      Perhaps you can share the config.js part for MMM-RTSPStream with us?
      The pm2 log output for this module is useful too.
      The part where it shows the applied coordinates.

      Thank you for your response, could you tell me the file I need to post to you?
      {
      module: “MMM-RTSPStream”,
      position: “top_center”,
      config: {
      rotateStreamTimeout: 20, // Seconds
      stream1: {
      name: “Portail”,
      url: “rtsp://MDP@192.168.1.16/MediaInput/h264”
      },
      stream2: {
      name: “Dome”,
      url: “rtsp://MDP@192.168.1.17/12”
      },
      }
      },

        Hi, bonjour, to be honest I do not see the problem right away. With truncated you mean you expect to see more? Of the top stream or the bottom stream, or both? What resolution(s) do you expect to see?

        I suppose you followed the instructions from this repository:
        https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-RTSPStream
        Including the “To use this module, use the configuration builder tool included.” part to produce a recommended config for your stream(s).

        I think your config defaults to the vlc player. Could you please do:

        ps -eaf | grep -v grep | egrep 'omxplayer|vlc'
        

        If you (re)start MagicMirror (or mm), then you will find some MMM-RTSPStream module related info.

        pm2 logs --lines 200
        

        It will start with something like this:

        Starting stream stream1 with args:
        

        I personally use omxplayer, but standalone, without using MMM-RTSPStream. Since it is an overlay anyway, I feel I can control it more.

        Good luck gathering the information.

        MagicMirror version: 2.30.0

          here is what i found. before it worked well, I think the best is to delete the plugin properly but I do not know how?

            Okay, this looks like a bit more than a “truncated stream” issue.
            That you see something at all is a miracle, I would say :-)

            First of all, please use the </> button when providing output or pieces of config.
            Select the text and press on the </> button.
            Makes it a bit easier to read.

            You can disable the module by putting ‘disabled: true’ in the config.js.
            With the value false you can enable it again later.

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

            Or remove the whole module entry, but this is not necessary when there are no syntax errors.

            Then restart mm.
            I always use

            pm2 restart mm
            

            provided mm is the pm2 app name.
            See

            pm2 status
            

            To remove the module completely you can simply remove or disable it from the config.js and then delete the structure

            rm -rf ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream
            

            Or move it out of the way when you want to attempt a second try:
            mv ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream.old

              OK, it’s appearing more and more like the author of this module is MIA, and the module isn’t working well enough anymore to get a consistent stream (ffmpeg is the only thing that works at all in my installs, and even that will crash and burn every 3-6 hours, or get corrupted) - is there anything out there to replace this module?

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

                I redid an installation of the module but it is the same, the display is partial. Do you have another module to advise me? Thank you

                  Depends on what you want to stream and with what you want to stream it with.
                  I, for example, am streaming a single Axis IP cam (supposing it is h.264) using omxplayer. Standalone, controlled by pm2.
                  The MMM-RTSPStream does work, but I was having problems placing the stream on the screen to my likings.
                  You may need to check this list if there is a module that suites your needs:

                    So you got rid of the errors in the pm2 log?

                    pm2 flush
                    pm2 restart mm
                    pm2 logs --lines 200
                    

                    Do you see an entry like this?

                    Starting stream stream1 with args:
                    

                    If yes, what are the arguments?

                    Using vlc or omxplayer?

                    ps -eaf | grep -v grep | egrep 'omxplayer|vlc'
                    

                    Still difficult to determine what you mean by partial.
                    I think it is looking good.
                    Perhaps you want to get rid of the white frame?

                    vi ~/MagicMirror/css/custom.css
                    

                    Add:

                    .MMM-RTSPStream .innerWrapper {
                      border-style: none;
                      //border: 1px solid red;
                    }

                      Merci de votre aide,
                      J’ai mis quelques post plus avant le resultat du log pm2.
                      Pareil pour l’affichage on vois sur les copies ecran qu’il manque une partie de l’image sur la droite.
                      C’est VLC qui est utilisé mais j’ai mis omx et c’est pareil.

                        Dear, I need help!

                        I am experiencing the following error while trying to start module configuration. When adding the line in config.js:

                        {
                                            module: 'MMM-RTSPStream',
                                            position: 'middle_center',
                                            config: {
                                                initialSetup: true
                                           }
                                        },
                        

                        I have the following error
