[MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras
-
MPG2 license is enabled now.
There is a difference now as the grey box from RTSP Stream module contains a Pause symbol (autostart is enabled) when moving the mouse over it…and becomes a play button when i click on it.
I have also adapted the frame rate and size towards the parameters shown in the VLC player detail window.
Any other idea what i could try…?

@bill22
You have to remove the second $ in the command.
This $ in my examples is just to say to run it from the the command line. -
You try to add
--genlog
after the omxplayer command, like
omxplayer --genlog --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp ............
Then check theomxplayer.log
, normally located under the directory where you started the command.
Or find it usingsudo find . -name omxplayer.log

Just a disclaimer.
I do not use this module any more for my stream (a webcam using h.265).
See first post on this page:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/2743/mmm-rtspstream-video-streaming-from-live-feeds-security-cameras/262?page=27I could try to set it up again for a sat stream.

Thanks and i entered the command in the right way again:

@evroom said in [MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras:
@evroom Thanks a lot for your support especially as you are not using the module actually anymore…
Am i right that the RTSPStream module is the best option/only one i could use for my case?
-
I think I have the same issue as you:
It would be the best option, if it would work. :-)As a workaround for my IP cam issue, I use omxplayer as a separate process.
It is an overlay on top of your screen anyway.For you, it is first priority to get your stream using omxplayer working, outside of MM
So disable the module and restart MM.module: "MMM-RTSPStream", disabled: true, : :
Then we take it from there.
Can you confirm that your stream is MPEG-4 (vlc player media information) ?
-
yes, that would be great having the module just working :-)
Picture looks same as on mine…
Module is disabled.
Just checked again in VLC.
Codec: MPEG-1/2 Video (mpgv) -
Can you confirm that this works ?
$ /usr/bin/omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win '351 968 703 1210' rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov
I have to say that the error message using your stream looks rather ugly
WARNING: Failed to acquire D-Bus name ‘org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.omxplayer’
I do not know what is does.
The help says:--dbus_name name. Set D-Bus bus name (default: org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.omxplayer)
