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,

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?

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

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?

@evroom
I am a newbie with Magic Mirror and Raspberry world so I would really appreciate if you could provide me a step-by-step instruction.
I have the same challenge like yours: Although I set my stream video window to “bottom_right”, it appears to be in the between of “bottom_center” and “bottom_right”. In another word, it is completely located at the weirdest position: a little bit above the “bottom_center”, too much “left” from the “bottom_right” of the screen, etc…

I follow your post to change the parameter of “moduleOffset” value but as you already stated, the moduleOffset did not work. The stream video window is still way off from where I want it to be. I am not familiar with the “.css” yet so if you are so kind, please point me to how I can make change to it?

So, if possible, could you please kindly provide me a step-by-step instruction on how to align the stream windows with the “bottom_right” where it lines-up with the “current_weather” module (top-right)

Thank you
