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

[drx1984]

@Cr4z33 Unfortunately it does not work. can you help me?
is the MMM-RTSPstream module no longer functional?

[BKeyport]

@drx1984 Consider it abandonware… It’s dead.

[Sh4wn9]

Im using the module with ffmpeg, everything is working fine until i try and use MMM-ModuleSchedule. The module will hide no problem but when its time to show the module i get just a grey screen where the stream should be. If anyone could help i can provide whatever logs needed. I have just done a fresh install as of yesterday…

[BKeyport]

@Sh4wn9 I believe that using any sort of hiding breaks the module, long standing bug.

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

Hi everyone,
I believe that the MMM - RTSPStream module is incompatible with the MMM-Pages multi page module!
By removing MMM-Pages, the RTSPStream module works again.
The link for the video stream works correctly both with VLC and with the “omxplayer” command.

The version of MM I am using is the latest available 2.14.0.

The error I find in the console is the following:

MMM-RTSPStream.js:164 MMM-RTSPStream has resumed... rotateStreams: true, autoStart: true
MMM-RTSPStream.js:368 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getBoundingClientRect' of null
    at Class.playStream (MMM-RTSPStream.js:368)
    at Class.rotateStream (MMM-RTSPStream.js:123)
    at Class.setupStreamRotation (MMM-RTSPStream.js:94)
    at Class.resumed (MMM-RTSPStream.js:168)
    at newCallback (MMM-RTSPStream.js:186)
    at main.js:324

Here is my configuration:

{
		   module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
		   position: "bottom_right",
		   header: "Test",
		   config: {
			    //initialSetup: true,
				autoStart: true,
				rotateStreams: true,
				rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
				moduleWidth: 354,
				moduleHeight: 240,
				localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
				remotePlayer: 'none',
				showSnapWhenPaused: false,
				remoteSnaps: false,
				
				stream1: {
					name: 'Ingresso',
					url: 'rtsp://xxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx.x.xxx:554/stream1',
					frameRate: 'undefined',
					//width: undefined,
					//height: undefined,
						},
				}
		},

In the “bottom_right” region what I see:

Have any of you noticed this incompatibility?

Any advice / help is welcome.
Thanks.

Goodmorning, I belive.

Pleas run this line in a VLC player. if you can see the camera screen than you know that the connection is oke.
After that we kan see what’s wrong whit the config.js
bur first check if you see the camera feet…
pleas

Whits type camera you use???

@JerryP thank you for answering me!
The stream is ok, I think the problem is the coexistence between MMM-Pages and this module. For now I have managed using the omxplayer command which he launched from the terminal outside of MM.

[BKeyport]

@Egnos that’s the best method, it seems. Only way i can keep my streams from crashing.

[sophia787]

Sorry at this time I don’t have any solution.

I understand that the developer of this module is not supporting it, but
I see a lot of people are using it or at least trying to…
I have it working with 3 Wyze v2 cams, using omxplayer.
I would like to see if using vlc would possibly fix the lag time loading the cam output… I have a approximately 10 second lag between module start up and the picture actually showing up…
Problem is when I change the localPlayer: to vlc from omxplayer I get a blank screen screen. I reinstalled vlc player to my rpi but can not figure out how to get it to load vlc. I use carousel and have approx 35 different modules working through it… I tried pm2 start vlc and it did but still did not show a feed.
I posted my config.js minus keys and passwords of course. Any help is appreciated…
