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

[djuscha]

Hello
I have two same hikvision cameras with the same settings so my config looks like.

{
    module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
    position: "bottom_bar",
    config: {
        autoStart: true,
        rotateStreams: false,
        rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
        moduleWidth: 1152,
        moduleHeight: 400,
        localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
        remotePlayer: 'none',
        showSnapWhenPaused: false,
        remoteSnaps: true,
		moduleOffset:{ top: 32, left: 32 },
        stream1: {
            name: '1',
            url: 'rtsp://******:********@192.***.178.160/Streaming/Channels/102',
            frameRate: 'undefined',
            snapshotUrl: 'rtsp://******:*******@192.***.178.160/Streaming/Channels/2/picture',
            snapshotType: 'url',
            snapshotRefresh: 10,
            width: 480,
            height: 300,
            },
        stream2: {
            name: '2',
            url: 'rtsp://****:*******@192.***.178.170/Streaming/Channels/102',
            frameRate: 'undefined',
            snapshotUrl: 'rtsp://****:*******@192.***.178.170/Streaming/Channels/2/picture',
            snapshotType: 'url',
            snapshotRefresh: 10,
            width: 480,
            height: 300,
            },
       
        }

},

The Problem is that one camara is showing a Picture and the second once does not Show any Picture on the screen.
What am I doing wrong?

@djuscha If you switch the order, does the opposite one show up? You may need to change the CPU/GPU memory split in your Pi – sudo raspi-config find the “Memory Split” option and increase from 64 to 128.

[djuscha]

When I switch the order I see the picture from the other camera.
with change from the “Memory Split” I see no Change :(

[shbatm]

@djuscha Try 256, and make sure you restart the Pi after each adjustment.

Also, please check the MM logs and post if you see any errors. You should be seeing two calls to start omxplayer. You can also do pm2 status to make sure both streams are running.

Next thing I am trying to use MMM-RTSPStream for, is streaming sat-tv from a Dreambox & VU+ receivers.
I am able to stream a channel using:
omxplayer --vol -3000 --win “0 0 480 320” --live http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:

@evroom
Maybe my new module is something for you:
MMM-Dreambox

@axled woah gonna try it now! :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

@axled
Interesting. Will give it a try.

what am I doing wrong?

[barnosch]

i have the same problem like @djuscha
The second stream does not show up.
Can it be a layering issue? Maybe its underneath the other one and just needs to moved down via a
or something?
As soon as i turn autorotate=on i can see both streams , but the delay between the switch is useless. I see 10 sec the stream1 than for 10 sec black and then for 10sec the other stream2.
(if i watch the pm2 status while in rotate mode, it stops the whole stream, thats why it takes forever to load, i guess. shutdowndelay option seems not to change something)

I would like to see them in parallel if possible.
Any idea or suggestion?
