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

@anthony6608 The last error was my fault… it’s an issue with linking the PM2 module. I put a sudo where I didn’t need one, that’s been updated on Github.

I’m sorry it’s been frustrating–trust me, I (and I’m sure several other’s on here) know the feeling. I was going to say that I thought it was the module getting moved around by the other modules when they load that was causing the issues, but not if it’s happening with only this module loaded. It should be resizing itself to fit. I sent you a chat with an e-mail address–if you can, send me a short video or picture of what you’re seeing and I’ll see if I can diagnose.

Also–for the forums, when pasting logs, configs, or any other chunk of code, use three back-ticks (`) on their own line at the start and finish to make it pretty (you can add “shell” or “javascript” for syntax highlighting.

   ```javascript
   Your code here
   ```                   -

@shbatm thanks for the reply, and no worries about the permission issue. I’m no longer getting the error so I hope I fixed it the correct way.

I actually just opened an issue if you could take a look. I added some pictures there as well with a breakdown of everything I’ve noticed just to help make things easier and for anyone looking in the future to find it all in once place. Let me know if you’re able to view the pictures? For some reason they are not loading when I reload the page. Also thanks for the tip, I’ll be sure to use the back-ticks in the future!

@shbatm I am trying to get this module working with MMM-AssistantMk2 from @Sean so that I can switch TV channel streams (Dreambox) by voice command.
The issue is that instead of switching from a stream to another ALL of them start playing at the same time! :man_facepalming_medium_skin_tone: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

So far I’ve tried setting in the MMM-RTSPStream module both rotateStreams: false and rotateStreams: true, but it still happens.
I’ve also tried setting autoStart: false, but as soon as I give the voice command the nightmare starts on! :face_with_tears_of_joy:

This is my MMM-RTSPStream config:

			module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
			position: "bottom_right",
			disabled: false,
			config: {
				autoStart: false,
				rotateStreams: false,
				rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
				moduleWidth: 440,
				moduleHeight: 247,
				moduleOffset: {
						left: -330,
						top: -180
						},
				localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
				remotePlayer: 'none',
				showSnapWhenPaused: false,
				remoteSnaps: false,
				stream1: {
						name: 'Sky TG24',
						url: 'http://***/1:0:1:5:7918:217C:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440,
						height: 247
		            		},
				stream2: {
						name: 'RAI 3 TGR Puglia',
						url: 'http://***/1:0:1:D4B:8800:13E:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440,
						height: 247
		            		},
				stream3: {						
						name: 'RAI 3 HD',
						url: 'http://***/1:0:1:2191:5:13E:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440,
						height: 247
		            		},
				stream4: {
						name: 'Deejay TV HD',
						url: 'http://***/1:0:1:29:7918:217C:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440,
						height: 247
		            		},
				stream5: {
						name: 'Radio Deejay',
						url: 'http://***/1:0:2:9:204:1D:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440,
						height: 247
		            		},
				stream6: {
						name: 'Radio Capital',
						url: 'http://***/1:0:2:A:204:1D:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440,
						height: 247
		            		},
				stream7: {
						name: 'Radio 105',
						url: 'http://***/1:0:2:1FA7:32A:110:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440,
						height: 247
		            		}
		        	}
		},

And this is the section of MMM-AssistantMk2 where I set the voice commands.
They match both your instructions and @Sean 's ones:

					transcriptionHook: {
								"CHANNEL_1": {
										pattern: "Sky TG24",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_1"
										},
								"CHANNEL_2": {
										pattern: "Puglia",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_2"
										},
								"CHANNEL_3": {
										pattern: "Rai3",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_3"
										},
								"CHANNEL_4": {
										pattern: "Deejay TV",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_4"
										},
								"CHANNEL_5": {
										pattern: "Radio Deejay",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_5"
										},
								"CHANNEL_6": {
										pattern: "Radio Capital",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_6"
										},
								"CHANNEL_7": {
										pattern: "Radio cento cinque",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_7"
										},
								"PROFILE1": {
										pattern: "Famiglia",
										command: "CHANGE_PROFILE_1"
										},
								"PROFILE2": {
										pattern: "Mio",
										command: "CHANGE_PROFILE_2"
										}
								},
					command: {
							"CHANGE_CHANNEL_1": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
													payload: "stream1"
													}
									},
							"CHANGE_CHANNEL_2": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
													payload: "stream2"
													}
									},
							"CHANGE_CHANNEL_3": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
													payload: "stream3"
													}
									},
							"CHANGE_CHANNEL_4": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
													payload: "stream4"
													}
									},
							"CHANGE_CHANNEL_5": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
													payload: "stream5"
													}
									},
							"CHANGE_CHANNEL_6": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
													payload: "stream6"
													}
									},
							"CHANGE_CHANNEL_7": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
													payload: "stream7"
													}
									},

the two streams work great again now, after pulling the older version.
Great. Thank you very much.
Also your new VLC based module sounds great.
But i guess, you maybe should create a whole new module for it?

The plan right now was to just leave it as another option for the localPlayer. OMXPlayer will still be an option for now as well. I don’t know if I’ll have time to split it out completely, but that would be much cleaner.

@cr4z33

You’ll want the following settings which should give you 1 blank video box that does not show anything until you press play.

autoStart: false,
rotateStreams: true,
rotateStreamTimeout: 0,
localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
remotePlayer: 'none',
showSnapWhenPaused: false,
remoteSnaps: false,

I’m assuming you’re seeing the same glitch that is plaguing the last OMXPlayer version of this module. I’m working on it today to try and find what I broke. In the meantime, try reverting back and seeing if that fixes the issue. I just tested the following notification on the VLC version and it worked as expected, so it’s got to be something with omxplayer.

{
notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
payload: "stream3"
}

Cr4z33 · Jan 4, 2019, 4:08 PM

@shbatm although I am not a developer I agree with you.
Whenever I tried something different from normal module usage involving omxplayer it always ended up with a mess lol! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Going to try what you are suggesting here.

Can’t wait to see the VLC implementation (it just works as intended). :smiling_face_with_heart-eyes:

Cr4z33 · Jan 4, 2019, 4:39 PM

@shbatm nope the simultaneous streams have now dropped from 7 to 2, but still not what I want (aka a single stream). :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

Gonna try the develop branch and see how it is doing right now.

shbatm · Jan 4, 2019, 4:53 PM

@cr4z33 Still looking into it, but I just thought of something… it doesn’t look like you’re calling RTSP-STOP on the old stream anywhere when changing channels so right now it’s going to keep starting streams every time–there’s no “1 at a time” method when controlling it from notifications… yet.
