      I have RTSP enabled on my Wyze camera, but nothing displays with this module. The URL it provides is in the format:
      rtsp://USER:PASSWORD@ADDRESS/live

      I noticed that it doesn’t provide the actual file extension such as .mov so I’m wondering if that’s preventing this from working for me.

        Can you try this ?

        $ omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win "0 0 480 320" rtsp://USER:PASSWORD@ADDRESS/live
        

        To see if it works standalone.

        I forgot if a license is needed for the camera stream, but to know if a license is present:

        $ vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2
        

        MagicMirror version: 2.30.0
        Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5 (8 GB RAM)
        Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

        Test environment:
        MagicMirror version: v2.30.0
        Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3 (1 GB RAM)
        Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

          Started at page 17 and running on the latest develop branch and trying to use omxplayer. Open GL fake is running with 128. Using VLC on a windows PC I’m able to get the RTSP stream working.

          In VLC I chose network stream use the URL
          rtsp://admin:******@192.168.200.4:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
          I do have select ‘Active Transcoding’ and use Video -H.264 + MP3 (MP4)

          When I run it on MagicMirror I get this:
          0_1557872101244_IMG_0481.jpg

          It’s an Amcrest Camera. I’m able to test using the “Big Buck Bunny” and that works great.

            Update: This issue appears specific to my Amcrest Camera. I’m able to stream my Arecont Camera.

            On that not my Arecont Camera has 4 lenses. How could have to RTSP stream windows side by side? Each showing one lense with no border?

              Im trying to use the VLC player on the “develop” branch code. Im running into issues with VLC. If I set my localplayer to omxplayer then everything works fine. If I change it to “vlc” I dont not get a picture. Is there something else I need to change for it to work? Thanks!

                disregard. didnt realize I needed to reload the node modules. seems to have fixed the issue.

                    Hey guys I’m running into trouble getting my Reolink cameras to show. I can open the stream in vlc player but just get an outlined box on my magicmirror. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? It’s probably something simple. Here’s my code minus the username and password of course :)

                    {
                        module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
                        position: "middle_center",
                        header: "Front",
                            config: {
                            autoStart: true,
                            rotateStreams: false,
                            rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
                            moduleWidth: 354,
                            moduleHeight: 240,
                            localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
                            remotePlayer: 'none',
                            showSnapWhenPaused: true,
                            remoteSnaps: true,
                            stream1: {
                                name: 'Backdoor',
                                url: 'rtsp://user:pass@192.168.1.42:554//h264Preview_01_main',
                                frameRate: '10',
                                snapshotType: 'url',
                                snapshotRefresh: 10,
                                width: undefined,
                                height: undefined,
                                },
                            }
                    },

                      Check your IP string here: https://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=Reolink mine uses h264Preview_01_sub for instance.

                      I do use ffmpeg for the picture as it seems to work better for my system - I have an RLC-410.

                      		module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
                      		position: "top_center",
                      		config: {
                      			autoStart: true,
                      			rotateStreams: false,
                      			moduleWidth: 640,
                      			moduleHeight: 360,
                      			localPlayer: 'ffmpeg',
                      			remotePlayer: 'ffmpeg',
                      			showSnapWhenPaused: false,
                      			remoteSnaps: false,
                      			omxRestart: 2,
                      			stream1: {
                      				name: 'Front Camera',
                      				url: 'rtsp://user:pass@FrontCam/h264Preview_01_sub', 
                      				protocal: "ucp",
                      				width: 640,
                      				height: 360, 
                      				ffmpegPort: 9999,
                      				shutdownDelay: 0,
                      			},
                      		}
                      	},
                      

                      Oh, and if you want to get rid of the white box (I find it distracting) in your custom.css file:

                      .MMM-RTSPStream .innerWrapper {
                      border: 0;
                      }

                      The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

                        Thanks for the link. Mine is the RLC-420 and says h264Preview_01_main. I even tried just using your code and replacing with my credentials but all I can get is a gray box. Strange thing is I can open main or sub in vlc just fine. I thought this was going to be an easy project haha
