Omxplayer and Bullseye

[Egnos]

@BKeyport so would you go on a Stretch?

[sdetweil]

@Egnos latest node/npm don’t work on stretch, and thus electron

Windows?! 🤣

[sdetweil]

@Egnos most of the GPIO stuff doesn’t work on windows…

[Egnos]

@sdetweil in fact mine was a joke!

So which OS does the least damage?

@Egnos
I am currently using the latest Buster with 5 different rtsp cameras ( i use carousel) and I have no problems viewing them.
Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release: 10
Codename: buster
Just my 2 cents. Unless someone much smarter than me can fix Omxplayer in Bullseye. I have resigned myself to stay on Buster until I can’t anymore…

Use sdetweil’s backupRestore module it makes it pretty easy to reinstall it all into a working order and it saves your config.js and custom.css very important in my case I do not want to ever go through all the hours spent trial and error testing to get my mirror the way I wanted it…

@plainbroke buster is the Legacy image

Thanks @plainbroke for the advise and thanks @sdetweil for creating the script.

I will install on a new MicroSD Buster and test the operation.

Do you use a module in particular to view the stream of the cameras or do you launch omxplayer outside the MM?

Thanks
