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

@shbatm Hey, I updated issue #33 with the errors I am seeing when you have a chance. Also, should I run this update although I am using the VLCplayer method? Let me know what you think. Thanks again for all your help!

I’m unable to get this module to load and run with FFMPeg anymore - as of 3PM 1/4/19 (Pacific Time (Seattle))

Update was applied as of that time.

I don’t know how to retrieve logs.

@djuscha, @Cr4z33 @barnosch @anthony6608 @bhepler @evroom, and anyone else using this module:

I just pushed a bunch of bug fixes for OMX Player to the develop branch. Please test and let me know if you are still seeing the same issues.

Fixes include:

App closing now spawns a new process to actually kill the OMX streams, it was getting cut off in the middle of closing everything due to it being an async process and leaving streams open.
Wait for DOM to be shown before calling to start the streams–this was causing the Fullscreen on Resume problems.
Only start one stream at a time if we’re in RotateStreams mode
Can jump to a specific stream in RotateStreams mode using notifications
Fixed and cleaned up all notifications and control from other modules
Fixed broken key bindings after MMM-KeyBindings upgrade
Fixed issue where module was trying to connect to PM2 while it was already connected (e.g. stop stream 1 and start stream 2 back to back).

To switch branches:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream
sudo rm -R node_modules/
git fetch --al
git checkout develop
git pull
npm install

I installed the new changes according your procedure.
I am using omxplayer for a RTSP stream of a IP cam.
I do not use rotation or any other fancy stuff.
I see the same issue as before: omx_stream1 has status stopped and when I click on the play button it also will not start.
I stopped and started mm 2 times and even did a complete reboot
It only can be started using

$ pm2 start omx_stream1

Another restart of mm shows that the omx_stream1 is being stopped, but never restarted.
After ever mm restart I will need to perform:

$ pm2 start omx_stream1

I noticed this in pm2 logs (do not see this after every mm restart):

0|mm  | Connecting socket for: MMM-RTSPStream
0|mm  | PM2: Stopping all OMXPlayer Streams...
0|mm  | Sockets connected & modules started ...
0|mm  | Launching application.
0|mm  | PM2: Checking if omx_stream1 is running...

PM2            | App [omx_stream1:1] exited with code [1] via signal [SIGINT]
PM2            | pid=2104 msg=process killed

In this case it was tried to start the stream, but it exited.
Starting it by hand makes it work again.

@shbatm I ran the develop update.

With omxplayer (and autoStart: false) I see stream labels changing when giving a voice command, but then no stream is starting.

With vlc nothing happens, not a single stream starting by voice command.

@shbatm

There was a problem with the steams not stopping on a restart, so the module sends a stop command first whenever it starts, do you have autoStart: true in your config?

OK. I’ll check this later today, the notification RTSP-PLAY should switch and start the stream so that’s an issue.

@Cr4z33 ~~try inserting this.playing = true; at Line 574 as the first line in the if statement and see if that works. I’ll test later today.~~

EDIT: Just pushed an update. Please try the latest release in develop
