Please provide a copy of the module config that you used. Also, have you confirmed ffmpeg has been installed and have run npm install inside the module's directory?

from mmm-rtspstream.

{
module: 'MMM-RTSPStream',
position: 'middle_center',
config: {
autoStart: true,
rotateStreams: false,
rotateStreamTimeout: 10,

}
},

above is the config that im using. Ive got it now to where the default stream will work but when i change it to mine i just get a gray box in the middle of the screen, even though the feed works in VLC.

Unfortunately I have not yet tested this with an http:// protocol. It's on my TO-DO list, but I don't have one to test with. What model camera are you trying to connect to?

1. You can try adding protocol: "udp", in the stream1 config section to test if its udp and not tcp.
2. Are you getting any errors in the console / pm2 logs? Add hideFfmpegOutput: false after port: 9999, to get the ffmpeg errors to appear in the MM2 logs
3. Can you access the stream directly using a webpage? Have you confirmed if you need a plugin to play the video? If no plugin is required, you could try and use the MMM-iFrame module for now until I add direct streaming capabilities to the module.
4. You can try playing with the ffmpeg command line arguments yourself and see if you get any errors. The default is:

ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -r 30 -i {{YOUR URL}} -f mpegts -codec:v mpeg1video -bf 0 -

5. If you're willing to do some experimentation you can install the dev branch which uses omxplayer for the local screen (no video will be accessible from a browser on another computer, but it uses the GPU so it will run much faster). More details in this thread. To

I have the same problem (blank window in position middle_enter) but with rtsp. The stram works (see config), tested with Ispy and VLC. So Portforwarding, Firewall etc must be ok
Here is my config:
config: {
autoStart: true,
rotateStreams: false,
rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
showSnapWhenPaused: false,
moduleWidth: 354,
moduleHeight: 240,
stream1: {
name: 'DLinkStream',
url: 'rtsp://xxxx:[email protected]:554/play1.sdp',
snapshotUrl: '',
snapshotRefresh: 0, // Seconds
frameRate: "30",
port: 9999,
}
}

Solved the problem now: I had to change the port from 8088 to 8099...

from mmm-rtspstream.

@psteimann which port? I'm having the same issue...

from mmm-rtspstream.

The Port in the config.js on the top of the file. I had an error starting MM concerning the port while starting it in the shell with npi start magic mirror..check out first if you get errors.

if it still does not work: I also installed the master branch, described in another issue here, used another player as suggested and corrected the position...
