[MMM-RTSPStream] Cannot get vlc to work
-
I’ve never gotten VLC to work properly.
Matter of fact, I’ve stopped using RTSPStream in favor of a custom module to open up a hole the screen for the camera, and manually running OMXPlayer so I can control it better because rotation never quite worked right.
-
I moved from a RPI 4 to an Intel NUC and I actually got MMM-RTSPStream (almost) working.
The issue is that it does completely ignore my window size & position settings.
If it is a 1080i/1080p it gets displayed almost at 100% of screen while if it is at 576p it gets displayed on top left occupying 1/4 of the screen…
I am in desperate need to fix this module because it basically was the reason to build my smart mirror…

This is how to run OMX on top of the mirror, it’s super easy - around that post is all sorts of tricks on how to do it.
My use is on my rotated screen, in the upper right corner, 415 x 750 Window (The coordinates will always be landscape)
omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --orientation 90 --win "1500 320 1915 1070" rtsp://user:pass@frontcam/h264Preview_01_sub -
@BKeyport we cannot use omxplayer on hardwares (Intel NUC in my case) other than Raspberry. ;)

For your information MMM-FreeboxTV (with some little edits) does everything MMM-RTSPStream did with the difference that it keeps being developed and it works fine with VLC! 😁

lol, If my module can help :)
At start, it’s for french user for wathing TV … now it’s for every one simply editing or create your own stream file ;)
It’s works ONLY with VLC
