@jerryp a little farther up the log says what module was not found, probably request

in the module folder, do

npm install request

JerryP

But the mirror is running. on a PI3B and now I’m out off RAM so lets order a 4B8GB hihihi

sdetweil

@jerryp so there was an error and the module didn’t handle it.

swvalenti

pm2 start omx_stream1

sdetweil

@swvalenti then

pm2 save

so it will restart on next boot

swvalenti

@sdetweil my guess is the omx stream was not started by pm2 after the update

JerryP

@swvalenti
No the module was not booting totally. after i make the npm install request. the module is starting only the fault stil is in the log every time I reboot the mirror.

sdetweil

@jerryp this module needs another process to be running IN ADDITION to MM…

JerryP

@sdetweil ok. But what’s the solution? off is there no solution for this problem?

sdetweil

@jerryp u were advised to start the other process manually
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15753/mmm-rtspstream-broke-after-update-2-17-1/8?_=1634583021814

JerryP

@sdetweil Why… the module is running fine after I did what you told me to do. Only the error in the log is there now. but the module is running fine. What will by the use of starting the stream Manuel…

@jerryp said in MMM-RTSPStream broke after update 2.17.1:

Only the error in the log is there now

ok, you didn’t say it was working

what error in the log?

did u do pm2 flush to throw away the old messages?

JerryP

@sdetweil
O Yes it’s running only I’m using for testing a PI3B so this is running out of Ram memory.

I also did the flus and still is er a issue when it’s booting pm2 start MagicMirror.

@jerryp said in MMM-RTSPStream broke after update 2.17.1:

469

the code seems to be trying to connect to the pm2 task for omx stream

looking for the name

which appears to be in this area of the config

    stream1: {
            name: 'BigBuckBunny Test',   <--- I guess this needs to be the name of the pm2 process..

BKeyport

@sdetweil I seem to recall that’s how it worked.

Bottom line is that it’s breaking more and more, and should likely be put in the “yeah, it’s unsupported” pile of past modules.

FWIW, I use my MMM-Block module to slide modules out of the way, and just run the OMX stream directly for now. (Looking for a solution for H.265 streams)
