Got the config page working and the stream frame showing on MagicMirror but no streaming video. I’m using a Foscam camera which encodes the stream as ffmpeg.
I have six of these running in Zoneminder and the TCP video stream is called with this command:
10.10.XX.XX:8081/videostream.asf?user=USERID&pwd=USERPWD
I get the module to outline a frame but the contents just show a grey background.
Here is my config for the module:
{
module: “MMM-RTSPStream”,
position: “top_right”,
header: “Box Stalls”,
config: {
autoStart: true,
rotateStreams: false,
rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
moduleWidth: 354,
moduleHeight: 240,
localPlayer: ‘ffmpeg’,
remotePlayer: ‘ffmpeg’,
showSnapWhenPaused: true,
remoteSnaps: true,
shutdownDelay: 12,
stream1: {
name: ‘Boxstall’,
url: ‘10.10.XX.XXX:8081/videostream.asf?user=USERID&pwd=USERPWD’,
frameRate: ‘undefined’,
hdUrl: ‘10.10.XX.XXX:8081/videostream.asf?user=USERID&pwd=USERPWD’,
snapshotType: ‘url’,
width: 354,
height: 240,
ffmpegPort: 9999,
},
}
},

I hope someone can point out what I am doing wrong. I think I am close to having this working.
Thanks.

IT WORKS!! You are my new hero…
Your gradually (learning me) how to use this… ( I live in East Texas, what can I say).
I really appreciate the help. Now I can move forward on my security cameras.

Thanks again.

I’m just installing MMM-RTSPStream for the first time. I installed it as root (sudo su -). Got it all installed as per the instructions in the repository and now ready to use config.html. When I point my browser to it: html://10.10.10.59:8080/MMM-RTSPStream/config.html my browser returns:
This site can’t be reached10.10.10.59 refused to connect.
Try:

Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

The Pi that MagicMirror is running on is local to my network so this is not a firewall issue. I think something in the configuration needs to have some file changed from root to a user access ability but I don’t know enough to know which file. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Glenn.

If you are using the Raspberry Pi Zero W’s they come with wifi built in. I just finished getting the MMM-temp-DS18B20 module issue fixed and working. The next thing would be to use MMM-MQTT. This will allow you to have a broker that will collect all the readings and store them in a set of topics. Then you just need the MMM-MQTT-client to read the topics and display the readings. It sounds way more complicated than it really is. I recently wrote a blog posting on http://www.desert-home.com/ called http://www.desert-home.com/2020/02/temperature-adventures-with-rasppi.html. It explains a lot of it. Then you just need to setup the MQTT-clients to read the temperatures. Good luck. Should be a fun project.

ESP32 with DS18B20. ESP32 can run micropython so code is easy. ESP32 is cheap and so is the DS18B20. Simple compact and is WIFI.

@sdetweil No I didn’t. I guess I probably should.
Also, I got the MMM-ip module working the way it was intended to work…Pilot error on the use and not use of quotes in his config. Was not very clearly pointed out. So now got my analog clock, outside temperature (DS18B20) and the ip addresses of my raspberry pi working…Very stoked. Now off to tackle getting security camera working.
Again, thanks for all your help.
Glenn.

I use the DS18B20 temperature probes a lot so I was really excited to see a module for these. I noticed in the issues that there were a couple of people having problems.
I’m happy to say that I found the issues and posted the fix in the issues and this module now works very well.
The DS18B20s are great little devices if you want to measure one or more temperatures around the house.
I hope this helps others.

Sam:
Thanks. I’ll start a new topic on it.
Now, I use DS18B20 temperature probes a lot. I found a module MMM-DS18B20 for them and it seems people were having issues getting it to work.
I found the problems with it and it now works correctly. I put the fix in the issues.
Is there somewhere else I can alert people to the fact that it is now working as advertised (with the fix)?
Thanks.
Glenn.

Ahhh…got a little problem:
I’m configuring MMM-ip. I cloned the repository into modules without issue.
I put this into my config.js:

{
                        module: "MMM-ip",
                        position: "top_right",
                        config: {
                                fontsize: "5",
                                dimmed: "true",
                                showFamily: "IPv4",
                                showType: "both",
                                voice: "false",
                                startHidden: "false"
                        }
                },

It comes up, but it displays the title Network Interfaces
ETH0
IPv4: 10.10.10…(the correct interface)
MAC: b8:27…(and the rest)
in the middle of the screen.

It doesn’t seem to be controllable nor does it display as advertised.
Hope you can help me out.
Thanks.
Glenn.
Still haveing fun with it…

PURRRFECT!! Exactly what I am looking for. MagicMirror is just the wall display I have been searching for. It has come a long way from the original I looked at back in the day.
Thanks again.
Glenn.
