Possible work-around.
Needs travelling via Austria :-)

To check if your station is available:

$ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PublicTransportHafas
$ npm run query oebb

> mmm-publictransporthafas@2.1.13 query
> node ./convenience/query_stations.mjs oebb

Using hafas-client profile: oebb

Enter an address or station name:

This will give you a station Id.

Update config.js:

$ vi ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js
:
:
      hafasProfile: "oebb",
      stationID: "<ID>",
      stationName: "<Stop>",
:
:

For me the list appears again, although I do not see the real-time times, meaning it shows the ⚠ symbol (as set in noRealtimeDelayString: "⚠",).

One can try different hafas-client profiles, listed in:

https://github.com/public-transport/hafas-client/blob/main/p/readme.md

When you are lucky there is a good alternative to db.

Seems that DB made the service, as used by Hafas, unavailable.

https://reiseauskunft.bahn.de
503 Service Temporarily Unavailable

Also other programs using it have this problem.

Can only hope that there is or there will be an alternative source.
It is the one of the 3 most used MagicMirror modules in our household.

@evroom
Crap on a Cracker,

Thank you again for this great moduel.

I like this expression!
I also waited a long time for this module.
Only made it available on Github and tweaked it a little.
When in January the new MM version comes out, I am finally going to reinstall my old setup.
Good to know that you got it solved.

@myfingersarecold said in MMM-MPlayer:

regarding #2 on my pi i didnt have to rotate the mplayer orientation, but i adjusted the output of my pi to portrait and everything behaved but ymmv depending on how it’s setup.

Could you please tell me how you do the general rotation to portrait ?

I use the custom.css to get it rotated clockwise.
As MPlayer is an overlay, like OMXPlayer, it is not affected by this.

body {
:
:
  transform: rotate(-90deg);
  transform-origin: top left;
  width: 100vh;
  height: 100vw;
:
:
 }

But of course there are more, potential better, ways of getting it rotated.

Hi @plainbroke,

Let’s see what we can do about it.

First be sure that the URL can be opened and shows your stream:

VLC Media Player
      File
            Open Network
               URL: rtsp://192.168.1.32:554/live
               Open

Then get some data from the logs:

$ pm2 flush
$ pm2 restart MagicMirror
$ sleep 15  (or simply count to 15)
$ grep 'MMM-MPlayer' ~/.pm2/logs/MagicMirror-*.log

Also adding DEBUG will give some more information and since you only use one module, all output will be related to this module:

logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR", "DEBUG"],

Tailing the current log:

$ pm2 logs MagicMirror --lines 100

Also try if a single stream will work:
(note, please adjust the indents when and where needed)

$ vi ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js

{
	module: 'MMM-MPlayer',
      disabled: false,
      position: 'middle_center',
      header: 'MPlayer',
	config: {
	      useTwoWindows: false,
	      layout: 'row',
	      monitorAspect: 0,
	      rotate: -1,
	      windowSize: { width: 640, height: 360 },
	      windowPosition: { x: 5, y: 225 },
	      streamInterval: 30000,
	      streams: {
	            window1: [
		            'rtsp://192.168.1.32:554/live',
      	      ]
	      }
	}
},

I am using an 8 GB RAM Raspberry Pi 4b, perhaps there are memory constrains we are not aware of.
But when you say the mp4s are working …
To see the memory usage:
$ free -h -t

@evroom Nice! 🚀 Please add it to the module list 🙂

Done.

I don’t feel like actually uploading it to github, but here is the source code, and an example config.

I took the liberty to take the provided code, make changes to it and make it available as a public repository:

https://github.com/evroom/MMM-MPlayer

My own main purpose for using it, is to setup a new Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi 4 Model B), with Debian 12 (bookworm) and the latest MM version (2.30.0).
Replacing a Pi 3b 32-bit Debian 10 buster setup where OMXPlayer is still working.
I will be using a single window with a single RTSP stream (for an Axis Network Camera).
Nothing fancy.

Best regards,

E.J.

Here two questions:

1/ What does streamInterval do ?

2/ Is it possible to rotate the output ?
I am using my screen in portrait mode and therefore need my RTSP stream to be rotated by 90 degrees.

To answer my own questions:

1/ Cycles the streams defined in window1 and/or window2 after the provided interval (in milliseconds).
Where applicable, the streams will start from the beginning again (for example for mp4 videos).

2/ Yes, this is possible using the -vf rotate=[0-3] option and adjusting the windowPosition values.

@myfingersarecold Nice! It would be cool if you maybe reconsidered and uploaded it to GitHub 👩‍💻

In order to encourage and to help you a bit, here a README.md:

# MMM-MPlayer
A MagicMirror module that uses MPlayer to display rtsp streams

## Project Status
This module is working, but still under development.

## Installation of mplayer
### Verify if mplayer is already installed
```shell
$ which mplayer
/usr/bin/mplayer

Install mplayer (when not installed yet)

$ sudo apt install -y mplayer

Installation of the MM module

In your terminal, change to your Magic Mirror module directory cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
Clone this repository git clone https://github.com/myfingersarecold/MMM-MPlayer
Make changes to your config.js file.

Config Example

Edit the file ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js to add or modify the module.

{
	module: 'MMM-MPlayer',
        disabled: false,
        position: "top_left",
        header: "MPlayer",
	config: {
	  useTwoWindows: true,
	  layout: 'row',
	  windowSize: { width: 525, height: 295 },
	  windowPosition: { x: 12, y: 575 },
	  streamInterval: 30000,
	  streams: {
		window1: [
		  'something_else.mp4',
		  'something.mp4'
		],
		window2: [
		  'rtsp://foo',
		  'rtsp://bar',
		]
	  }
	}
},

Configuration Options

Option	Description	Default
`useTwoWindows`	Use two windows	true
`layout`	Can be ‘row’ or ‘column’	row
`windowSize`	Window size for both windows	{ width: 525, height: 295 }
`windowPosition`	Position of the first window (window1) [window2 is either 5px below or to the right of this window, depending on layout]	{ x: 12, y: 575 }
`streamInterval`		30000
`streams`	window1 and / or window2 streams [ mp4 , rtsp ]

Test environment

This procedure has been tested on:

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5
