      I think I have the same issue as you:
      0_1562531719799_RTSP_play_button.png
      It would be the best option, if it would work. :-)

      As a workaround for my IP cam issue, I use omxplayer as a separate process.
      It is an overlay on top of your screen anyway.

      For you, it is first priority to get your stream using omxplayer working, outside of MM
      So disable the module and restart MM.

      module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
          disabled: true,
          :
          :
      

      Then we take it from there.

      Can you confirm that your stream is MPEG-4 (vlc player media information) ?

        yes, that would be great having the module just working :-)

        Picture looks same as on mine…

        Module is disabled.

        Just checked again in VLC.
        Codec: MPEG-1/2 Video (mpgv)

          Can you confirm that this works ?

          $ /usr/bin/omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win '351 968 703 1210' rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov
          

          I have to say that the error message using your stream looks rather ugly

          WARNING: Failed to acquire D-Bus name ‘org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.omxplayer’
          

          I do not know what is does.
          The help says:

          --dbus_name name.     Set D-Bus bus name (default: org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.omxplayer)

            displays the Bunny video and audio in the lower part of the screen. Video is half visible but i believe this is not important for the moment.

              Hi, last posts for today.

              I found 2 parameters to test.

              Can you do

              $ /usr/bin/omxplayer --info --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win '351 968 703 1210' rtsp://192.168.178.1:554/?avm=1&freq=394&bw=8&msys=dvbc&mtype=256qam&sr=6900&specinv=0&pids=0,16,17,18,20,266,593,594,595,598,1801,1802,1803
              

              and send the output ?

              And

              $ /usr/bin/omxplayer --genlog --hw --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win '351 968 703 1210' rtsp://192.168.178.1:554/?avm=1&freq=394&bw=8&msys=dvbc&mtype=256qam&sr=6900&specinv=0&pids=0,16,17,18,20,266,593,594,595,598,1801,1802,1803
              

              and send the omxplayer.log ?

                  2 more commands.
                  Just to be sure of a few things.

                  The --hw option did change the log output and the D-bus errors are gone.

                  $ /usr/bin/omxplayer --version
                  

                  I get:

                      Looks like you are doomed to watch Buck Bunny for the rest of your Magic Mirror life :-)

                      You did not get an error with — hw in your previous mail.
                      It did return with the prompt, right ?
                      You did not have to stop it using control C, I mean to say?
                      Normally omxplayer exits with: have a nice day ; )

                      Can you try

                      /usr/bin/omxplayer --genlog --hw --win '351 968 703 1210' rtsp://192.168.178.1:554/?avm=1&freq=394&bw=8&msys=dvbc&mtype=256qam&sr=6900&specinv=0&pids=0,16,17,18,20,266,593,594,595,598,1801,1802,1803
                      

                      And check the log file.
