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

Cr4z33

@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

└──────────┴────┴─────────┴──────┴─────┴────────┴─────────┴────────┴─────┴──────────┴──────┴──────────┘

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.

@shbatm things are doing waaaay better now! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

With omxplayer stream switching is almost OK if it wasn’t that it doesn’t select the wanted stream.
Ie. I want stream3 therefore I give the voice command, but then it starts playing the wrong stream (and always random).
Voice recognition is 100% correct as I always have a textual confirmation of command on screen.

With vlc it’s a mess as multiple streams ALWAYS start at the same time after a voice command.

At this point I don’t care who will be the chosen player as long as we get everything working so omxplayer would be fair enough if running properly. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

Back on develop branch again.
No change.
Now the “pm2 remove omx_stream1” looks to be a major mistake, as I cannot get the stream running again.
I do not see the module trying to start a new stream anymore.

What would be the command line for starting the stream and having it appear under “pm2 list” ?
In other words, what does the module do in order to achieve this ?
