Before I am going to try to use these modules can someone please tell me whether they can be used with the Google AIY Voice Kit (v1) or not? :grimacing_face:

@Mykle1 thanks for clearing things out.

I also wanted to add that if you place the newsfeeds in the config, it also works better to place them in the js file as well. Not sure why, but I noticed that it does.
So, wanted to pass that on.

I am still working on getting a custom logo to show if one does not get pulled from the rss site.

Take your time don’t worry. ;)

In the meantime I am going to try too to put everything into the NewsFeeds js and see how things work.

Update
I saw no improvements by inserting the feeds straight into the JS. :disappointed_face:

@cr4z33

I have the model here with me. Personally, I find it too yellow / golden and a monitor seems too much through, so you can see the montior behind the glass.



Thanks for your kind feedback, but unfortunately it looks like the images upload didn’t end well? :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

What about Saint Gobain glasses?
That’s the other brand the local company was having available.

@goldjunge_chriz I have, but so far the only product I could find right now is the Pilkington MirrorView (the normal one so not the ‘50/50’ one), therefore I’ve to be 100% sure it is suitable (especially considering the big size…). :grimacing_face:

@goldjunge_chriz said in Brand new two way community order for all european countries - Open until 18 november 2018:

Yes, sorry… The shipping to the mentioned foreign countries is unfortunately priceless at this size…

Ach schade… :loudly_crying_face:

May I ask you please what material specs does this glass have so that I might try to look for a similar product locally? :crossed_fingers_medium-light_skin_tone:

@goldjunge_chriz said in Brand new two way community order for all european countries - Open until 18 november 2018:

Please read the first post again. your mirror is unfortunately too big for shipping to Portugal, I’m sorry…

What if I needed a 150x70 cm glass shipped to Italy then?
Same problem? :disappointed_but_relieved_face:

@cr4z33 said in MMM-NewsFeedTicker:

it normal that it uses almost 50% of the CPU load?

It sure is. The Pi struggles with that type of animation. I’m surprised it’s only 50%. You should monitor your CPU temp, as well.

So it’s not a matter of not so fast SD card then right?

I am using a heatsink on it therefore the average temperature so far is between 50° Celsius and 60° Celsius.

@justjim1220 said in MMM-NewsFeedTicker:

@cr4z33

what news site is it?

It’s

http://feeds.feedburner.com/SkyitTg24

and I would like to load

https://tg24.sky.it/static/images/lv/skytg24_logo_header.png

as default icon (also because I notice that ALL the news feeds I set don’t show the icon in the scrolling bar).

Last but not least is it normal that it uses almost 50% of the CPU load? :frowning_face_with_open_mouth:
I’ve got a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and a Samsung EVO Plus 32GB micro SD card.

@justjim1220 can you please help me setting a custom logo into

defaultLogo : ""

?

I’ve tried so far with several image formats and I’ve used both HTTP and HTTPS, but it still doesn’t load the logo… :thinking_face:

@el97 maybe it could help the OP, but certainly not me as I already have a TV system (Vu+ Duo²) to be used. ;)

@evroom I am in the same boat (with my Raspberry Pi 3 b+).

However I am 100% sure my Pi can handle HD channel streams as they work perfectly if using VLC!

@evroom said in [MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras:

Hi,

Can you check this ?

$ vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2

It should say “MPG2=enabled”.

License can be bought for a few euro’s:

http://www.raspberrypi.com/mpeg-2-license-key/

It is enabled as I followed your advice. ;)

As I said normal SD TV programs work just fine.
The problem is with High Definition programs.

Hi @shbatm I am playing with your module to see TV programs from a Vu+ Duo² (a DVB-S2+DVB-T Linux/Enigma2 decoder).

The only thing I can’t succed is to see HD TV programs.
I’ve tried to use both

url

and

hdUrl

, but those streams won’t start (while normal SD programs are working just fine).

This is my current script by the way (the HD channel has been disabled in the meantime):

{
		    module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
		    position: "bottom_right",
		    // header: "Sky TG24",
		        config: {
		        autoStart: true,
		        rotateStreams: false,
		        rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
		        moduleWidth: 390,
		        moduleHeight: 219,
		        localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
		        remotePlayer: 'none',
		        showSnapWhenPaused: false,
		        remoteSnaps: false,
		        stream1: {
		            // name: 'Sky TG24',
		            // url: 'http://192.168.1.6:8001/1:0:1:5:7918:217C:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
		            name: 'RAI 3 TGR Puglia',
		            url: 'http://192.168.1.6:8001/1:0:1:D4B:8800:13E:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
		            // name: 'RAI 3 HD',
		            // hdUrl: 'http://192.168.1.6:8001/1:0:1:2191:5:13E:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
		            protocol: "tcp",
		            frameRate: 'undefined',
		            width: 390,
		            height: 219,
		            }
		        }
		},

@evroom a-ha alright thanks!

@justjim1220 what should i put into

defaultLogo : ""

if I would like i.e to use a different logo?

Also what is the max. image size accepted (in MegaBytes and pixels) please? :)
Can we load various RSS into rotation into the same line?

@evroom said in TV Tuner:

Hi,

Try this:

# vi /home/pi/MagicMirror/css/custom.css
:
:
.MMM-RTSPStream .innerWrapper {
  border-style: none;
}

# pm2 restart MagicMirror

I would still try to have the video window and the module window overlap each other, as it perhaps may influence the position and aligning of other modules.

Sorry I am still a Linux/Raspberry noob so I couldn’t figure out how to edit custom.css with that script.
However this is how it looks right now:

@evroom said in TV Tuner:

Hi,

I remember it took me quite a while to have it to my likings (size and position of the window(s)).
The width and height of the stream defines the size of your video.
The width and height in the config defines the place of the stream and what you actually see.
A bit difficult to explain.
Works like a “sjabloon”, template.

Could you show your MMM-RTSPStream config settings and also a part of the ‘pm2 logs MagicMirror’ output ?
Where it says: “Starting stream stream1 with args: [”.

{
		    module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
		    position: "bottom_right",
		    // header: "Sky TG24",
		        config: {
		        autoStart: true,
		        rotateStreams: false,
		        rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
		        moduleWidth: 390,
		        moduleHeight: 219,
		        localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
		        remotePlayer: 'none',
		        showSnapWhenPaused: false,
		        remoteSnaps: false,
		        stream1: {
		            // name: 'Sky TG24',
		            // url: 'http://192.168.1.6:8001/1:0:1:5:7918:217C:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
		            name: 'RAI 3 TGR Puglia',
		            url: 'http://192.168.1.6:8001/1:0:1:D4B:8800:13E:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
		            // name: 'RAI 3 HD',
		            // hdUrl: 'http://192.168.1.6:8001/1:0:1:2191:5:13E:EEEE0000:0:0:0:',
		            protocol: "tcp",
		            frameRate: 'undefined',
		            width: 390,
		            height: 219,
		            }
		        }
		},

Hmm for some reason the log looks empty. :thinking_face:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 logs MagicMirror --lines 100
[TAILING] Tailing last 100 lines for [MagicMirror] process (change the value with --lines option)

So I got everything running (but HD channels).

Now @evroom (or @shbatm ) do you know if there is a way to get rid of the white frame under the video streaming? :grimacing_face:

@evroom said in TV Tuner:

@Cr4z33
Please find below an example for streaming from an Enigma2 box.
The most important line is the url.
The other lines are custom-made for my 2 camera streams.
The url is taken from VLC, which I use to stream SAT TV to my PC.

A few remarks on what I experienced:

For Raspberry Pi, you may need the MPG2 license in order to be able to stream the satellite TS stream.

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model 3 and omxplayer can only handle 1 TS stream, as it appears to be the case.
And a maximum 3 RTSP camera streams.
Perhaps more powerful HW can handle more.

I did not look into the possibility of choosing between streams / channels.
This needs some additional programming or even forking the code to make it specific for TS streams.

Hope it helps.

config.js :

{
  module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
  disabled: false,
  position: "middle_center",
  header: "Axis Security Monitor",
  config: {
    autoStart: true,
    rotateStreams: false,
    moduleWidth: 900,
    moduleHeight: 364,
    localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
    remotePlayer: 'none',
    showSnapWhenPaused: false,
    remoteSnaps: false,
    stream1: {
    name: 'SAT-TV',
    url: 'http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:2B66:3F3:1:C00000:0:0:0:', // ZDF HD
      protocol: "tcp",
      width: 590,
      height: 332
    },
  }
},

Thank you for your precious reply as I was just going to PM you asking exactly for that information!

I still have to see what the Google Assistant integration can do with channels switching, but it wouldn’t be so bad at the end if I will be able to see only one channel. :)

Going to try it in the next few hours when I finally get all the stuff needed for the smart mirror.
