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

[Egnos]

@JerryP thank you for answering me!
The stream is ok, I think the problem is the coexistence between MMM-Pages and this module. For now I have managed using the omxplayer command which he launched from the terminal outside of MM.

[BKeyport]

@Egnos that’s the best method, it seems. Only way i can keep my streams from crashing.

Sorry at this time I don’t have any solution.

I understand that the developer of this module is not supporting it, but
I see a lot of people are using it or at least trying to…
I have it working with 3 Wyze v2 cams, using omxplayer.
I would like to see if using vlc would possibly fix the lag time loading the cam output… I have a approximately 10 second lag between module start up and the picture actually showing up…
Problem is when I change the localPlayer: to vlc from omxplayer I get a blank screen screen. I reinstalled vlc player to my rpi but can not figure out how to get it to load vlc. I use carousel and have approx 35 different modules working through it… I tried pm2 start vlc and it did but still did not show a feed.
I posted my config.js minus keys and passwords of course. Any help is appreciated…
