      Im trying to use the VLC player on the “develop” branch code. Im running into issues with VLC. If I set my localplayer to omxplayer then everything works fine. If I change it to “vlc” I dont not get a picture. Is there something else I need to change for it to work? Thanks!

        disregard. didnt realize I needed to reload the node modules. seems to have fixed the issue.

            Hey guys I’m running into trouble getting my Reolink cameras to show. I can open the stream in vlc player but just get an outlined box on my magicmirror. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? It’s probably something simple. Here’s my code minus the username and password of course :)

            {
                module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
                position: "middle_center",
                header: "Front",
                    config: {
                    autoStart: true,
                    rotateStreams: false,
                    rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
                    moduleWidth: 354,
                    moduleHeight: 240,
                    localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
                    remotePlayer: 'none',
                    showSnapWhenPaused: true,
                    remoteSnaps: true,
                    stream1: {
                        name: 'Backdoor',
                        url: 'rtsp://user:pass@192.168.1.42:554//h264Preview_01_main',
                        frameRate: '10',
                        snapshotType: 'url',
                        snapshotRefresh: 10,
                        width: undefined,
                        height: undefined,
                        },
                    }
            },

              Check your IP string here: https://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=Reolink mine uses h264Preview_01_sub for instance.

              I do use ffmpeg for the picture as it seems to work better for my system - I have an RLC-410.

              		module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
              		position: "top_center",
              		config: {
              			autoStart: true,
              			rotateStreams: false,
              			moduleWidth: 640,
              			moduleHeight: 360,
              			localPlayer: 'ffmpeg',
              			remotePlayer: 'ffmpeg',
              			showSnapWhenPaused: false,
              			remoteSnaps: false,
              			omxRestart: 2,
              			stream1: {
              				name: 'Front Camera',
              				url: 'rtsp://user:pass@FrontCam/h264Preview_01_sub', 
              				protocal: "ucp",
              				width: 640,
              				height: 360, 
              				ffmpegPort: 9999,
              				shutdownDelay: 0,
              			},
              		}
              	},
              

              Oh, and if you want to get rid of the white box (I find it distracting) in your custom.css file:

              .MMM-RTSPStream .innerWrapper {
              border: 0;
              }

              The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

                Thanks for the link. Mine is the RLC-420 and says h264Preview_01_main. I even tried just using your code and replacing with my credentials but all I can get is a gray box. Strange thing is I can open main or sub in vlc just fine. I thought this was going to be an easy project haha

                  try ffmpeg, might be something wrong with the main player.

                    I did actually. It shows a pause button when I hover over it but just gives me a black screen. :(

                      hmmm. have you tried changing to “sub” rather than “main”? The “sub” feed is the lower quality feed, and better suited for RPI…

                        Hey Guys,

                        i face some problems to get the RTSP module to work with my stream and wonder if @shbatm or someone else can help.

                        Objective is to use the live dvb-c feed provided by an AVM FritzBox 6490 cable router to display the tv program on the MagicMirror (v2.7.1).

                        The link given by the FritzBox is working fine with the VLC player on the Raspberry but when using the same link in the RTSP module it remains a black screen.

                        Stream Link FritzBox:
                        rtsp://192.168.178.1:554/?avm=1&freq=394&bw=8&msys=dvbc&mtype=256qam&sr=6900&specinv=0&pids=0,16,17,18,20,266,593,594,595,598,1801,1802,1803

                        ———
                        Config used from generator:

                        {
                            module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
                            position: "middle_center",
                            config: {
                                autoStart: true,
                                rotateStreams: false,
                                rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
                                moduleWidth: 354,
                                moduleHeight: 240,
                                localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
                                remotePlayer: 'none',

                                remoteSnaps: false,
                                stream1: {
                                    name: 'test1',
                                    url: 'rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov',
                                    frameRate: 'undefined',
                                    width: undefined,
                                    height: undefined,
                                    },
                                stream2: {
                                    name: 'test2',
                                    url: 'rtsp://192.168.178.1:554/?avm=1&freq=394&bw=8&msys=dvbc&mtype=256qam&sr=6900&specinv=0&pids=0,16,17,18,20,266,593,594,595,598,1801,1802,1803',
                                    frameRate: 'undefined',
                                    width: undefined,
                                    height: undefined,
                                    },
                             
                                }
                        },
                        

                        ———

                        Some findings:

                        • When using above link from the FritzBox in VLC player, the stream is working inside VLC Player
                        • When using the Big Bunny test file on the mirror its starts automatically and running well
                        • Tried both in the config generator, rotating streams and show streams in parallel, it brings the same result.

                        The BigBunny streams is showing correctly with audio and video, FritzBox stream box will show grey frame with black content only and no sound.

                        —————
                        The console shows the following logs:

                        Great if you have an idea and can let me know what to change to get this running.
