[MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras

Cr4z33

@shbatm I am trying to get this module working with MMM-AssistantMk2 from @Sean so that I can switch TV channel streams (Dreambox) by voice command.
The issue is that instead of switching from a stream to another ALL of them start playing at the same time! :man_facepalming_medium_skin_tone: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

So far I’ve tried setting in the MMM-RTSPStream module both rotateStreams: false and rotateStreams: true, but it still happens.
I’ve also tried setting autoStart: false, but as soon as I give the voice command the nightmare starts on! :face_with_tears_of_joy:

This is my MMM-RTSPStream config:

			module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
			position: "bottom_right",
			disabled: false,
			config: {
				autoStart: false,
				rotateStreams: false,
				rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
				moduleWidth: 440,
				moduleHeight: 247,
				moduleOffset: {
						left: -330,
						top: -180
						},
				localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
				remotePlayer: 'none',
				showSnapWhenPaused: false,
				remoteSnaps: false,
				stream1: {
						name: 'Sky TG24',
						url: 'http://***/1:0:1:5:7918:217C:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440,
						height: 247
		            		},
				stream2: {
						name: 'RAI 3 TGR Puglia',
						url: 'http://***/1:0:1:D4B:8800:13E:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440,
						height: 247
		            		},
				stream3: {						
						name: 'RAI 3 HD',
						url: 'http://***/1:0:1:2191:5:13E:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440,
						height: 247
		            		},
				stream4: {
						name: 'Deejay TV HD',
						url: 'http://***/1:0:1:29:7918:217C:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440,
						height: 247
		            		},
				stream5: {
						name: 'Radio Deejay',
						url: 'http://***/1:0:2:9:204:1D:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440,
						height: 247
		            		},
				stream6: {
						name: 'Radio Capital',
						url: 'http://***/1:0:2:A:204:1D:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440,
						height: 247
		            		},
				stream7: {
						name: 'Radio 105',
						url: 'http://***/1:0:2:1FA7:32A:110:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440,
						height: 247
		            		}
		        	}
		},

And this is the section of MMM-AssistantMk2 where I set the voice commands.
They match both your instructions and @Sean 's ones:

					transcriptionHook: {
								"CHANNEL_1": {
										pattern: "Sky TG24",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_1"
										},
								"CHANNEL_2": {
										pattern: "Puglia",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_2"
										},
								"CHANNEL_3": {
										pattern: "Rai3",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_3"
										},
								"CHANNEL_4": {
										pattern: "Deejay TV",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_4"
										},
								"CHANNEL_5": {
										pattern: "Radio Deejay",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_5"
										},
								"CHANNEL_6": {
										pattern: "Radio Capital",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_6"
										},
								"CHANNEL_7": {
										pattern: "Radio cento cinque",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_7"
										},
								"PROFILE1": {
										pattern: "Famiglia",
										command: "CHANGE_PROFILE_1"
										},
								"PROFILE2": {
										pattern: "Mio",
										command: "CHANGE_PROFILE_2"
										}
								},
					command: {
							"CHANGE_CHANNEL_1": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
													payload: "stream1"
													}
									},
							"CHANGE_CHANNEL_2": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
													payload: "stream2"
													}
									},
							"CHANGE_CHANNEL_3": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
													payload: "stream3"
													}
									},
							"CHANGE_CHANNEL_4": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
													payload: "stream4"
													}
									},
							"CHANGE_CHANNEL_5": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
													payload: "stream5"
													}
									},
							"CHANGE_CHANNEL_6": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
													payload: "stream6"
													}
									},
							"CHANGE_CHANNEL_7": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
													payload: "stream7"
													}
									},

barnosch

the two streams work great again now, after pulling the older version.
Great. Thank you very much.
Also your new VLC based module sounds great.
But i guess, you maybe should create a whole new module for it?

The plan right now was to just leave it as another option for the localPlayer. OMXPlayer will still be an option for now as well. I don’t know if I’ll have time to split it out completely, but that would be much cleaner.

You’ll want the following settings which should give you 1 blank video box that does not show anything until you press play.

autoStart: false,
rotateStreams: true,
rotateStreamTimeout: 0,
localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
remotePlayer: 'none',
showSnapWhenPaused: false,
remoteSnaps: false,

I’m assuming you’re seeing the same glitch that is plaguing the last OMXPlayer version of this module. I’m working on it today to try and find what I broke. In the meantime, try reverting back and seeing if that fixes the issue. I just tested the following notification on the VLC version and it worked as expected, so it’s got to be something with omxplayer.

{
notification: "RTSP-PLAY",
payload: "stream3"
}

@shbatm although I am not a developer I agree with you.
Whenever I tried something different from normal module usage involving omxplayer it always ended up with a mess lol! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Going to try what you are suggesting here.

Can’t wait to see the VLC implementation (it just works as intended). :smiling_face_with_heart-eyes:

@shbatm nope the simultaneous streams have now dropped from 7 to 2, but still not what I want (aka a single stream). :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

Gonna try the develop branch and see how it is doing right now.

shbatm

@cr4z33 Still looking into it, but I just thought of something… it doesn’t look like you’re calling RTSP-STOP on the old stream anywhere when changing channels so right now it’s going to keep starting streams every time–there’s no “1 at a time” method when controlling it from notifications… yet.

This post is deleted!

@djuscha I’ve reverted the changes that I think broke the master channel. Please try updating your module to the current master branch and test.

shbatm

@cr4z33 ~~Added something that might help. Please use the develop branch and update your change channel commands to :~~

{
~~notification: “RTSP-PLAY”,~~
~~payload: { stream:“stream1”, stopOthers: true }~~
}

EDIT: Nevermind, don’t do that. I fixed the glitch on the develop channel that was starting more than one stream when rotateStreams: true was set. Please try that and see if it works now.
