MMM-RTSPStream not showing video
-
So, I am at my wits end with this, and am fairly certain that I am losing more hair than I should over this issue. So I have the module installed, all dependencies installed and I have tried a lot of different config settings to get this to work.
My current config section looks like this:
{ module: 'MMM-RTSPStream', position: 'middle_center', config: { autoStart: true, rotateStreams: false, showSnapWhenPaused: false, // moduleWidth: 354, // moduleHeight: 242, localPlayer: 'omxplayer', stream1: { name: 'Cam1', url: 'rtsp://admin:*******@192.168.1.242', snapshotUrl: '', snapshotRefresh: 10, // Seconds frameRate: "30", port: 9999, } } },With this setup I get a white box with no video.
Here are my logs from pm2:

I also know the stream works because I can copy/paste that into VLC and it plays just fine.
Suggestions? Recommendations?
Thank you in advance
edit: double checked the stream in VLC and the codec is h264 - mpeg-4 avc (part 10) (h264). Not sure if this matters or not.

Hi,
it is has been some time since I used MMM-RTSPStream, but you can try following and provide some more info.
$ which omxplayer $ vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2omxplayer only logs when asked for (–genlog).
Try running omxplayer from the command line first:
$ cd $ rm -f omxplayer.log $ omxplayer --genlog --win "0 0 800 480" rtsp://admin:*******@192.168.1.242 or: $ omxplayer --genlog --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win "0 0 800 480" rtsp://admin:*******@192.168.1.242 $ ls -als omxplayer.log $ sudo find . -name omxplayer.logAnd it appears you have a few mistakes / omitted parameters in your config.js:
moduleWidth: 590, moduleHeight: 332, ffmpegPort: 9999, width: 590, height: 332,port: 9999,is not a valid parameter.Furthermore, your URL seems a bit basic, but that probably depends on the camera.
For example, for my Axis camera I need this:rtsp://user:password@192.168.178.56/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=640x360 -
I suspect you’re not addressing the video correctly.

@bkeyport Actually found a workaround using iframe and a HLS stream from blue iris. Have a new issue now that I am trying to figure out.
