      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.

          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?

            When using the module or not, omxplayer always will be an overlay on top of your MM display.

            Test if it works at all (example for an Axis IP camera):

            $ omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win "0 625 590 957" rtsp://user:password@192.168.178.56/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=640x360
            

            With log:

            $ omxplayer --genlog --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win "0 0 640 360" rtsp://user:password@192.168.178.56/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=640x360
            

            The positioning of the stream can be a bit of a pain.
            Size of video stream:
            (x2 - x1) x (y2 - y1) = 640 x 360

            To use it under control of pm2 (iso of vi you also can use nano):

            $ cd /home/pi
            $ vi axis.sh
            #!/bin/bash
            echo "Starting Axis stream ..."
            
            # No rotation
            omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win "0 625 590 957" rtsp://user:password@192.168.178.56/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=640x360
            
            $ pm2 start axis.sh
            $ pm2 save
            

            To see it run:

            $pm2 status
            

            To restart it:

            $ pm2 restart axis
            

            To stop it:

            $ pm2 stop axis
            

            To remove it from pm2:

            $ pm2 delete axis

              I’m just getting the “have a nice day” error. What would the most basic omxplayer command be? I just want to see the Wyze rtsp stream anywhere on the RPi 4 screen. I’ve tried: omxplayer rtsp://:@IP address and I get the “have a nice day” error.

                Can you see if the omxplayer.log gives a clue?
                And what would your VLC url look like?

                It can be that your cam or codec is not supported.

                  @dwburger Try this:

                  https://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=Wyzecam

                  get a URL from them, then use that URL directly in OMXPlayer…

                  omxplayer [URL]

                  No other options, YET.

                  once you get that going, you can position and set FPS, etc.

                    @evroom I ran the following command via SSH to a headless RPi 4. I stopped MM2 via PM2 so the RPi4 GUI desktop is all I see.

                    omxplayer -g rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.1.20/live

                    The omxplayer.log file looks like this:

                      I see I made an error with the rtsp URL. Here’s the correct one for my Wyze cam masking the username and password:

                      rtsp://d____:b____@192.168.1.117/live

                        @dwburger It took several seconds, but entering the correct rtsp URL got my camera’s video stream onto the RPi4 screen (full-screen). I’ll follow it a while to see how stable it is.
