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

[costascontis]

i am using the develop branch of the module with vlc and latest MM.The feed is playing alright but it seems it is over MM and when i click over another module the feed dissapears going under.How can i solve that?

@costascontis - There may be a switch in VLC player that tells it to stay on top. I’d start looking at switches there.

this is my configuration:
{
module: “MMM-RTSPStream”,
position: “middle_center”,
header: “cam”,
config: {
autoStart: true,
rotateStreams: true,
rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
moduleWidth: 354,
moduleHeight: 240,
localPlayer: ‘omxplayer’,
remotePlayer: ‘none’,
showSnapWhenPaused: true,
remoteSnaps: true,
stream1: {
name: ‘c1’,
url: ‘rtsp://admin:a1234567@192.168.1.14/Streaming/Channels/1’,
frameRate: ‘undefined’,
hdUrl: ‘rtsp://admin:a1234567@192.168.1.14/Streaming/Channels/1’,
snapshotType: ‘url’,
snapshotRefresh: 10,
width: 354,
height: 240,
},
}
}

no response ,was it the problem of resolution，and how to configure that ,I tried many ways and still not success, and I can use my vlc to get the stream of the camera ,but was anything wrong with other configuration,no idea!

Try using VLC instead.

Replace
localPlayer: ‘omxplayer’
with
localPlayer: ‘vlc’

However you will have to use the developer branch of this module.

See here for instructions on how to install it:

I didn’t test 4K streaming, but it should be OK up to 1080p.

Hey Guys,

any Solution to install the Modul at Ubuntu without Omxplayer? The option with vlc sounds good…

Believe it or not, I found that OMX is by far the most stable of setups in my use case. Odd, I know.

I do restart my Mirror daily, however.

Are you using a script to auto restart and could you share?

[Cr4z33]

@goprojojo I guess he just scheduled the reboot command into cron (Google for it). ;)

@goprojojo

Cron.

#      m       h        dom    mon     dow     command
       15      2        *      *       *       sudo reboot

Why 2:15 you might ask? 2 AM daily my camera reboots and usually corrupts the display - takes about 10 minutes for it to restart where it don’t, and 5 more minutes to make sure it’s clear of it’s reboot and upgrade routines.

I recommend https://crontab.guru/ to help you build cron tasks.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to use moduleOffset from within a single stream (stream3)? I couldn’t get it to work.

I have three streams going. The first two are side-by-side, but the third is centered under them. I would like the third to be left-justified. Any ideas?
