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

i think using this module from develop branch it work decent with vlc but…it is breaking other modules and features and freezing mm from time to time.My backup from pre installing develop branch is working for weeks without a glitch.After installing the module and viewing just one stream ,its a matter of a few hours that something will stuck or mm freeze.I think that upgrading electron and using opengl is not ready for MM yet.

@shbatm I’ve sent you yesterday a private message with everything you asked me.

Did you find in it anything helpful to fix the issue? :)

Did you see his post where he stated he was away working to earn money? :) They do this on their spare time for free and have to make a living somehow. He’s been very good with answering my questions when he is around. I am sure he’ll respond as soon as he returns and has a chance.

@kasperb I actually added some code parts in the voice command module as per suggestion of its developer.

If you’re using MMM-AssistantMk2 then I can tell you what to do (not if using other modules). :)

Yes, I’m using MMM-AssistantMk2. Would love to hear your suggestion.

@kasperb in your config.js go to the MMM-AssistantMk2 module and add

			config: {
					onActivate: {
							timer: 0,
							command: "RTSP_DEACTIVATE"
							},
					command: {
							"RTSP_DEACTIVATE": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-STOP",
													payload: "all"
													}
										}
							}
					}

“RTSP_ACTIVATE”: {
notificationExec: {
notification: “RTSP-PLAY”,
payload: “all”
}
},

Regarding the other issue we’ve been working through – I sent you a chat, but if you have this part in your config with the rest of the TV channels–take it out and see if that fixes the problem you’ve been having with the wrong stream.

I think this is being called by AssistantMk2 after calling the individual stream.

@shbatm thank you mate deleting that part made everything work brilliantly!

So I am having finally some spare time to explain better how to to switch stream by voice control (think at ie. IP cameras, Internet TV/Radio channels, etc.).

We are going to use OMXplayer here (can’t say how it will be the result with VLC honestly…) and the good voice command module MMM-AssistantMk2.
So set it up properly and once you have it up and running come back and go on reading, otherwise contact @Sean (the author of that module) asking for help. :)

Open config.js with a text editor and go to the MMM-AssistantMk2 module section.
Replace

			config: {

with

			config: {
					onActivate: {
							timer: 0,
							command: "RTSP_DEACTIVATE"
							},
					transcriptionHook: {
								"CHANNEL_1": {
										pattern: "TV 1",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_1"
										},
								"CHANNEL_2": {
										pattern: "TV 2",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_2"
										},
								"CHANNEL_3": {
										pattern: "TV 3",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_3"
										},
								"CHANNEL_4": {
										pattern: "TV 4",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_4"
										},
								"CHANNEL_5": {
										pattern: "Radio 1",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_5"
										},
								"CHANNEL_6": {
										pattern: "Radio 2",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_6"
										},
								"CHANNEL_7": {
										pattern: "Radio 3",
										command: "CHANGE_CHANNEL_7"
										}
								},
					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"
													}
									},
							"RTSP_DEACTIVATE": {
										notificationExec: {
													notification: "RTSP-STOP",
													payload: "all"
													}
									},
					},

Please note that the aforementioned stream names (ie. “TV 1”) used after pattern: HAVE TO BE the same that we will use below in the MMM-RTSPStream module or it won’t work!
Of course they are all examples so fit them to your needs, but remember to use then the same naming.

So let’s go to enter MMM-RTSPStream like the following:

		{
			module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
			position: "bottom_right",
			disabled: false,
			config: {
				autoStart: false, // Streams will start by voice commands only
				rotateStreams: true,
				rotateStreamTimeout: 0,
				shutdownDelay: 0,
				moduleWidth: 420, // Adjust it to your needs
				moduleHeight: 236, // Adjust it to your needs
				localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
				remotePlayer: 'none',
				showSnapWhenPaused: false,
				remoteSnaps: false,
				stream1: {						
						name: 'TV 1',
						url: 'IPofstream1',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 420, // Adjust it to your needs
						height: 236 // Adjust it to your needs
		            		},
				stream2: {						
						name: 'TV 2',
						url: 'IPofstream2',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 420, // Adjust it to your needs
						height: 236 // Adjust it to your needs
		            		},
				stream3: {						
						name: 'TV 3',
						url: 'IPofstream',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 420, // Adjust it to your needs
						height: 236 // Adjust it to your needs
		            		},
				stream4: {						
						name: 'TV 4',
						url: 'IPofstream',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440, // Adjust it to your needs
						height: 247 // Adjust it to your needs
		            		},
				stream5: {						
						name: 'Radio 1',
						url: 'IPofstream',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 420, // Adjust it to your needs
						height: 236 // Adjust it to your needs
		            		},
				stream6: {						
						name: 'Radio 2',
						url: 'IPofstream6',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 440, // Adjust it to your needs
						height: 247 // Adjust it to your needs
		            		},
				stream7: {						
						name: 'Radio 3',
						url: 'IPofstream7',
						protocol: "tcp",
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 420, // Adjust it to your needs
						height: 236 // Adjust it to your needs
		            		}

This should be all.
You can add as many streams as you want (I don’t see the problem if you run them one by one). ;)
