I am trying to have this module running succesfully in Ubuntu Desktop, but it doesn’t work right now.

I ran the bash setup command and choosed the master build (dev build gave the same errors).

@Cr4z33 said in [MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras:

Error: Cannot find module ‘node-rtsp-stream-es6’

did u do npm install in the “/home/cr4z33/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream” folder?

Cr4z33

@sdetweil yep.

sdetweil

@Cr4z33 can u try this

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/shbatm/MMM-RTSPStream
ls node_modules/node-rtsp-stream-es6
rm -rf node_modules/node-rtsp-stream-es6
rm package-lock.json
npm install
ls node_modules/node-rtsp-stream-es6

then try restarting MM

@sdetweil thanks for helping! :)

Last command showed an error that looks like (translated from Italian):

cr4z33@Cr4z33-UbuntuDesktop-VM-Synology:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream$ 
ls node_modules/node-rtsp-stream-es6
ls: Cannot access 'node_modules/node-rtsp-stream-es6': File or directory does not exist

In fact looking in the node_modules folder there’s no node-rtsp-stream-es6 directory. :thinking_face:

I then thought it was a good idea running npm install node-rtsp-stream-es6 in the MMM-RTSPStream directory.
The folder was created at last, but then I kept getting errors at MM launch:

cr4z33@Cr4z33-UbuntuDesktop-VM-Synology:~/MagicMirror$ npm start

> magicmirror@2.12.0 start /home/cr4z33/MagicMirror
> DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

Problem sorted by manually untarring the module from a previous (RPI4) backup.

Basically the module installation in Ubuntu could not be completed properly and therefore a lot of stuff was missing. :)

Hmmm one more issue came out…

While opting to go for Debian 10.x instead of Ubuntu I notice now that the stream window doesn’t go where it should.

Basically I choosed to place it on bottom right, but it pops in a vlc titled window (and in the wrong position) instead. :confused_face:

Here’s the screenshot:

@Cr4z33 RTSPStream uses an external utility to move VNC around the screen, it’s entirely possible that utility doesn’t work in Debian or isn’t installed in your version.
