      The installation of the “Graceful Shutdown” fails.

      OK. It’s not required to get the streams to work, but is required to shutdown the streams if you exit/stop MM. This will be included automatically in the next MagicMirror release.

      If you’re comfortable making the changes manually, you can find them here f646360 – otherwise don’t worry about it for now, you’ll just have to stop the streams by hand if you exit MM (they will restart automatically if you restart MM).

          Hi everyone, do you know how I would do this? I have a 8 channel Annke DVR analogue cameras not IP, I can view them via a web browser but a plugin is needed to be installed before I can view them.

            You just need to find out if you can access an RTSP stream for the cameras through the DVR. Not sure which exact model you have but:

            First, check here: https://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=Annke

            Second, I found this after a Quick google search:
            According to this thread here, you can access an RTSP stream for each of the cameras using the following:

            rtsp://[username]:[password]@[ip]:[port]/[codec]/[channel]/[subtype]/av_stream
            username such as admin
            password such as 12345
            ip: device IP, such as 192.0.0.64
            port: 554
            codec: h264, MPEG-4 or mpeg4
            channel: channel number, such as channel one is ch1
            subtype: type of steam. main stream is main and substeam is sub

            For example:
            main stream of channel 1
            rtsp://admin:12345@192.0.0.64:554/h264/ch1/main/av_stream

            substream of channel 1
            rtsp://admin:12345@192.0.0.64:554/h264/ch1/sub/av_stream

              Since i updated to the actual RTSPStream version i have a new issue.
              The whole mirror crashes for some reason (black screen) and only the stream is still showing.
              This is not on a regular basis, after some hours it happens.
              Rebooting and everything is fine again.

              I have not updated yet to the new MM version (because of all the issue threads in the forum)

              Any idea?

                Is there anything that shows up in the server or console log? Can you run the mirror using npm start dev to monitor the electron console for logs and let me know what the error is?

                I had already upgraded my mirror to the new version, there may be a dependency or change that is effecting it that I missed.

                  Sorry to hijack this thread.
                  Are there any log’s created to investigate why a video feed will not display in the MM.
                  omxplayer will stream the feed fine from the command line, using
                  sudo omxplayer -o hdmi rtsp://0.0.0.0:554/onvif1

                  Any advice gratefully received…

                  Thanks.

                    udp protocol needed for my doorbell rtsp feed!
                    Just needed to add the protocol: “udp”,
                    instead of typical tcp.
                    Feed appeared after a few seconds!
                    At last!

                      Hi,
                      thanks for this great module.
                      One question.
                      I am using a bird cam with another rpi
                      This “live stream” directly coming from the birds housing is available under the IP
                      “http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”
                      Unfortunately i am was not able so far, to “show” this live stream on my magic mirror.
                      The link that i used in the config file for this module was:
                      “rstp://http://…”
                      “http://…”
                      “rstp://…”

                      The Bird Cam uses “RPI CAM Control V6.2.31”

                      Can anybody help?
                      Thanks a lot

                        @Vauxdvihl – when you open the stream in your browser, do you need any special plugins to view it?

                        Without digging too deep, it looks like this is a MJPEG stream, which can be viewed without any special software in the browser. For these kind of streams it’s easiest to just use the MMM-iframe module to show the stream.

                        If you don’t want to show the controls the page generates, you can find the link directly to the camera image by viewing the source of the camera stream page.
