stuck with MMM-RTSP module

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

    I can’t get this working.
    So i’ll started to do some independent test.
    installed VLC player and then put my camera rtsp stream into VLC.
    Getting this message: vlc can’ t open rtsp://userxxxx:pwxxxxx%@192.168.1.241:xxxx/Videomain.

    next stream in VLC plays perfect
    rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov

    then I installed OMXplayer
    Loaded following stream:

    //sudo omxplayer -o hdmi rtsp://JSTAL:xxxxx@192.168.1.241:1052/videoMain

    This works fine, full videoscreen of my IPcam.

    then I modified config as follows

    //{
		            module: 'MMM-RTSPStream',
			    classes: 'default everyone',
		            position: 'middle_center',
		            config: {
		                autoStart: true,
		                rotateStreams: false,
		                rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
		                showSnapWhenPaused: false,
		                moduleWidth: 354,
		                moduleHeight: 240,
				localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
		                stream1: {
		                    name: 'Webcam 1 Test Stream',
		                    url: 'rtsp://JSTAL:xxxxxxxx@192.168.1.241:1052/videoMain',
		                    snapshotUrl: '',
		                    snapshotRefresh: 10, // Seconds
		                    frameRate: "25",
		                    port: 9999,
		                }
		            }
      		  },

    conclusion so far, installed software is OK

    ‘xxxxx’ in the rtsp stream is where i put my password.
    password contains special char ‘%’ - can the be the reason of VLC not showing the stream.

    so i’m stuck…
    any idea’s to solve are welcome.

    Maybe try changing the % to %25. This is the escape sequence for a percent sign in a url.
    rtsp://myname:my%pass@123.456.789.123:9876/videoMain
    becomes:
    rtsp://myname:my%25pass@123.456.789.123:9876/videoMain

    thanks for the tip.
    indeed changing the URL like you mentioned works in VLC. I can see the video image.
    But still didn’t worked on the MM.
    So I adapted the passwords.
    Now all works fine.
