[MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras

[Cr4z33]

@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.

[Cr4z33]

@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]

@shbatm here you go. ;)

[Cr4z33]

@shbatm you there mate? :hushed_face:

[shbatm]

@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.

[Cr4z33]

@shbatm alright mate thanks for letting me know and sorry if I was insisting, but I thought you didn’t see my previous reply. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

Gonna try to revert now.

Update
I can confirm that reverting back to that version gets rid of the issue. :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

[shbatm]

@Cr4z33 No problem, sometimes I need a little prompting…

Glad the revert works. I’ll troubleshoot more when I’m back.
