[MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras
-
Hi,
Quite happy with MMM-RTSPStream so far; thx to those that contributed to it.
Next thing I am trying to use MMM-RTSPStream for, is streaming sat-tv from a Dreambox & VU+ receivers.
I am able to stream a channel using:omxplayer --vol -3000 --win “0 0 480 320” --live http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
It is not a rtsp stream, but it can use omxplayer for streaming.
When I try to use MMM-iFrame, I can add the URL, but then it tries to open a program that can play mpg (and MagicMirror won’t start).
When I use it to stream using my browser (on my PC), I have it open VLC player, but installing VLC on Raspberry (using HW acceleration) is quite an act, so I would prefer to use omxplayer.Could this be done ?
I am not so familiar with JavaScript and CCS (yet), more a Perl guy, but am willing to assist and test-drive.

Hi,
To come back to my own request.
The line that works from the command line is:
omxplayer --vol -3000 --win “0 0 480 320” --live http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
When I look at the code
https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-RTSPStream/blob/master/node_helper.jsI notice following:
–vol : not present, not really necessary, yet
–win : present
–live : present
–avdict rtsp_transport:tcp : present, needed ?
-–video_queue 4 : present, needed ?
–fps 30 : present, needed ?When home I will try:
$ omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --win “0 0 480 320” --live -–video_queue 4 --fps 30 http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
And I will try:
node_helper.js :
if (this.config[s.name].protocol == “http”) {
args.unshift(“–vol 3000”);
} -
Okay, it is actually quite simple.
It works without any modifications.stream1: { url: 'http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:2B66:3F3:1:C00000:0:0:0:', // ZDF HD //url: 'http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:', // ARD HD protocol: "tcp", width: 590, height: 332 } 2|mm | Starting stream stream1 with args: [ 2|mm | "--avdict", 2|mm | "rtsp_transport:tcp", 2|mm | "--win", 2|mm | "4, 608, 594, 940", 2|mm | "--live", 2|mm | "--video_queue", 2|mm | "4", 2|mm | "--fps", 2|mm | "30", 2|mm | "http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:2B66:3F3:1:C00000:0:0:0:" 2|mm | ] 2|mm | Starting PM2 for omx_stream1 2|mm | PM2 started for omx_stream1It is just that the Raspberry Pi 3 Model 3 and omxplayer only can handle 1 TS stream, as it appears to be the case.
Simular like the max. 3 RTSP camera streams.So, if you do not use omxplayer for something else and you want to use MMM-RTSPStream for streaming just the one TS channel, it can be used.

Hi @shbatm & others! After install (followed your guide here https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-RTSPStream), I see a black frame with a white border, without the stream. I tried both mine stream url and samples. My sample works great via VLC. Can you help me to find an issue?
{ module: 'MMM-RTSPStream', position: 'middle_center', config: { autoStart: true, moduleWidth: 354, moduleHeight: 240, localPlayer: 'omxplayer', stream1: { name: 'Test Stream', url: 'rtsp://192.168.2.237:554/user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&channel=1&stream=0.sdp', snapshotUrl: '', snapshotRefresh: 10, // Seconds frameRate: "30", port: 9999, } } },update, after a few commas in the config I managed to get test stream up&running, but not my webcam. Any solution available? :)

I assume issue is in my stream URL either localPlayer. Any suggestions?

Looking at the logs it looks like it’s trying to launch everything correctly. Just to confirm:
- The stream works correctly in VLC using the URL you have above.
- Since you’re using OMXPlayer – you are testing on the mirror with the RPi connected (not with VNC/Remote Desktop, etc). You won’t see playback from OMXPlayer on anything but the monitor connected to the RPi.
You can try:
- Make sure the stream works with OMXPlayer by testing with the command line (shut down Magic Mirror first):
omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --win 800, 421, 1120, 661 --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 rtsp://192.168.2.237:554/user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&channel=1&stream=0.sdp - Test the above with and without
.sdpat the end of the path. I noticed in your log above for some reason it didn’t pass the extension.sdp. I don’t know if this is the issue or not. You can also try without the--winargument to test it full screen. - Using
UDPinstead ofTCP, putprotocol: "udp"in your stream config (to test from command line, remove thertsp_transport:tcpargument. - Using
stream=1to test the lower resolution sub-stream. Sometimes OMXPlayer just refuses to do anything (without any errors) if it doesn’t have enough video memory–I’ve only seen it happen trying to play 3 streams at once though. - Try adding a
?at the end of the stream url. Just something I saw while googling your url format to find out what kind of camera you have.

- Yes, it does work in VLC.
- I control RPi via SSH & VNC, but it is connected via HDMI to monitor and I don’t see any output on the actual screen neither via VNC, nor actual screen.
Testing:
- By making tests I encounter an error:

@epi My fault: for command line you have to fix the window command line argument:
... --win 800,421,1120,661 ...or... --win '800 421 1120 661' ...and I think put the URL in quotes.You can test it without that whole argument (should play full screen). This is what I meant in #2 above. Here’s some combos to try:
# Option 1 -- Should be full screen (if it works): omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 "rtsp://192.168.2.237:554/user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&channel=1&stream=0.sdp" # Option 2: omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 "rtsp://192.168.2.237:554/user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&channel=1&stream=0" # Option 3 Sub-stream: omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 "rtsp://192.168.2.237:554/user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&channel=1&stream=1.sdp" # Option 4 UDP: omxplayer --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 "rtsp://192.168.2.237:554/user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&channel=1&stream=0.sdp"
