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

[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?

        module: 'MMM-RTSPStream',
        position: 'bottom_bar',
        config: {
            autoStart: true,
            rotateStreams: false,
            rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
            showSnapWhenPaused: false,
            moduleWidth: 354,
            moduleHeight: 240,
            stream1: {
                name: 'Salon',
                url: 'rtsp://192.168.1.2:554/unicast',
                snapshotUrl: '',
                snapshotRefresh: 10, // Seconds
                frameRate: "15",
                port: 9999,
           			 }
      		  }
 		   },

@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.

I noticed the following:
When using omxplayer i also had a black screen instead of the camera image.
I removed the sd card and inserted it in a different raspberry.
Then everything was working fine.
The only difference between those 2 is the monitor connected to it.
It was working on a 7 inch monitor and on a 24 inch monitor it didn’t work.
The problem was the resolution.
Now the module is using stream2 and i changed in my Hikvision camera the resolution settings for stream2.
Now my mirror is working fine.
Maybe this is also a solution for you.

I hope my configuration will help give you guys another possibility. I locked down my camera a bit with a username & password. So my configuration looks as so:

{
module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
    position: "bottom_left",
    config: {
          autostart: true,
          rotateStreams: false,
          showSnapWhenPaused: false,
          moduleWidth: 354,
          moduleHeight: 242,
          stream1: {
               name: 'Front Door',
               url: 'rtsp://[username]:[password]@10.0.0.25/cam1/mpeg4',
               port: 8027,
               shutdownDelay: 0,
               width: 352,
               height: 240,
               frameRate: "30"
               }
          }
}

The stream works fine with the omx… finally, after 4 weeks playing…

Another question. Is any way to remove the little white Frame around video picture?

@Niggich
What was the trick that made it work finally?
