      rtsp://192.168.2.237:554/user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&channel=1&stream=0.sdp

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

          /user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&channel=1&stream=0.sdp

          Looking at the logs it looks like it’s trying to launch everything correctly. Just to confirm:

          1. The stream works correctly in VLC using the URL you have above.
          2. 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:

          1. 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
          2. Test the above with and without .sdp at 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 --win argument to test it full screen.
          3. Using UDP instead of TCP, put protocol: "udp" in your stream config (to test from command line, remove the rtsp_transport:tcp argument.
          4. Using stream=1 to 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.
          5. 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.

              1. Yes, it does work in VLC.
              2. 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:

              1. 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"

                    Hi @shbatm I am playing with your module to see TV programs from a Vu+ Duo² (a DVB-S2+DVB-T Linux/Enigma2 decoder).

                    The only thing I can’t succed is to see HD TV programs.
                    I’ve tried to use both

                    url

                    and

                    hdUrl

                    , but those streams won’t start (while normal SD programs are working just fine).

                    This is my current script by the way (the HD channel has been disabled in the meantime):

                    {
		    module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
		    position: "bottom_right",
		    // header: "Sky TG24",
		        config: {
		        autoStart: true,
		        rotateStreams: false,
		        rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
		        moduleWidth: 390,
		        moduleHeight: 219,
		        localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
		        remotePlayer: 'none',
		        showSnapWhenPaused: false,
		        remoteSnaps: false,
		        stream1: {
		            // name: 'Sky TG24',
		            // url: 'http://192.168.1.6:8001/1:0:1:5:7918:217C:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
		            name: 'RAI 3 TGR Puglia',
		            url: 'http://192.168.1.6:8001/1:0:1:D4B:8800:13E:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
		            // name: 'RAI 3 HD',
		            // hdUrl: 'http://192.168.1.6:8001/1:0:1:2191:5:13E:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
		            protocol: "tcp",
		            frameRate: 'undefined',
		            width: 390,
		            height: 219,
		            }
		        }
		},

                      Hi,

                      Can you check this ?

                      $ vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2

                      It should say “MPG2=enabled”.

                        Hi,

                        Can you check this ?

                        $ vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2

                        It should say “MPG2=enabled”.

                        License can be bought for a few euro’s:

                        http://www.raspberrypi.com/mpeg-2-license-key/

                        It is enabled as I followed your advice. ;)

                        As I said normal SD TV programs work just fine.
                        The problem is with High Definition programs.
