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

Egnos

Hello to all,
I congratulate the developer of this module which, if I manage to make it work, will be very useful to me! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

I describe my environment:
I’m testing the various modules on a virtual machine (Virtual Box) that runs on a Windows 10 PC.
For now all modules work perfectly except MMM-RTSPStream.

Description of the problem:
I followed the installation guide at this link.

When dependencies are installed the installation fails

To me it looks like it cannot install omxplayer.
You can try to install it manually.
The script does it using this command:

sudo apt install -y omxplayer

Perhaps another command is needed, or indeed the package to install omxplayer does not exist for your platform.

BKeyport

evroom’s got it right. OMXplayer isn’t being installed. I understand it went under a few management changes, so it could be trying to access an old version or something. RTSPStream’s clunky enough that you might find it easier (and better) to run OMXplayer independently of the mirror, like evroom has done, as have I.

see earlier in this thread: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/2743/mmm-rtspstream-video-streaming-from-live-feeds-security-cameras/259

steps really to take RTSP-Stream out and run OMX directly:

Find the resolution of your screen so you know your range. (1920x1080 in my case)
Figure out the resolution of the stream. (640x360 in my case)
figure out where on the screen you want it using the top left corner, this would become your X1 and Y1 (I wanted it in the upper right corner, so, that was rather easy)
Add width of your stream to X1 for X2, height of your stream to Y1 for Y2.
omx player will likely need the following commands: “–avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --fps 30” as well as the following
The “–win” command string is “X1 Y1 X2 Y2”
If you have your screen rotated, and omxplayer doesn’t play along (it likely wont), add “–orientation” and how many degrees to twist (90 = portrait “right”, 180 = landscape “upside down”, 270 Portrait “Left”) command line, and adjust X and Y calculations for 90 or 270 rotation. The X and Y will remain as if the screen isn’t rotated.

I used the first one of these, but the other 3 is as rotated for the same corner.
omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --fps 30 --orientation 0 --win “1280 0 1920 360” [url]
omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --fps 30 --orientation 90 --win “1560 0 1920 640” [url]
omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --fps 30 --orientation 180 --win “1280 0 1920 360” [url]
omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --fps 30 --orientation 270 --win “1560 0 1920 640” [url]

Thanks a loro @BKeyport and @evroom!
In a few days I will try your advice.

does this mean i have to uninstall the module RTSPStream’s and install only the component OMXplayer?

Thanks

If you are able to install OMXPlayer, then you can give MMM-RTSPStream a try.
In principle it does work, depending on what you want to stream.
If it works for you, perfect, if it doesn’t, then try if omxplayer works standalone,
Actually testing omxplayer standalone is always a good thing before trying out MMM-RTSPStream.

BKeyport

You don’t have to uninstall a module - just take it out of your config. In my case, once I got OMX working, and followed evroom’s instructions to start, I found that using OMX directly rather than through the module is rather cleaner. I can run the hi-def stream for one thing.

Hi, i have used the Module for a long time now jsut with snapshots. I never streamed live.

A year ago i switched the native magic mirror to docker install to use it for more devices at the same time. RTSPStream just worked fine after that change. But in last december i updated it and since that moment it stopped working. I had other issues to do so i did not investigate the cause.

But now i want to get it back working.

The error i can see via web logging is this:

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to construct 'WebSocket': The URL 'ws://192.168.10.1:undefined' is invalid.

I’ve tried now different ways and also checked if it is streaming. I have installed ffmpeg within the docker container and also the node-rtsp-stream-es6 module. Also i have installed node-rtsp-stream-es6 at one rpi client and just to be sure ffmpeg. But in the past it worked without it.

Here is my config (now with ffmpeg streaming):

can anybody assume where to search the cause? I’m out of ideas :(

If i just want to have snapshots i get this:

@BKeyport and @evroom I tried to install omxplayer but i always get the same error:

E: Impossibile trovare il pacchetto omxplayer

Can you help me?

Many thanks!

BKeyport

It looks as though you’re on a Pi, correct? If I recall right OMX should be installed with the OS in more than the “lite” install…If it’s not there, it’s not available in your language, maybe. I’m not too versed in how those installs work.

What platform are you on.
Raspberry Pi with Debian?

lsb_release -a

sudo apt-get install omxplayer
