MMM-RTSPStream no longer working
-
Hi All
Since the update to version 4 of RTSPStream, I can no longer get my IP Camera to show on the screen. I have attempted a reinstall, and checked the settings. Just the outline of the module, with the heading, but no image. The best I have had was a still image in the centre of the screen which vanished shortly after.
AFAIK my camera has had no firmware or software updates.
Does the hive mid have any suggestions?
Many thanks

@dangerousden have you tried MMM-Mplayer?

@sdetweil I apologise for the delay in replying. Not been well. I was trying to get some sort of webRTC feed from my HomeAssistant, but failed miserably. I will give the MPlayer plug in a try when I get home.
Thanks for the suggestion

@dangerousden never apologize for what goes on in your life. NOTHING here is more important than that
I will try to help as your time allows…

Thank you. that is very much appreciated
I managed to get the RTSPStream working again, by simply rebooting the camera. This is a guy who has worked 40 years in IT and I didn’t follow the golden rule. Switch it off and on again :D
However, the image is now showing right bang in the middle of the screen, ignoring any of the config, and blocking the Background slideshow. I tried the MPlayer plugin but it refuses to connect and show anything. So I returned back to RTSPStream, tried updating ffmpeg, and changing the stream to that - nothing. So - best I can get is a rather annoying image where it should not be, or a blank box.
Am I missing something simple??
{
module: “MMM-RTSPStream”,
position: “bottom_left”,
config: {
autoStart: true,
rotateStreams: false,
moduleWidth: 354,
moduleHeight: 240,

remotePlayer: ‘ffmpeg’,

},
}

@dangerousden well that’s some good news. Amazing how many times we have to get used to rebooting something these days
I’m in the 50 year IT range from mainframes to microprocessors and everything in between.
Sadly I know nothing about RTSP other than other people also having trouble with the latest os releases.

Maybe one of them will be along shortly. But the forum gets quieter as the weather warms.
