      @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
        
        

        MagicMirror version: 2.30.0

          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...
          0|mm  | PM2: Stopping omx_stream1...

          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.

                after every mm restart

                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

                      Yes, I have.

                      Just to understand, when you start fresh, there is no omx_stream1 under pm2 list.
                      When you start your first stream, it is first visible under pm2 list, right?

                      Till now I was able to start the stream with pm2 start, but after removing the stream (pm2 remove omx_stream1), I cannot get it to work anymore.
                      MM restart, reboot, nothing helps.
                      And pm2 start now says:

                      pi@MagicPi:~ $ pm2 start omx_stream1
                      [PM2][ERROR] script not found : /home/pi/omx_stream1
                      script not found : /home/pi/omx_stream1
                      ┌──────────┬────┬─────────┬──────┬─────┬────────┬─────────┬────────┬─────┬──────────┬──────┬──────────┐
                      │ App name │ id │ version │ mode │ pid │ status │ restart │ uptime │ cpu │ mem      │ user │ watching │
                      ├──────────┼────┼─────────┼──────┼─────┼────────┼─────────┼────────┼─────┼──────────┼──────┼──────────┤
                      │ mm       │ 0  │ 2.5.0   │ fork │ 811 │ online │ 0       │ 4m     │ 0%  │ 2.5 MB   │ pi   │ disabled │
                      └──────────┴────┴─────────┴──────┴─────┴────────┴─────────┴────────┴─────┴──────────┴──────┴──────────┘
                      

                      Which makes sort of sense.

                      After MM restart, pm2 logs shows:

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

                      Will revert back to the master branch and try again.

                        Yes, the omx_stream1 is created the first time you play a stream with the module.

                        Please use the develop branch with omxplayer. It was working on my machine the last time I started.
