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

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.

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

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).

I adjusted the width and height in the css file like you instructed and restart MM. The result is that, the video stream window indeed gets bigger (W 658 x H 360) now but it does not really “move” to the right of the screen. Plus, at this size of the width, it becomes too wide that it covers the complimentary wording partially…
the “-win” is now “1127, 512, 1767, 872”
And with the “red” border of the stream window enabled, I can see that the red border frame aligned perfectly with the right-side of the screen however, the video feed itself does not fit within this red frame but is “top-left” off from the red frame
Any idea how I can move the video feed to fit the red border frame and, do not cover the complimentary wordings?
Thank you really, for your helps

how can i test with omxplayer that my camera link is playing ok?With vlc my link is ok but using omxplayer with the module i get nothing,empty box.

@costascontis
You can use the command
pm2 status
to check if it’s working.
Also, in the config.js file, you need to specify the omxplayer instead of vlc
localPlayer: ‘omxplayer’,

You can test it standalone with:

$ omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win "0 0 640 360" rtsp://[rrtsp_uri]

PS

Now the coordinates confuse me, but make sense (X-axis, Y-axis)

—win x1,   y1 , x2,   y2
—win 0,    0,   640,  360

Size of video stream:
(x2 - x1) x (y2 - y1) =  640 x 360

Could you briefly test it with width and height commented out ?

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

Just to see what is happening then.

Any idea how I can move the video feed to fit the red border frame and, do not cover the complimentary wordings?

I would try this:

Change the config.js:

:
:
moduleWidth: 468,
moduleHeight: 253,
:
:
        width: 450,
        height: 253,

Change the MMM-RTSPStream.css:

width: 468px; /* Video width + 2*border + 2*padding */
height: 253px;

height: 253px;

So I followed what you recommended: width 468 and height 253. The result is still the same: The red border frame is perfectly aligned with the right size of the screen (in bottom-right setup). But the live video stream window (468x253) is located more to the “left” and higher than the red frame
This thing really drives me nuts…gr.gr…gr…
