cant stream 1 HikVision cam

tv25666

i tried my best to follow the instructions for MMM-RTSPStream.
believe it or not, it was working for 10 seconds while i was setting up the Pi. when i restarted, the video feed no longer works. all i see is a white outline of where the video should be.

here is my module config: https://i.imgur.com/jGMbmwc.jpg
intially, the thought the camera crashed but it is still working fine as seen here: https://i.imgur.com/sLH9Yhj.jpg

and here is my port settings for the camera: https://i.imgur.com/ssbt5Vg.jpg

check the port settings in your config.js file, I think it’s usually set to 8080

what’s in the log?
do you have MMM-PIR-Sensor running in parallel?
I experience crashing of MMM-RTSPStream as described here: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/7260/mmm-pir-sensor-interferes-with-mmm-rtspstream

@binderth i am happy to say i can view the camera now AND got the PIR working thanks to your link https://github.com/cowboysdude/Pir-Sensor/blob/master/monitor_on.sh

BUT when motion is detected, monitor turns on only with the camera stream. nothing else is displayed. no calendar, no weather, no time. just camera stream.
any idea why? i spent 3 hours and still clueless. thanks!
