@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

@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

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.

This module needs to be fixed asap.

The developer @shbatm seems to have abandoned the project since many weeks/months and the module was a real good add to MagicMirror.

After latest MM upgrades it has broken and now streams come up in weird huge size and in a wrong position (stream position config settings get COMPLETELY ignored).

If someone skilled enough would be willing to post please a fix?

I assume it’s just a matter of some node_helper.js edit, but I have zero knowledge of JavaScript language…

@BKeyport are you able to do that please? :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

OK I solved the problem by replacing this module with MMM-FreeboxTV. 👋
