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…

@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 ! !

Great!!

Now you could try to enable the RTSPStream module again.
Use

url: ''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'',

It can be that you need to play a little.

I hope you understand what I mean.

Look at the pm2 log for clues.

Over and out for today.

@evroom

Try this

url: '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',

Perhaps even the ? needs to be escaped

url: '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',
