      With omxplayer stream switching is almost OK if it wasn’t that it doesn’t select the wanted stream.

      I can’t replicate this issue. Directly sending notifications: of the form notification: "RTSP-PLAY", payload: "streamX" works as expected and switches to the correct stream when using autoStart: false, rotateStreams: true, rotateStreamTimeout: 0.

      How many streams do you have again? Is it less than 10?

      @cr4z33 said in [MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras:

      With vlc it’s a mess as multiple streams ALWAYS start at the same time after a voice command.

      I think this is related to the fact that VLC doesn’t close the streams automatically when switching, it puts the window in the background until it times out, then it closes. Try adding a shutdownDelay: 0 to your module config to make the VLC stream close immediately on hiding. Same thing with omxplayer though, switching appears to work as expected on my end.

      Please also make sure you have the latest version of PM2: sudo npm install -g pm2

          This looks like the same error I got when I tried to use omxplayer with the OpenGL driver enabled in raspi-config. You’ll have to use the legacy driver if you want to use omxplayer on the most recent version of Raspbian.

          EDIT 10-Jan-19: Use the latest develop branch version. omxplayer requires the --no-osd flag to work properly with the OpenGL (Fake KMS) driver.

            @shbatm I can confirm that I followed the whole instructions properly and I am using notification: "RTSP-PLAY", payload: "streamX" indeed for my 7 different streams (so yes less than 10).

            All I can say is that it is NOT working as intended. :winking_face:

            Anyway I always forgot to post the (latest version) PM2 log so here it is if you can find anything helpful?
            I wish I could do more, but again I am not skilled enough sorry… :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

              @cr4z33 @evroom the last things I can suggest to try:

              1. @Cr4z33 Make sure you have autoStart: false in your config. @evroom yours should be true.
              2. Update the module one more time:
              cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream
              git fetch --al && git pull
              rm -R node_modules/
              npm install
              
              1. Nuke and update your pm2:
              pm2 kill
              rm ~/.pm2/dump.pm2
              sudo npm i -g pm2
              
              1. Restart the MM script (you’ll have to redo pm2 save BEFORE you run any streams if you want the MM to start on boot).

                  Performed all steps.
                  No change: no stream is started (nothing in the pm2 logs).

                  Then deleted the MMM-RTSPStream module completely.
                  Rebooted.
                  Installed the module again.
                  No change: no stream is started (nothing in the pm2 logs).

                  Then performed all steps to get in the develop branch.
                  No change: no stream is started (nothing in the pm2 logs).

                  I ended up disabling the module and running a script under pm2 control.

                  Pity, it worked just fine till I started to test the changes.
                  The ‘pm2 delete omx_stream1’ was the final blow, but should not be the reason for a stream not to appear again.

                  Perhaps a complete re-install of MM is necessary, but that is too much work for now.
                  Should I be forced to do so in the future, I will give MMM-RTSPStream a try again.

                    @cr4z33 Can you please post (or send in chats) your current config. I’m curious if we’re missing something obvious.

                    @evroom I’m sorry you can’t get it working again. I’m at a loss as to why it’s not starting the streams properly. Everything in your config you sent looks like it should be working from the module’s end. The only thing I can think of is something else is interfering and preventing the module from starting. (Would show up as a “MMM-RTSPStream is suspended…” in the DevTools (web browser) console logs.

                      @evroom I’m sorry but I haven’t read too far back in the posts but have you tried disabling your other modules to determine if there’s a conflict somewhere?

                      The reason I ask is because shbatm helped me recently with everything setup correctly but stream not displaying. One of the issues turned out to be the GoogleMapsTraffic module. Just wanted to mention that just in case. Good luck!
