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

barnosch

added the pkill commands but it does not work. It does not kill the apps.

From time to time, the feed disappears. Have not yet found when and why.
Sometimes it runs 2 days without problems, the other day it only lasts for some hours.
Weird.

Only thing what helps is currently a reboot of the whole pi.

Since it was to complicated to log in on a device to give the reboot command, i set up a
Amazon Dash Button and placed it right next to the mirror.
So my wife can reboot the mirror with just a simple ~~order-~~ click. ;)

Hopefully the OMX version will become more stable sooner or later.

I don’t understand, I downloaded the module, i’ve added this to my config.js file and I only see the square box where it’s supposed to show the feeed but it doesn’t show anything. The box is blank. If I put the same URL(rtsp://192.168.1.2:554/unicast/) in VLC on my magic mirror it works fine.
My MagicMirror is setup using Debian Jessie and I autostart MagicMirror via PM2. The camera I use is the XiaoMi XiaoFang Smart IP Security Home Camera running fang-hacks Please help.

@barnosch Having the same issue; only a browser refresh or restart of the MM works. I started to question my camera and thought it was going offline, but looks like it’s related to the current WIP version. :-)

@shbatm I try everything to get stream working with omxplayer but I always get a black blank screen. I don’t know what can I try anymore. When I change it back to ffmpeg the stream is working…

xblackdemonx

@Niggich Then why do you insist on using omxplayer then?

Niggich

@xblackdemonx The ffmpeg have a time difference from live to stream about 10 seconds.

xblackdemonx

@Niggich Not for me. I see maybe a 1/2 second delay only.

Niggich

@xblackdemonx how you did this? I try everything… how is your config?

xblackdemonx

@Niggich Nothing special. Maybe reboot your cameras?

           			 }
      		  }
 		   },

@xblackdemonx ok, almost the same like my config. Just the Framerate is different. I change it like it is in your config and will see.
