      @Hram2008 said in [MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras:

      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’,
              frameRate: ‘undefined’,
              snapshotType: ‘url’,
              snapshotRefresh: 10,
              width: undefined,
              height: undefined,
              },
              stream2: {
              name: ‘Front Door’,
              url: ‘rtsp://admin:secret@10.99.98.37:554//Streaming/Channels/2’,
              frameRate: ‘undefined’,
              snapshotType: ‘url’,
              snapshotRefresh: 10,
              width: undefined,
              height: undefined,
              },
              }
              },

                Sometimes with this app you gotta jiggle the handle.

                The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

                  This may be a bit weird, but I’m trying to install this on a non-RaspberryPi piece of hardware running Ubuntu 20. Is there a manual installation process that doesn’t require OMXPlayer?I realize that it will limit my options to VLC, but I’m willing to try. I’m getting caught up on it trying to install a player that isn’t available on Ubuntu.

                  I tried installing OMXPlayer through the Snap store, but because the hardware is AMD64, it’s not available.

                    Hi everyone,
                    I believe that the MMM - RTSPStream module is incompatible with the MMM-Pages multi page module!
                    By removing MMM-Pages, the RTSPStream module works again.
                    The link for the video stream works correctly both with VLC and with the “omxplayer” command.

                    The version of MM I am using is the latest available 2.14.0.

                    The error I find in the console is the following:

                    MMM-RTSPStream.js:164 MMM-RTSPStream has resumed... rotateStreams: true, autoStart: true
                    MMM-RTSPStream.js:368 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getBoundingClientRect' of null
                        at Class.playStream (MMM-RTSPStream.js:368)
                        at Class.rotateStream (MMM-RTSPStream.js:123)
                        at Class.setupStreamRotation (MMM-RTSPStream.js:94)
                        at Class.resumed (MMM-RTSPStream.js:168)
                        at newCallback (MMM-RTSPStream.js:186)
                        at main.js:324
                    

                    Here is my configuration:

                    {
                    		   module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
                    		   position: "bottom_right",
                    		   header: "Test",
                    		   config: {
                    			    //initialSetup: true,
                    				autoStart: true,
                    				rotateStreams: true,
                    				rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
                    				moduleWidth: 354,
                    				moduleHeight: 240,
                    				localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
                    				remotePlayer: 'none',
                    				showSnapWhenPaused: false,
                    				remoteSnaps: false,
                    				
                    				stream1: {
                    					name: 'Ingresso',
                    					url: 'rtsp://xxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx.x.xxx:554/stream1',
                    					frameRate: 'undefined',
                    					//width: undefined,
                    					//height: undefined,
                    						},
                    				}
                    		},
                    

                    In the “bottom_right” region what I see:
                    alt text

                    Have any of you noticed this incompatibility?

                    Any advice / help is welcome.
                    Thanks.

                        @BKeyport thanks.
                        Do you know any other module that can show the stream of surveillance cameras?
