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

[BKeyport]

@shbatm Thanks for updating us on what’s going on.

[KumarTRD]

@BKeyport what module would you suggest using? I have a Lorex NVR system and this is the last module that i NEED/WANT to complete my build.

[KumarTRD]

@sdetweil Have you had any success with this module?

[sdetweil]

@KumarTRD I don’t have a need, so haven’t really tried. a year or so ago

[BKeyport]

@KumarTRD Honestly, I run OMXPlayer direct, and have a custom built module to cut out the space for it.

[KumarTRD]

@BKeyport ahhh gotcha… i kinda got the module working last night but cant get t the configuration of it
that is the wall ive been running into.

@Cr4z33 Good answer. 🤣🤣

Then, again, I’m not sure how MMM-FreeboxTV is supposed to help with RTSP streaming - wanna comment, @Bugsounet ?

It is VERY similar to MMM-RTSPStream therefore you add the IP and options in a similar way. :)

I’ve got some hacked Xiaomi IP cams around the house and so far so good with MMM-FreeboxTV.

@Cr4z33 That sounds great. Could you share a screenshot how these camera’s looks like on the monitor/mirror?

[Cr4z33]

@goprojojo I am away from home, but it is nothing different from how it looks in MMM-RTSPStream. ;)

I am not able to respond to your settings right now, please remind me when I do not answer in a few days.

@Hram2008 Honestly, if it’s gonna work, you’ve got a good config. I don’t think “port” is valid (you’d put it on the URI)

Other than that…

Did you check the URI through https://www.ispyconnect.com/sources.aspx ?

iSpy is a great resource to get accurate URIs.

[sdetweil]

I’ve got a good one, just playing with RTPStream module… my MM is on a second monitor, and the box is shown on the MM screen, but the ffmpeg video is displayed in the same position on the 1st screen… oops…

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil whoops!

[raf]

on my other two rpi I use the rpisurv program which has been doing great for a number of years
you can find it in ipcamtalk forum

@BKeyport
I used Ispy to generate the URL… when tested in the VLC player it works. Just wont show on the MM screen. I only get Loading RTSP Stream displayed or a black box.

Hi,

I would first disable the module (disabled: true,) and restart MM.
Check if there are no omx_streams running (pm2 status).
Stop them when present (pm2 stop omx_stream1 / pm2 delete omx_stream1).

Then verify if omxplayer works standalone (use your own user & password & IP address).
If it does not work standalone, then there is no need to continue trying the module.

$ omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --win 85,65,725,425 --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --no-osd rtsp://user:password@192.168.178.55/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=640x360

If that works you can try this verified config (use your own user & password & IP address):

$ vi ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js

  {
    module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
    //disabled: false,
    disabled: true,
    position: "middle_center",
    header: "Axis Security Monitor",
    config: {
      autoStart: true,
      rotateStreams: false,
      moduleWidth: 640,
      moduleHeight: 360,
      localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
      remotePlayer: 'none',
      showSnapWhenPaused: false,
      remoteSnaps: false,
      stream1: {
        name: 'Axis_P1448_LE',
        url: 'rtsp://user:password@192.168.178.55/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=640x360',
        frameRate: "30",
        protocol: "tcp",
        width: 640,
        height: 360,
        omxRestart: 1,
        hwAccel: true,
      }
    }
  },

This works for Axis P1448-LE, M2026-LE Mk II and M1125-E.

Good luck.

@evroom
Thank you for the details, I am happy to report that the shared config also works for the Axis
Q3615. Thank you assist.

@evroom thanks for this, I am trying to get my vivotek cameras working,

omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --win 85,65,725,425 --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --no-osd rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.###/live1s3.sdp

This works great, and I see the feed perfect in the OMX player,

However, my config in the plugin doesn’t. I just get a black box. Any ideas would be appreciated.

		module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
			//disabled: false,
			//disabled: true,
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Cameras",
			config: {
				autoStart: true,
				rotateStreams: false,
				moduleWidth: 640,
				moduleHeight: 480,
				localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
				remotePlayer: 'none',
				showSnapWhenPaused: false,
				remoteSnaps: false,
				stream1: {
					name: 'Driveway',
					url: 'rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.###/live1s3.sdp',
					frameRate: "30",
					protocol: "tcp",
					width: 640,
					height: 480,
					omxRestart: 1,
					hwAccel: true,
					}
    		}
		},

@warrendt

Can you check following ?

Process omx_stream1 present:

$ pm2 status

$ ps -eaf | grep -v grep | grep omxplayer

Entries in pm2 log:

$ pm2 logs --lines 100

Might need to flush the logs and restart MM in order to show new RTSPStream log entries:

$ pm2 flush
$ pm2 restart MagicMirror

$ pm2 logs --lines 100

omxplayer version:

$ omxplayer -version

MMM-RTSPStream git status

$ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream
$ git status

I am on the develop branch, you might need o switch to that too.

$ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream
$ git checkout develop
$ npm install
