      @BKeyport and @evroom this is my environment:

      • PC Hp Intel I5.

      • Raspbian on Virtual Box (using Debian…).

      First I try to make everything work on the virtual machine and then I transfer everything to PI.

      Many thanks.

        @egnos you might never get OMX working in a virtual environment. It works directly with the hardware to show the picture.

        I would highly recommend setting it up on the pi now, and setting up SSH to communicate.

        I also have SAMBA (https://www.juanmtech.com/samba-file-sharing-raspberry-pi/) running on my pi, so I can use Geany for Windows (https://www.geany.org/) to directly edit the raspberry files.

          Has anyone been able to get this working with Axis camera products? VLC will pull and display the video stream outside of MM but will not display the same stream on MM when configured.

          Any thoughts???

            Yes, I have.

            Please show your MMM-RTSPStream part from config.js.

              @Hram2008 have you tried running the URL straight with OMX to see if it works, if it does, you may have issues with the plugin itself, and as the author seems to have disappeared, you could just replace the plugin with OMX cutting the proper hole out of the window (It’ll go in front of whatever is running, so you run it independently, and it just works.

              omxplayer --no-osd --no-keys --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --fps 30 --orientation 0 --win "640 0 1280 360" [URL]

-or- 

omxplayer --no-osd --no-keys --avdict rtsp_transport:udp --live --fps 30 --orientation 0 --win "640 0 1280 360" [URL]

                Hello everybody!
                I’m trying to set up the module by doing some tests.

                I am using this configuration, using the test stream recommended by the developer “rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov”:

                {
		   module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
		   //position: "middle_center",
		   pages: {Security: "middle_center"},
		   header: "Test",
		   config: {
				autoStart: true,
				rotateStreams: false,
				rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
				moduleWidth: 354,
				moduleHeight: 240,
				localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
				remotePlayer: 'none',
				showSnapWhenPaused: false,
				remoteSnaps: false,
				stream1: {
					name: 'BigBuckBunny',
					url: 'rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov',
					frameRate: 'undefined',
					width: undefined,
					height: undefined,
						},
					}
		},

                The module starts but I don’t see anything.
                Below is a screen shot of the MM:

                2020-04-02-144902-1920x1080-scrot

                Where am I wrong?

                Thank you all.

                  @Egnos - Have you checked to make sure there is something at that URL? I punched it into VLC and got connection failed.

                    @bhepler thanks for the answer.
                    I thought it was just my problem.
                    I found the link on the gitHub page.
                    The developer recommends using this link for testing and I thought it worked.

                    Do you know any public links to test the module?

                    Regards.

                        Many thanks @evroom, the link works in VLC but still doesn’t work in MM.

                        Below what I see on the terminal:

                        Are there any errors in config.js?

                        		{
		   module: "MMM-RTSPStream",

                          Hi,

                          What does this say ?

                          pm2 logs --lines 100

                          The part where you should see

                          pm2 status

                          should show

                          And can you try it from the command line ?

                            Hi @evroom ,

                            @evroom said in [MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras:

                            What does this say ?

                            I never posted this …!

                            I launched the command on the terminal you recommended but I still don’t see anything, here is the result:

                            pi@MagicMirror:~ $ omxplayer --genlog --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win "0 0 354 240" rtsp://wowzaec2demo.streamlock.net/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov

                            And this the log “omxplayer.log”:
                            omxplayer.log

                            I paste all the info that the MM prints on the terminal:

                              It does look good.

                              In principle, the line from the pm2 log

                              [19:45:46.329] [LOG]    Starting stream stream1 using: omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --win 786,238,1138,480 --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --no-osd rtsp://wowzaec2demo.streamlock.net/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov

                              should work as standalone.
                              If it does not play standalone, so from the command line, then it will not work in MMM-RTSPStream.

                              I would disable the module and make sure nothing is running anymore (no omxplayer stuff).

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

                              pm2 restart mm
pm2 status

                              Make sure ‘omx_stream1’ is not present.
                              Stop it when necessary

                              pm2 stop omx_stream1
pm2 delete omx_stream1

ps -eaf | grep -v grep | grep omxplayer

                              Kill any omxplayer process (kill -9 ).

                              Then run omxplayer from command line:

                              omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --win 786,238,1138,480 --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --no-osd rtsp://wowzaec2demo.streamlock.net/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov

                                  @evroom many thanks!
                                  I don’t know why but now I’m viewing the video in MM.
                                  I haven’t touched anything!

                                    @evroom I finally understood what the problem is … that is VNC.
                                    I use VNC to connect with the Raspberry PI and for some reason, using the VNC interface, the player is not displayed!
                                    If instead I turn on the monitor where the Raspberry PI is physically connected I magically see the streaming … whether I run the command from the terminal or with the MM.

                                    Can you explain this behavior?

                                      @Egnos said in [MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras:

                                      Can you explain this behavior?

                                      No, I cannot explain this, but I noticed it too.
                                      No video over the VNC connection.

                                      When I google, I see this recommendation:

                                      Open VNC Server>Options>Troubleshooting. Then make sure "enable experimental direct capture mode is checked.

                                      You might give it a try.

                                          @evroom now, enabling in VNC options “direct capture mode”, also from VNC I see the stream on omxplayer and on MM.

                                          Many Thanks! 👍

                                            I’m going from a working Raspi3 to a Raspi4 and using the exact same working module configuration I cannot get video on omxplayer using this module.

                                            I set up a pristine image and loaded everything one at a time, but this one fails. I pulled out all of the modules to make sure there was nothing in them that was causing the issue.

                                            Below is my module config and my logs pulled using pm2 logs mm. There is an error, but I don’t know enough about this to determine the cause. Can anyone review the logs and provide some direction?

                                            Thanks.
