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

jngo

@evroom
I keep pretty much all modules as default (just like yours): calendar, event, weather now, forecast, news feed, and this stream video from my camera. That’s all I need.
My screen is a 22" Dell monitor and I do not rotate it so it’s horizontal. But because the stream video window appears in the middle of the whole thing, the layout of the modules on the screen looks so bad so I hope I could find the way to aligned it (bottom-right) with the right edge of my weather now (which is at top-right)

My info is below

Starting stream stream1 with args: [
“–avdict”,
“rtsp_transport:tcp”,
“–win”,
“1268, 511, 1620, 753”,
“–live”,
“–video _queue”,

My stream video window size is 640 x 360 px

And from your config.js the moduleWidth, moduleHeight and the width and height from the stream, please.

@evroom
from the config.js file:

moduleWidth: 640
moduleHeight: 360

The wdth and height from the stream is also 640 x 360 px

Is this you are looking for?

Yes, but cannot promise anything :-)

Cannot get the module to run on my MM.
Most probably a new install will work miracles, but I do not want to spend too much time /effort on it.

@evroom
Yeah, anything would help but i totally understand that you have your MM working now and certainly do not want to mess that up!
If you could point me what code and where to look at, I may be able to play along… Right now, I have no idea what to adjust…
Thank you

@jngo
One more question: what is the size of your display in pixels ?

jngo

@evroom
My screen size is 1920 x 1080 pixel

If I understand omxplayer correct and did the calculations right, then this is what you see.

Basically you are seeing a streaming window of just 334x242.
I do not know where the model window is, but I suppose it is on the same location.

@evroom
You are genius… Yes, the square that you draw is what I am seeing now…
Is there a way to move the whole thing to the right and lower a bit?
Thank you again

evroom

If you edit your custom.css file and restart MM then you can see the module position better:

$ vi /home/pi/MagicMirror/css/custom.css
:
:
.MMM-RTSPStream .innerWrapper {
  //border-style: none;
  border: 1px solid red;
}

You can use the editor of your liking of course.

Btw, I see (wrong ??) fixed values MMM-RTSPStream.css:

$ cat /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream/MMM-RTSPStream.css
:
:
.MMM-RTSPStream .innerWrapper {
  position: relative;
  width: 352px; /* Video width + 2*border + 2*padding */
  height: 242px;
  border: 1px solid white;
  /*float: left;*/
  display: inline-block;
  text-align: center;
  margin: 2px;
}

So, whatever your settings are in config.js, the result will be the same.
I would try to change it to:

width: 658px; /* Video width + 2*border + 2*padding */
height: 360px;

And then check pm2 logs for the --win settings it results to.
Or even comment it out and see what happens:

//  width: 352px; /* Video width + 2*border + 2*padding */
//  height: 242px;

Let me know the result and the pm2 log output (–win part).
