      the link works in VLC but still doesn’t work in MM

      Hi,

      What does this say ?

      pm2 logs --lines 100
      

      The part where you should see

      0|MagicMirror  | Starting stream stream1 with args: [
      

      And

      pm2 status
      

      should show

      omx_stream1
      

      And can you try it from the command line ?

      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

        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

            Are there any errors in config.js?

            This is my config that works.
            I think the only real difference is the omxRestart entry.

            {
              module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
              disabled: false,
              position: "bottom_right",
              header: "MMM-RTSPStream Test",
              config: {
                autoStart: true,
                omxRestart: 1,
                rotateStreams: false,
                moduleWidth: "352px", // Width in px of the module.
                moduleHeight: "240px", // Height in px of the module.
                localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
                remotePlayer: 'none',
                showSnapWhenPaused: false,
                remoteSnaps: false,
                stream1: {
                  name: 'BigBuckBunny',
                  url: 'rtsp://wowzaec2demo.streamlock.net/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov',
                  frameRate: "25",

                }

              @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?

                  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.
