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

evroom

@bill22
In the config part add

rotateStreams: true,
rotateStreamTimeout: 60,

and add 2 or more streams (stream1 and stream2).

Silly question - is there a way within the RTSP protocal to detect when the camera detects motion, so you can trigger something? What I was thinking is to flash the screen background if the camera sees motion…

Thanks!

Is there a way to hide the play/pause button? I’m not using a mouse on my mirror so it’s useless. Also, i’s creating its own separate gigantic white box that doesn’t line up with my actual video stream (which I have to force its position using moduleOffset).

BKeyport

The white box is easy to get rid of:

In ~/MagicMirror/css/custom.css

/* This removes the white border around the RTSP feed(s). */
.MMM-RTSPStream .innerWrapper {
  border: 0;
}

As far as the play button, I’ve never seen it, so I don’t know how to get rid of it, I don’t use keyboard or mouse on my mirror.

FYI, other css that might be useful:

/* This shrinks the left and right regions so that RTSPStream don't overlap. */
.region.right .module-content,
.region.left .module-content {
  min-width: 450px;
  max-width: 450px;
}

@BKeyport That worked to remove the white box, thanks!

I’m still struggling with getting the module to just show where I want it. I don’t know why it doesn’t just listen to “position” like every other module where I can tell them all to be top_right and they’d all line up in the appropriate order. I’m fighting with moduleOffset entering random numbers to see if I can find a decent spot, but it still overlaps, causes indentation, and is just a mess. Then often times the module will just disappear after being on screen for a couple minutes.

Odd - I’m having no problem moving it around - although, if you’re using OMXPlayer, it’s overlaying on top of the screen, it won’t play nice with other modules in the same position…

Hello, I’m Peter,
when I add RTSTStream to my MagicMirror, I have a little problem with RTSPStream module.

When display is in normal mode on 27’ screen, everything is ok, picture from Cam is good, normal dimensions etc

But when in /boot/config.txt in rpi3 the display_rotation=1, picture form cam is cut like on screen.

Someone could help me with this problem?

Many thanks to You All
Peter

Try using the GL driver to rotate…

I’ll post my config.txt and autostart settings tonight, don’t have access to them right now.

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 ?
