      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.

          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.

              @Egnos Don’t have a clue myself, and this module is no longer supported. :(

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

                  @Egnos as I wrote already some pages ago there’s MMM-FreeboxTV.

                  Similar this module, but most of all it works.

                    @Cr4z33 many thanks.
                    If I understand correctly the stream is started only if I ask the Google assistant to launch it, correct?

                      …maybe I can use this “onStart” parameter to launch the stream that interests me at startup without asking the assistant.

                      With this parameter it would also be possible to launch multiple streams at startup?

                      Many thanks.

                        It’s up to you.

                        Either have it streaming 24/7 or upon command. :)
