    @shbatm what if I want to use VLC instead of omxplayer?

    I am going to move to a different SBC called Rock Pi 4B and we know that omxplayer is for the Raspberry Pi family only.

    Would it be quite simple to edit the scripts or does it need a good programming knowledge? :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

    Right now I am using a VLC window in my VMware Debian 8.x based MagicMirror testing session, but it’s not really what I want… :confused_face:

      @citizendevpi I started looking at VLC as an alternative to OMXPlayer but didn’t make it very far (honestly, just not enough time).

      The most promising looked to be webchimera.js with VLC built for hardware acceleration, but the original repo for webchimera.js is marked abandoned. It looks like at least 1 fork is still active, but I didn’t get as far as testing anything.

      If you have the capability to pursue it, I’d love some help. From what I have looked at, it should be a close-to-drop-in replacement for the FFMPEG version of this Module, and if that works, I could eliminate all of the OMXPlayer references (read: headaches).

      References I’ve found:

        @shbatm unfortunately I am not skilled enough for that sorry. :slightly_frowning_face:

        Anyway it came out that VLC was not a good idea when using a Rockchip based SBC.
        Its VPU can be used only if using gst-launch-1.0 like ie.:

        gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=file:///usr/local/test.mp4  ! rkximagesink
        

        That way 4K streaming/playing looks good too.

          @shbatm I’ve encountered a new issue.

          While using a profile switching solution when I get to the profile that uses MMM-RTSPStream omxplayer displays the video at full screen! :face_screaming_in_fear:
          The major problem is that no keyboard or mouse control can be used until I switch to a different profile that is not using your module.

          Can you please fix this?

            That’s sounding more like the profile switcher’s issue - unless you’ve config’d this player to be full screen.

            The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

              @bkeyport nope I didn’t set omxplayer anywhere but in this module. ;)

              Also profile switching is only ‘telling’ modules to show or hide.
              Nothing else.

              It’s done by voice command through MMM-AssistankMk2:

                    "CHANGE_PROFILE_1": {
                      moduleExec: {
                        module:[],
                        exec: (module, params, key) => {
                          var modules = ["YOUR", "MODULES", "TO", "SHOW", "FOR", "PROFILE1"]
                          if (modules.indexOf(module.name) >= 0) {
                            module.show()
                          } else {
                            module.hide()
                          }
                        }
                      }
                    },
                    "CHANGE_PROFILE_2": {
                      moduleExec: {
                        module:[],
                        exec: (module, params, key) => {
                          var modules = ["YOUR", "MODULES", "TO", "SHOW", "FOR", "PROFILE2"]
                          if (modules.indexOf(module.name) >= 0) {
                            module.show()
                          } else {
                            module.hide()
                          }
                        }
                      }
                    },
                  },

                Please post your PM2 logs when this happens so I can try and troubleshoot. (Run pm2 logs in an SSH terminal, or post the excerpt from the files in ~/.pm2/logs/).

                      @cr4z33 Hey, sorry, I’m out of town and don’t have access to test anything related to this module (no easy access to cameras or a RPi) for the next few weeks.

                      There is definitely a glitch in the calls to stop and restart the streams, but I can’t test right now. You can try backing up to a previous version and see if it was the latest updates to cause the problem: try using git checkout f583553

                      I will take a look as soon as I can, and on a side note, there is now official support for VLC w/ Hardware Accelerated Decoding on Raspbian, I am planning to see if it would be better to abandon OMXPlayer in favor of VLC.
