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

acimail01

Is it possible to define a stream for playing a local file (e.g. .mp4 or .avi)?

acimail01

works with

		{
			module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
			position: "middle_center",
			config: {
				autoStart			: true,
				rotateStreams		: false,
				rotateStreamTimeout	: 30,
				moduleWidth			: 354,
				moduleHeight		: 240,
				localPlayer			: 'omxplayer',
				shutdownDelay		: 0,

					stream1: {
						name: 'Test Stream',
						url: 'file:///home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream/Videos/Feuer.mp4',
					},
				}
		},

but no sound !

in bash console works with: omxplayer -o alsa Feuer.mp4
How to set hdmi sound as default ?

Just wanted to cross-post this in case people are looking in this thread for a way to monitor and restart streams that have stopped:

Perhaps you can share the config.js part for MMM-RTSPStream with us?

The pm2 log output for this module is useful too.
The part where it shows the applied coordinates.

Thank you for your response, could you tell me the file I need to post to you?
{
module: “MMM-RTSPStream”,
position: “top_center”,
config: {
rotateStreamTimeout: 20, // Seconds
stream1: {
name: “Portail”,
url: “rtsp://MDP@192.168.1.16/MediaInput/h264”
},
stream2: {
name: “Dome”,
url: “rtsp://MDP@192.168.1.17/12”
},
}

Hi, bonjour, to be honest I do not see the problem right away. With truncated you mean you expect to see more? Of the top stream or the bottom stream, or both? What resolution(s) do you expect to see?

I suppose you followed the instructions from this repository:
https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-RTSPStream
Including the “To use this module, use the configuration builder tool included.” part to produce a recommended config for your stream(s).

I think your config defaults to the vlc player. Could you please do:

ps -eaf | grep -v grep | egrep 'omxplayer|vlc'

If you (re)start MagicMirror (or mm), then you will find some MMM-RTSPStream module related info.

pm2 logs --lines 200

It will start with something like this:

Starting stream stream1 with args:

I personally use omxplayer, but standalone, without using MMM-RTSPStream. Since it is an overlay anyway, I feel I can control it more.

Good luck gathering the information.

here is what i found. before it worked well, I think the best is to delete the plugin properly but I do not know how?

Okay, this looks like a bit more than a “truncated stream” issue.
That you see something at all is a miracle, I would say :-)

First of all, please use the </> button when providing output or pieces of config.
Select the text and press on the </> button.
Makes it a bit easier to read.

You can disable the module by putting ‘disabled: true’ in the config.js.
With the value false you can enable it again later.

module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
    disabled: true,

Or remove the whole module entry, but this is not necessary when there are no syntax errors.

Then restart mm.
I always use

pm2 restart mm

provided mm is the pm2 app name.
See

pm2 status

To remove the module completely you can simply remove or disable it from the config.js and then delete the structure

rm -rf ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream

Or move it out of the way when you want to attempt a second try:
mv ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream.old
