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

returns:

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.

Allright! :thumbs_up:

i have a picture overlay with the omxplayer showing the live stream TV signal!

Unfortunately it runs for a second and stops, continuously . > (buffer, cache,…?)

Audio is not there correctly. It sounds like white noise for a second and stops continuously.

FYI:

/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'

Getting somewhere.
Now you need to slowly add additional parameters.
Like --live --video_queue 4

bill22

i might be wrong. I added it here and received the error message “…file not found”:

/usr/bin/omxplayer --genlog --hw --win --live --video_queue 4 '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'

Do i need to add those parameters somewhere else?

@evroom

Thanks!
OK, positive effect on the video, running pretty smooth now!
Audio still missing…

evroom

@bill22
With Buck Bunny you had audio, right?
Audio over hdmi or audio jack?

Try adding --audio_queue 4
Then try removing --hw

bill22

@evroom

yes with Buck Bunny the audio was there.

I use audio over HDMI.

adding

--audio_queue 4

didn’t change the behaviour .

removed

--hw

Audio is working smoothly together with video ! !
