Crap on a Cracker,
I was forgetting to put the login information in the url.
DUH, thanks for the help it works great now…
So if I want to show say 3 cameras 1 at a time I just add them to the window 1

                    "rtsp://xxxxx:xxxxx@192.168.1.40:554/stream1",
                    "rtsp://xxxxx:xxxxx@192.168.1.35:554/live",
                    "rtsp://xxxxx:xxxxx@192.168.1.32:554/live",

and now it actually works great.
Thank you so much for the module.
I have been looking for this for a long time.
I am so happy I can veiw my cameras again.
RTSPStream went byb bye due to no one wanting to work with it anymore…
Thank you again for this great moduel.

@evroom

I checked and I am running the latest VLC according to when I tried to install it
with:

sudo apt install vlc

I run that url on my latop VLC and it works.
HELP ME, I ve fallen down a rabbit hole here.

This is what I have in my config.js for MMM-MPlayer.
My problem is I can play big bunny and pretty much any video.
BUT I want to show my rtsp cameras like the github shows I can.
I installed mplayer and the videos play, so pretty sure I have the setup correct to that point. I am running this on Rpi 4 2gb ram off a ssd/usb .
Bullseye 64b MagicMirror 2.29 I used Sams install script and it installed flawlessly as usual…
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is the only module running on this setup. I built it only so I could view my cameras on a bigger screen.
Since RSTMStream is dead anymore I was really excited to see something else that might work…

{
	module: "MMM-MPlayer",
        disabled: false,
        position: "middle_center",
        header: "MPlayer",
	config: {
	  useTwoWindows: true,
	  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",
		],
		window2: [
		  "rtsp://192.168.1.35:554/live",
		]
	  }
	}
},

@sdetweil
Thanks for the update.

@sdetweil
Sam,
I got this message when installing MM with your script.

(node:8435) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 close listeners added to [TLSSocket]. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit

Approximately 83 times, as close as I could get a count on them.

Is it anything I need to worry about.

@sdetweil
I just made it work, I am so happy
the commands to start it are
pm2 start 0
and to stop
pm2 stop 0
works that is how my MagicMirror starts in the mornings and stops at night…
pm2 is like magic…
Thanks for the help
I will give it a run overnight and see how crontab handles the commands.
You always have an answer that triggers my thought process to make it work.
Thank you Sam I appreciate your efforts to teach us that are not too bright…

@sdetweil

I figured out I had to remove the && ctrl C and now it just opens the one tab.
DISPLAY=:0 chromium http://192.168.1.177:8083/live
is all that is inside the Camera.sh file now, it now works.
So I can now start it up with crontab -e
I can use killall chromium and it shuts it down.
But then pm2 restarts it for me automatically.
How do I get pm2 to stop watching for the shut down?

@sdetweil

DISPLAY=:0 chromium https://www.google.com &

opens the chromium web browser with google just fine, but then I get this error over and over again.

[4886:4886:1201/195513.105659:ERROR:gbm_wrapper.cc(79)] Failed to get fd for plane.: No such file or directory (2)
[4886:4886:1201/195513.105747:ERROR:gbm_wrapper.cc(262)] Failed to export buffer to dma_buf: No such file or directory (2)

any idea why that would be happening? It doesn’t start until the web browser actually starts up on my screen. I can ctr c and it stops and the web browser stays running like I want it to.

I made a Camera.sh and pasted.
DISPLAY=:0 chromium 192.168.1.177:8083/live & ^C
PM2 start Camera.sh
PM2 save

AND

it works kind of, the problem now is it just keeps running and loading tab after tab until I kill it.
What am I not doing correctly.?

I am trying to get PM2 to start firefox when I boot raspi 4 running bookworm.
I have the browsers home page set to my tinycam pro web page display (local)
It works great if I start it manually but would like it to start from my crontab -e and shut down the same way I just do not understand the syntax I need to use to get Firefox to start using crontab.
Probably making it harder than it really is…
Thanks in advance.
Jeff
