[MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras

@evroom Thanks! I haven’t been able to get OMXplayer to work, only VLC. However, if I can’t get the auto-restart to work with VLC, I’ll see if I can’t get OMXplayer to work.

@dwburger I was having a ton of trouble streaming anything on my Pi 4. if you’re on a Pi 4, make sure to install the May 2020 update. Streaming is rock solid now.

I will note, I’m also using OMX Player independently from MM - the last releases of RTSPStream broke everything, and I couldn’t bother to get things working again. I wrote a little module I kept private because it’s not configurable to cut the desired space out of the MM workspace.

@BKeyport that link is for PI OS… does it apply to raspian buster?
-
@BKeyport Yes, I’m using an RPi4. Thanks for the link for updating!
-
@sdetweil If you read it, They’re renaming the OS.
-
@BKeyport yes, I knew they were renaming… but also that s mostly applied tot he 64 bit version.
whatever, commands in progress on my 4 -
@sdetweil I read it as “Going forward” - meaning all releases after the date of announcement. But, as it’s still debian based under the hood, the commands would be the same (Or apt-get instead)
-
You know, it figures… I say it’s stable, and it’s back to pre-PI 4 tricks. It’ll run for about two days before crashing, but that’s a lot better than pre-may2020 Buster - which was 5 minutes at the most.
-
@BKeyport wow… my pi4 has been booted solid for weeks… (last manual update boot)
-
Updating didn’t solve the problem. Just wondering…I’ve seen recent references to using OMXplayer independent of MM2. Does this mean that the OMXplayer window is on top of the MM2 screen or somehow incorporated into it. Could someone give me a little push into understanding this?
