      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.

            Guys,
            I was able to install and configure correctly the RTSP module but only one camera works.
            The second stream just show a black video.
            I tried out to open it via OMXPLAYER and I do not get eny error but the video isn’t displayed.
            Any suggestion?
