      Yes, another RTSPStream issues thread!

      Long story short, I’ve been running RTSPStream for years without a problem. About a month ago I wiped out my pi and started fresh with Stretch, reconfigured and even used the same config file as prior with no problems ( using the same camera and same http: link to camera). Now I have issues with my stream going blank randomly. It will work fine for a while when MM boots up then randomly will just go blank. I have spent the past couple weeks digging through this forum researching and reading all the other issue threads related but I am officially out of ideas. This is the troubleshooting I have done so far:

      Disabled GL drivers
      Tweaked config based on suggestions on other threads
      Verified Omxplayer is updated
      Verified stream works fine via VLC
      Tested with both low and high-quality feeds
      Increased GPU memory to 120

      As for logs, I can’t seem to capture any errors or red flags popping up regarding RTSPStream from the ‘mm-out.log’. The only thing I could verify is when the stream is working, omx_stream1 shows online, and offline when it goes blank. If I try to perform ‘pm2 start omx_stream1’ it will revert back to online, but the stream is still blank.

      If anyone has any idea or guidance for me I would greatly appreciate it. It seems the issue happened when switching to Stretch as everything worked perfectly with Jessie. Maybe there are more logs I don’t know of that can help pinpoint this issue?

      Here is the latest from the logs, this is current from today after waiting for the stream to go blank. All the previous logs are the same, just repetitive:
