      @Hram2008 Honestly, if it’s gonna work, you’ve got a good config. I don’t think “port” is valid (you’d put it on the URI)

      Other than that…

      Did you check the URI through https://www.ispyconnect.com/sources.aspx ?

      iSpy is a great resource to get accurate URIs.

        I’ve got a good one, just playing with RTPStream module… my MM is on a second monitor, and the box is shown on the MM screen, but the ffmpeg video is displayed in the same position on the 1st screen… oops…

              I used Ispy to generate the URL… when tested in the VLC player it works. Just wont show on the MM screen. I only get Loading RTSP Stream displayed or a black box.

                Please see below.

                Hi,

                I would first disable the module (disabled: true,) and restart MM.
                Check if there are no omx_streams running (pm2 status).
                Stop them when present (pm2 stop omx_stream1 / pm2 delete omx_stream1).

                Then verify if omxplayer works standalone (use your own user & password & IP address).
                If it does not work standalone, then there is no need to continue trying the module.

                $ omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --win 85,65,725,425 --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --no-osd rtsp://user:password@192.168.178.55/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=640x360
                

                If that works you can try this verified config (use your own user & password & IP address):

                $ vi ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js
                
                  {
                    module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
                    //disabled: false,
                    disabled: true,
                    position: "middle_center",
                    header: "Axis Security Monitor",
                    config: {
                      autoStart: true,
                      rotateStreams: false,
                      moduleWidth: 640,
                      moduleHeight: 360,
                      localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
                      remotePlayer: 'none',
                      showSnapWhenPaused: false,
                      remoteSnaps: false,
                      stream1: {
                        name: 'Axis_P1448_LE',
                        url: 'rtsp://user:password@192.168.178.55/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=640x360',
                        frameRate: "30",
                        protocol: "tcp",
                        width: 640,
                        height: 360,
                        omxRestart: 1,
                        hwAccel: true,
                      }
                    }
                  },
                

                This works for Axis P1448-LE, M2026-LE Mk II and M1125-E.

                Good luck.

                    @evroom thanks for this, I am trying to get my vivotek cameras working,

                    omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --win 85,65,725,425 --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --no-osd rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.###/live1s3.sdp

                    This works great, and I see the feed perfect in the OMX player,

                    However, my config in the plugin doesn’t. I just get a black box. Any ideas would be appreciated.

                    		module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
                    			//disabled: false,
                    			//disabled: true,
                    			position: "top_right",
                    			header: "Cameras",
                    			config: {
                    				autoStart: true,
                    				rotateStreams: false,
                    				moduleWidth: 640,
                    				moduleHeight: 480,
                    				localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
                    				remotePlayer: 'none',
                    				showSnapWhenPaused: false,
                    				remoteSnaps: false,
                    				stream1: {
                    					name: 'Driveway',
                    					url: 'rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.###/live1s3.sdp',
                    					frameRate: "30",
                    					protocol: "tcp",
                    					width: 640,
                    					height: 480,
                    					omxRestart: 1,
                    					hwAccel: true,
                    					}
                        		}
                    		},

                      Can you check following ?

                      Process omx_stream1 present:

                      $ pm2 status
                      
                      $ ps -eaf | grep -v grep | grep omxplayer
                      

                      Entries in pm2 log:

                      $ pm2 logs --lines 100
                      

                      Might need to flush the logs and restart MM in order to show new RTSPStream log entries:

                      $ pm2 flush
                      $ pm2 restart MagicMirror
                      
                      $ pm2 logs --lines 100
                      

                      omxplayer version:

                      $ omxplayer -version
                      

                      MMM-RTSPStream git status

                      $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream
                      $ git status
                      

                      I am on the develop branch, you might need o switch to that too.

                      $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream
                      $ git checkout develop
                      $ npm install

                        TLDR, I switched from VLC to omxplayer and my previously working config started working again

                        I’m using hikvision cameras,
                        I was having a similar issue, migrating from an working configuration on an old PI3 to a new fresh image on PI4,
                        fresh Magic Mirror/ and MMM-RTSPStream install, copied original config over but both VLC windows black.

                        You can click pause on each window, (then shows correct window name) but when you resume it’s just black windows. I confirmed running VLC standalone, using the open network URL, pasted same URL in config and it worked fine. (Like I mentioned running on an older PI no problems)

                        Anyway, I changed player to omxplayer in the config and it worked immediately, not sure why VLC in MM not working…

                        my config:

                        {
                        module: “MMM-RTSPStream”,
                        position: “top_left”,
                        config: {
                        autoStart: true,
                        rotateStreams: false,
                        rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
                        moduleWidth: 354,
                        moduleHeight: 240,
                        localPlayer: ‘omxplayer’,
                        remotePlayer: ‘none’,
                        showSnapWhenPaused: true,
                        remoteSnaps: false,
                        shutdownDelay: 12,
                        stream1: {
                        name: ‘Driveway’,
                        url: ‘rtsp://admin:secret@10.99.98.101:554//Streaming/Channels/2’,

                        stream2: {
                        name: ‘Front Door’,

                        snapshotType: ‘url’,
                        snapshotRefresh: 10,
                        width: undefined,
                        height: undefined,
                        },
                        }
                        },
