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

evroom

You try to add --genlog after the omxplayer command, like
omxplayer --genlog --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp ............
Then check the omxplayer.log, normally located under the directory where you started the command.
Or find it using sudo 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=27

I could try to set it up again for a sat stream.

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

@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?

evroom

@bill22

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) ?

bill22

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)

@bill22

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)

Hi, last posts for today.

I found 2 parameters to test.

Can you do

$ /usr/bin/omxplayer --info --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win '351 968 703 1210' 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

and send the output ?

And

$ /usr/bin/omxplayer --genlog --hw --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win '351 968 703 1210' 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

and send the omxplayer.log ?
