Some tips/improvements.
I’ve disabled the sound in the omx-stream by adding the arguments “-n”,“-1”, in the node_helper.js
payload.forEach(s => { var args = ["--live", "--video_queue", "4", "--fps", "30","-n","-1", this.config[s.name].url ];
I had problems with the omx-streams (i have three) not restarting correctly. So instead of stopping the processes and then starting, i’ve changed the command to restart.
for (var proc in list) { if ("name" in list[proc] && namesM.indexOf(list[proc].name) > -1) { if ("status" in list[proc].pm2_env && list[proc].pm2_env.status === "online") { console.log(`PM2: ${list[proc].name} already running. Stopping old instance...`); // pm2.stop(list[proc].name, errCB); pm2.restart(list[proc].name, errCB); } } }

what is the right process to follow for a new installation? the github page or the explanation on page 17?

I have RTSP enabled on my Wyze camera, but nothing displays with this module. The URL it provides is in the format:
rtsp://USER:PASSWORD@ADDRESS/liveI noticed that it doesn’t provide the actual file extension such as .mov so I’m wondering if that’s preventing this from working for me.
-
Can you try this ?
$ omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win "0 0 480 320" rtsp://USER:PASSWORD@ADDRESS/live
To see if it works standalone.
I forgot if a license is needed for the camera stream, but to know if a license is present:
$ vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2

Started at page 17 and running on the latest develop branch and trying to use omxplayer. Open GL fake is running with 128. Using VLC on a windows PC I’m able to get the RTSP stream working.
In VLC I chose network stream use the URL
rtsp://admin:******@192.168.200.4:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
I do have select ‘Active Transcoding’ and use Video -H.264 + MP3 (MP4)When I run it on MagicMirror I get this:
It’s an Amcrest Camera. I’m able to test using the “Big Buck Bunny” and that works great.

Update: This issue appears specific to my Amcrest Camera. I’m able to stream my Arecont Camera.On that not my Arecont Camera has 4 lenses. How could have to RTSP stream windows side by side? Each showing one lense with no border?

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!

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, }, } },
