page.
            Later at home i could not start the server anymore to reach the config page.
            Is that mandatory?

            The stream runs good, without any changes in the config. Hopefully it does not crash so often anymore.
            I saw that it launches now another pm2 session just for the stream. thats nice.
            So i can restart both sessions (stream and mirror) with a script and do not need to reboot the whole pi anymore, when i change something.

              Made some larger changes and saw the video moves. Now it’s perfect within the box.
              I’ve noticed that when video is out of the box window, the omxplayer is not stopped or killed. Video still remains visible even MM has stopped.
              At moment the video was perfect within the box, it also kills perfect the video stream.
              Just wanted to let you know this.
              thanks for the support.
              J.

                @shbatm At first, thx for your great work. I finally tried to update the module but after npm installI get an Error message like this.

                I tried to update and a Fresh install but at both ways I get the same Error.

                  @Niggich It appears it is installing correctly and the post-install is not working, please try to run the following commands and see which one fails:

                  # Change directory
                  cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream 
                  # Install the "Graceful Shutdown" patch on MM core (Issue #1056)
                  ./install_sd_patch.sh
                  # Install the Node.js http-server module
                  sudo npm i -g http-server

                    This sounds like there is still a glitch in the starting of the stream. I will investigate on my end too. Are you using any other modules that hide or show this one? Scheduler, Carousel, or ProfileSwitcher?

                      The config page is not mandatory, it just helps create a valid config file and helps you eliminate settings you don’t need to mess with. If you had a working version before on the wip branch, nothing significant has changed. If you used ffmpeg or the main branch before, you must update the port setting to ffmpegPort.

                      You should also still be able to get to the config page after install:

                      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream
                      # Make sure http-server is installed:
                      sudo npm i -g http-server
                      # Start the server:
                      http-server -p 9999
                      # Navigate in browser to:
                      http://magic-mirror-ip:9999/config.html
