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

@djuscha said in [MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras:

both streams are on stop and error messages

This looks like the same error I got when I tried to use omxplayer with the OpenGL driver enabled in raspi-config. You’ll have to use the legacy driver if you want to use omxplayer on the most recent version of Raspbian.

EDIT 10-Jan-19: Use the latest develop branch version. omxplayer requires the --no-osd flag to work properly with the OpenGL (Fake KMS) driver.

@shbatm I can confirm that I followed the whole instructions properly and I am using notification: "RTSP-PLAY", payload: "streamX" indeed for my 7 different streams (so yes less than 10).

All I can say is that it is NOT working as intended. :winking_face:

Anyway I always forgot to post the (latest version) PM2 log so here it is if you can find anything helpful?
I wish I could do more, but again I am not skilled enough sorry… :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

PM2 Log

@cr4z33 @evroom the last things I can suggest to try:

@Cr4z33 Make sure you have autoStart: false in your config. @evroom yours should be true.
Update the module one more time:

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

Nuke and update your pm2:

pm2 kill
rm ~/.pm2/dump.pm2
sudo npm i -g pm2

Restart the MM script (you’ll have to redo pm2 save BEFORE you run any streams if you want the MM to start on boot).

@shbatm I feel sorry, but nothing has improved. :disappointed_face:

@shbatm
Performed all steps.
No change: no stream is started (nothing in the pm2 logs).

Then deleted the MMM-RTSPStream module completely.
Rebooted.
Installed the module again.
No change: no stream is started (nothing in the pm2 logs).

Then performed all steps to get in the develop branch.
No change: no stream is started (nothing in the pm2 logs).

I ended up disabling the module and running a script under pm2 control.

Pity, it worked just fine till I started to test the changes.
The ‘pm2 delete omx_stream1’ was the final blow, but should not be the reason for a stream not to appear again.

Perhaps a complete re-install of MM is necessary, but that is too much work for now.
Should I be forced to do so in the future, I will give MMM-RTSPStream a try again.

@cr4z33 Can you please post (or send in chats) your current config. I’m curious if we’re missing something obvious.

@evroom I’m sorry you can’t get it working again. I’m at a loss as to why it’s not starting the streams properly. Everything in your config you sent looks like it should be working from the module’s end. The only thing I can think of is something else is interfering and preventing the module from starting. (Would show up as a “MMM-RTSPStream is suspended…” in the DevTools (web browser) console logs.

@evroom I’m sorry but I haven’t read too far back in the posts but have you tried disabling your other modules to determine if there’s a conflict somewhere?

The reason I ask is because shbatm helped me recently with everything setup correctly but stream not displaying. One of the issues turned out to be the GoogleMapsTraffic module. Just wanted to mention that just in case. Good luck!

@shbatm here you go. :slightly_smiling_face:

I just get a blank screen.Steam is working nice with vlc,its the second low res stream of this camera.
config:

    module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
    position: "top_center",
    config: {
        autoStart: true,
        rotateStreams: true,
        rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
        moduleWidth: 354,
        moduleHeight: 240,
        localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
        remotePlayer: 'none',
        showSnapWhenPaused: false,
        remoteSnaps: false,
        stream1: {
            name: 'bibicam',
            url: 'rtsp://admin:@192.168.1.108:554/12?',
            frameRate: undefined,
            width: undefined,
            height: undefined,
            },
        }
}

any ideas?

For the first one:

That’s a new one by me… maybe time for Google on that one.

For the blank screen: watch all of the PM2 logs (pm2 logs command) and see if you see something like this:

1|omx_stre | * failed to add service - already in use?
1|omx_stre | /usr/bin/omxplayer: line 67: 15281 Aborted (core dumped)

If you do, you probably have the latest version of Raspbian with the OpenGL driver enabled in raspi-config– omxplayer isn’t working properly with the OpenGL driver enabled, if you want to use omxplayer, you’ll have to enable the legacy driver: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=204794

If you see anything else in the PM2 logs, let me know.
