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

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)

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 ?

2 more commands.
Just to be sure of a few things.

The --hw option did change the log output and the D-bus errors are gone.

$ /usr/bin/omxplayer --version

I get:

Hi and good evening!

Looks i get the same as you:

/usr/bin/omxplayer --version

Looks like you are doomed to watch Buck Bunny for the rest of your Magic Mirror life :-)

You did not get an error with — hw in your previous mail.
It did return with the prompt, right ?
You did not have to stop it using control C, I mean to say?
Normally omxplayer exits with: have a nice day ; )

Can you try

/usr/bin/omxplayer --genlog --hw --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 check the log file.

@evroom

Hopefully not…! we may need to find another one if we cannot fix it… :-)

No i didn’t stop it using control C.

 /usr/bin/omxplayer --genlog --hw --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

Okay, I think it is stumbling over the ampersands in your RTSP URL.
Try it with the RTSP part single quoted, like:

$ /usr/bin/omxplayer --genlog --hw --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'

Quotes work in general. Tested it on friend Buck Bunny.
