Can you please fix this?
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/
). -
@shbatm here you go. ;)

@shbatm you there mate? :hushed_face:

@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.
-
@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: -
@Cr4z33 No problem, sometimes I need a little prompting…
Glad the revert works. I’ll troubleshoot more when I’m back.
-
@shbatm cheers. :heart:
-
I’d support trying VLC over OMXPlayer - OMXPlayer barely works - and crashes so much, I had to switch to FFMpeg(?) – and even that crashes on my Pi 3+

@shbatm @Cr4z33 Hello guys and let me first wish you happy holidays and say thank you to @shbatm for this module.
I too am using MMM-RTSPStream to stream my TV tuner to the mirror (the streaming is done from a media server running VLC in my network where the TV tuner is installed). Here is whats happening in my case :Everything is working “fine” per say meaning:
If i go on my Rpi that my MM is installed and on the terminal i type
omxplayer rtsp://192.168.1.254:8554/vlc
I can see my TV programming playing just fine with minimal resources used on the pi …however when i try to watch it on MM after launching it, it does not work it just displays a gray quadrant!!
If i go on the MM config.js and i change the url on MMM-RTSPStream module from the above to one of my cameras who have a username and password than MagicMirror displays them as expected and beautifully on the assigned page.
So both my MM config of the RTSPStream module and my actual stream work …separately however, but not together!!!
Does MMM-RTSPStream has to have a username and password for it to work???
What do you think is happening in my case??
Any help is always greatly appreciated
Denis

Found it myself what it was causing it …it needed “udp” protocol on MM config.js for MMM_RTSPStream …why, i have no clue but i figured that parameter would be the only one that may make a difference and it worked :)
