      @epi My fault: for command line you have to fix the window command line argument:
      ... --win 800,421,1120,661 ... or ... --win '800 421 1120 661' ... and I think put the URL in quotes.

      You can test it without that whole argument (should play full screen). This is what I meant in #2 above. Here’s some combos to try:

      # Option 1 -- Should be full screen (if it works):
      omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 "rtsp://192.168.2.237:554/user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&channel=1&stream=0.sdp"
      # Option 2:
      omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 "rtsp://192.168.2.237:554/user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&channel=1&stream=0"
      # Option 3 Sub-stream:
      omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 "rtsp://192.168.2.237:554/user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&channel=1&stream=1.sdp"
      # Option 4 UDP:
      omxplayer --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 "rtsp://192.168.2.237:554/user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&channel=1&stream=0.sdp"

        I did a fresh install of RPI OS & MM all addons

        Option one: freeze, then after a wait console available again

        pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream $ omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 "rtsp://192.168.2.237:554/user=USER&password=PASS&channel=1&stream=0.sdp"
        Video codec omx-h264 width 1280 height 960 profile 77 fps 30.000000
        Audio codec pcm_alaw channels 1 samplerate 8000 bitspersample 8
        Subtitle count: 0, state: off, index: 1, delay: 0
        V:PortSettingsChanged: 1280x960@30.00 interlace:0 deinterlace:0 anaglyph:0 par:1.00 display:0 layer:0 alpha:255 aspectMode:0
        have a nice day ;)
        

        Option two: many lines

        COMXVideo::Decode timeout
        

        Option three: same as first one, freeze then

        Video codec omx-h264 width 704 height 576 profile 77 fps 30.000000
        Audio codec pcm_alaw channels 1 samplerate 8000 bitspersample 8

        Option four:

        pi@raspberrypi:~ $ omxplayer --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 "rtsp://192.168.2.2                                                                                                                                                             37:554/user=USER&password=PASS&channel=1&stream=0.sdp"

          Hi @shbatm I am playing with your module to see TV programs from a Vu+ Duo² (a DVB-S2+DVB-T Linux/Enigma2 decoder).

          The only thing I can’t succed is to see HD TV programs.
          I’ve tried to use both

          url
          

          and

          hdUrl
          

          , but those streams won’t start (while normal SD programs are working just fine).

          This is my current script by the way (the HD channel has been disabled in the meantime):

          {
          		    module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
          		    position: "bottom_right",
          		    // header: "Sky TG24",
          		        config: {
          		        autoStart: true,
          		        rotateStreams: false,
          		        rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
          		        moduleWidth: 390,
          		        moduleHeight: 219,
          		        localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
          		        remotePlayer: 'none',
          		        showSnapWhenPaused: false,
          		        remoteSnaps: false,
          		        stream1: {
          		            // name: 'Sky TG24',
          		            // url: 'http://192.168.1.6:8001/1:0:1:5:7918:217C:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
          		            name: 'RAI 3 TGR Puglia',
          		            url: 'http://192.168.1.6:8001/1:0:1:D4B:8800:13E:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
          		            // name: 'RAI 3 HD',
          		            // hdUrl: 'http://192.168.1.6:8001/1:0:1:2191:5:13E:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
          		            protocol: "tcp",
          		            frameRate: 'undefined',
          		            width: 390,
          		            height: 219,
          		            }
          		        }
          		},

            Hi,

            Can you check this ?

            $ vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2
            

            It should say “MPG2=enabled”.

            License can be bought for a few euro’s:

            http://www.raspberrypi.com/mpeg-2-license-key/

            MagicMirror version: 2.30.0
            Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5 (8 GB RAM)
            Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

            Test environment:
            MagicMirror version: v2.30.0
            Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3 (1 GB RAM)

              It is enabled as I followed your advice. ;)

              As I said normal SD TV programs work just fine.
              The problem is with High Definition programs.

                RAI 3 HD probably is not free-to-air, so I cannot check it.

                But to be honest, it seems NOT to work for me too.
                Only SD, no HD.
                I had it working on v2.4.1 (made notes about it to not to forget) and did not use it after that.

                You can test it directly, without having to change the MM config all the time:

                $ omxplayer --win "0 0 800 480" --live "http://192.168.1.6:8001/1:0:1:D4B:8800:13E:EEEE0000:0:0:0:"
                
                $ omxplayer --win "0 0 800 480" --live "http://192.168.1.6:8001/1:0:1:2191:5:13E:EEEE0000:0:0:0:"
                

                omxplayer will show the stream details:

                Video codec omx-mpeg2 width 720 height 576 profile 4 fps 25.000000
                Video codec omx-h264 width 1920 height 1080 profile 100 fps 50.000000
                

                On my Pi it seems to run, but nothing appears on the screen.
                :-(

                  @evroom I am in the same boat (with my Raspberry Pi 3 b+).

                  However I am 100% sure my Pi can handle HD channel streams as they work perfectly if using VLC!

                    I can stream full HD at 50 fps:

                    Video codec omx-h264 width 1920 height 1080 profile 100 fps 50.000000

                    A bit odd.

                      @evroom oops it came out I have to wait at least 30-40 seconds before I can see (succesfully) a 1080i @ 60Fps HD stream. :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

                      However yesterday I found one more issue…
                      I connected the RPI for the first time to the TV to see how MagicMirror was looking on it, but I found out that the stream stops as soon as I ask something to Google Assistant (MMM-AssistantMk2 + MMM-Hotword by @Sean ) and it replies.
                      After that the stream doesn’t resume at all.

                      I don’t know where to start and cannot see why this is going on as the RPI can easily play 2+ media files at a time. :confounded_face:

                        As I do not use MMM-AssistantMk2 and/or MMM-Hotword, I cannot help you there.
                        In principle the streaming should continue.
                        As a matter of fact, when I stop MM, my cam streams still continue (are listed by pm2 as independent applications).
                        As soon as there will be a MMM-HotAssistant, I might give it a try :-)
