MMM-RTSPStream dosent work in my case

[barnosch]

did you put some spaces between the URL for better reading in the forum, or could this be the issue?

url: "rtsp: //10.0.0.60: 554 / h264 /? ch = 1 & subtype = 1 & authbasic = admin: 123456"

Should be look like this imho

url: "rtsp://10.0.0.60:554/h264/?ch=1&subtype=1&authbasic=admin:123456"

Have you tried to stream the teststream from the example?
Just to see if everything is set up correctly from module side.

hi barnosch,
the string is just that inserted in the forum has taken this look.
The string in the configuration is right.
One test I did not do is the one you have proposed.
after I put the video file on my desktop I changed the form string with:

{
module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
position: "slide1mods_bottom_left",
header: "Video Surveillance",
config: {
autoStart: true,
rotateStreams: true,
rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
moduleWidth: 3,
moduleHeight: 240,
localPlayer: "omxplayer",
remotePlayer: "ffmpeg",
showSnapWhenPaused: true,
remoteSnaps: true,
stream1: {
name: 'Cam1',
// url: "rtsp://10.0.0.60:554/h264/?ch=1&subtype=1&authbasic=admin:123456"
url: '/home/pi/Desktop/test.h264',
frameRate: '15',
protocol: 'tcp',
hdUrl: 'none',
snapshotType: 'url',
snapshotRefresh: 10,
width: undefined,
height: undefined,
ffmpegPort: 9999,
},
}
},

But you see nothing.
Performing the console test file with:

omxplayer /home/pi/Desktop/test.h264

I see the movie !!
I do not know what else to try !!

[barnosch]

have you installed the dependencies from the module?
“npm install” within the MMM-RTSP folder

Could it maybe be a issue with your custom made CSS “postition”?
Maybe you should try a ordinary original one for testing

[alverman]

Hi barnosch,
I ran npm install in the module MMM-RTSPStram folder.
I had already tried the normal MagicMirror css and went the same way.
On pi3 I have two versions of MagicMirror installed.
An original and one with all the modules I need.
To try one or the other version, rename the Home/pi/MagicMirror folder and test it

Thanks for your attenction, Alberto

Good morning,
I made a small step but I have not been able to solve it yet.
Until now I have tried console to display rtsp stream from my dvr without result.
Just putting the line -n -1 (no audio) succeeded, from the command line, to display the flow.
Then in the configuration file (config.js) or the MMM-RTSTStream module you should enter the parsing -n -1 !!
But how do I do it?

Thank you, Alberto

[alverman]

Another problem, always in console, is that if the stream tends to lower itself, the omxplayer closes

[alverman]

So I think I’ve solved the problem of why the console flow is interrupted!
from console I have to give this command:

omxplayer -g -n -1 --timeout 0 --avdict rtsp_transport: tcp "rtsp://10.0.0.60:554/h264/?ch=1&subtype=1& authbasic = admin:123456"

So now how can I add the switches:

-g -1 --timeout 0 --avdict rtsp_transport: tcp 

in config.js?

Any help please?

Thank you, Alberto

Sorry if I keep on this monologue but I’m going crazy !!
I’ve tried MagicMirror with only the standard modules and the MMM-RSPSream module.
Created the code to enter in config.js
Enter the code in config.js
Starting npm start I see the frame of rtsp stream but I do not see anything.
If I hit the frame I see the play icon if I get it I see the pause icon as if the stream was played but I see nothing.

I’m really tired of this thing.
I know it might go but it does not go and I just miss this form to close the project.

Really give me a hand please

Thank you, Alberto

Here is my working config.

 {
                module: 'MMM-RTSPStream',
                position: 'bottom_left',
                config: {
                        autoStart: true,
                        rotateStreams: false,
                        rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
                        showSnapWhenPaused: false,
                        moduleWidth: 352,
                        moduleHeight: 240,
                        moduleOffset: -20,
                        localPlayer: 'omxplayer',  //omxplayer oder ffmpeg
                stream1: {
                        name: 'Door',
                        url: 'rtsp://10.30.10.28', //update with your IP
                        snapshotUrl: '',
                        snapshotRefresh: 10, // Seconds
                        frameRate: "30",
                        port: 9999,
                         }
                        }
                },

i would suggest, you only change the IP adress, without port or the authbasic stuff…
I also have password set, but for some reason, i do not need to pass it to the module.
I played around a little bit, but as soon as i change the port or something… it does not work anymore.
Maybe worth a try.
Otherwise, bring the developer in here… he is very helpful and has for sure another tips you can try.
