    @mwoodage The stream didn’t work in VLC player either (e.g. VLC by itself, nothing to do with MagicMirror)? Have you tried on your regular computer? Not playing in VLC may be signs of a bigger problem–unfortunately I can’t troubleshoot every camera out there… if you can get it working in VLC on the Pi, I can help try and get it working in the module.

    Also FYI to you and @evroom, I am working on an update to the module to use VLC to play the videos instead of OMXPlayer – see details here: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/2743/mmm-rtspstream-video-streaming-from-live-feeds-security-cameras/163

      @mwoodage - Not to worry, we’ll get you sorted out.

      For starters, you are missing the script omx_stream1. pm2 has nothing to run so it can’t monitor the process. Or at least, that script isn’t located in /home/pi/

        Hi everyone, thanks for your help so far.
        Yesterday i wiped my RP clean and started a fresh install - however I still can’t get the camera stream to show up in the VLC player.
        Is it because the camera is 5MP and therefore there’s too much data for the VLC player to process?
        The same stream works on my laptop?

        Thanks
        Martin

          That may be the case. Most cameras offer a second, lower-resolution stream that you could use for something like the mirror.
