If you directly run command ffprobe -v error -show_entries stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate -rtsp_transport udp rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_1 what do you get?

Also try without the -v error
And replacing to -rtsp_transport tcp

Running the command

ffprobe -v error -show_entries stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate -rtsp_transport udp rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_1

gives:

[STREAM]
codec_name=h264
codec_type=video
width=0
height=0
avg_frame_rate=0/0
bit_rate=N/A
max_bit_rate=N/A
[/STREAM]
[STREAM]
codec_name=pcm_alaw
codec_type=audio
avg_frame_rate=0/0
bit_rate=64000
max_bit_rate=N/A
[/STREAM]

Running the command without -v error and with -rtsp_transport tcp gives:

So from the fact that your manual ffprobe with udp also gives all empty values, and the one with tcp works, I think you suggestion that it may be due to use of udp seems correct. But how to fix it, I do not know.

For me, when running omxplayer manually, I had the same issue, I had to use tcp for some cameras, which is why I was so happy to see this software did it automatically correct.

kareemtawab commented on September 12, 2024

I have tried the OS before that and while I was adding the URLs I selected to preview the feed before adding the cameras and I was able to see the preview correctly at the corner of the screen. However, after adding the camera it was not able to get the feed on the main screen.

I will look into the code to find the argument, if it was that easy enough. I can probably change it.

EDIT:
I can find this under camplayer/camplayer/streaminfo.py, line 158:

# Most cameras are using TCP, so test for TCP first. If that fails, test with UDP.
transport = 'udp' if i > 0 else 'tcp'

and at line 199:

if video_found:
       try:
           self.force_udp = True if transport == 'udp' else False
           self._write_stream_details()
           break

any ideas?

cybermaus commented on September 12, 2024

Reading the source in streaminfo, I see how to hack, but I also see it should have already tried tcp.
Can you try to delete and rebuild the cache? camplayer --help should show how, but alternatively you can just delete ~/.camplayer/cache/streaminfo

from camplayer.

kareemtawab commented on September 12, 2024

Deleting ~/.camplayer/cache/streaminfo and rebuilding cache did not do anything. I'm out of ideas.

cybermaus commented on September 12, 2024

It is weird that if you try manually with tcp it works, but the code seems primed to also try tcp first and only fallback to udp. Also your dump above actually claims it found force UDP false. But yet all stream values are empty/0

Does it even populate the cache/streaminfo file? Can you show the content?

from camplayer.

kareemtawab commented on September 12, 2024

I freshly ran Raspbian with a fresh install of camplayer.

Here, I was using this free RTSP link rtsp://wowzaec2demo.streamlock.net/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov and some other local files and indeed it includes the info in the cache/streaminfo file.

{
    "file:///usr/local/share/camplayer/resources/video/elephants_dream_120p.mp4": {
        "codec_name": "h264",
        "height": 120,
        "width": 214,
        "framerate": 24.0,
        "audio": true,
        "force_udp": false
    },
    "file:///usr/local/share/camplayer/resources/video/elephants_dream_360p.mp4": {
        "codec_name": "h264",
        "height": 360,
        "width": 640,
        "framerate": 24.0,
        "audio": true,
        "force_udp": false
    },
    "file:///usr/local/share/camplayer/resources/video/elephants_dream_1080p.mp4": {
        "codec_name": "h264",
        "height": 1080,
        "width": 1920,
        "framerate": 24.0,
        "audio": true,
        "force_udp": false
    },
    "rtsp://wowzaec2demo.streamlock.net/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov": {
        "codec_name": "h264",
        "height": 160,
        "width": 240,
        "framerate": 24.0,
        "audio": true,
        "force_udp": false
    }
}

However, it does not even create a cache/streaminfo file if I include all of my other camera feed URLs only in the config. It will only include data for other free test RTSP URLs or local files.

I guess it is a problem with omxplayer as it can't play my links (no output) but can only play other links. I tried it separately using omxplayer -b -n -1 rtsp://192.168.1.13:10554/udp/av0_1

BTW: I tried the camera RTSP link with UDP and proved fruitless rtsp://192.168.1.13:10554/udp/av0_1

from camplayer.

cybermaus commented on September 12, 2024

I highly doubt it is a problem with omxplayer. The cache/streaminfo content is generated with ffprobe and next camplayer uses that to determine how to best run omxplayer.

Both the log in your first post, and the fact cache/streaminfo stays blank, means ffprobe already have a problem, and at that point omxplayer has not been called yet. Something is up with your rtsp stream or url.

The only weird thing is, when you did the manual ffprobe it worked.

I think it is something with the URL.
And the only think I see unusual with that is the port: :10544
I wonder if the : is trowing off the system. Can you try some variations of the URL. Also try them with manual ffprobe

Can you move the RTSP port to 554 so you can leave of the :10544 completely?

ffprobe -show_entries stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate "rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_1"
ffprobe -show_entries stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate -- rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_1
ffprobe -show_entries stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate -- "rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_1"
ffprobe -show_entries stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate rtsp://192.168.1.11%3A10554/tcp/av0_1

To be honest, I am randomly trying a bit with above. But I do believe internally camplayer should be using the -- in both the ffprobe and the omxplayer calls. I had to tweak my own version to add those to be able to play youtube video's

Oh, and also, delete the 2nd stream. Rather silly to offer the same quality stream twice:

channel1_name = 1
channel1.1_url = rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_1

I was using the demo config example and it had multiple streams of different qualities, so I thought I'll populate them with the only stream quality I need as camplayer shuffles between the views/windows and the streams. Surely, I'll remove all links except one per channel. Thanks.

Having the same stream in there twice would cause it to ffprobe it twice, which I do not think is the cause of the problem, but it surely will not help either.

Anyway, any luck with the suggestion to play with how to write the URL and its port number?

kareemtawab commented on September 12, 2024

I highly doubt it is a problem with omxplayer. The cache/streaminfo content is generated with ffprobe and next camplayer uses that to determine how to best run omxplayer.

Both the log in your first post, and the fact cache/streaminfo stays blank, means ffprobe already have a problem, and at that point omxplayer has not been called yet. Something is up with your rtsp stream or url.

The only weird thing is, when you did the manual ffprobe it worked.

I think it is something with the URL.
And the only think I see unusual with that is the port: :10544
I wonder if the : is trowing off the system. Can you try some variations of the URL. Also try them with manual ffprobe

Can you move the RTSP port to 554 so you can leave of the :10544 completely?

ffprobe -show_entries stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate "rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_1"
ffprobe -show_entries stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate -- rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_1
ffprobe -show_entries stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate -- "rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_1"
ffprobe -show_entries stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate rtsp://192.168.1.11%3A10554/tcp/av0_1

To be honest, I am randomly trying a bit with above. But I do believe internally camplayer should be using the -- in both the ffprobe and the omxplayer calls. I had to tweak my own version to add those to be able to play youtube video's

From these:

I got this one working, only after changing tcp to udp in the URL:

ffprobe -show_entries stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate -- rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_1

and outputs:

Notice the video bit rate is coming as N/A. Is that normal?

Regarding the port number, I tried many different URLs and I searched the internet but I couldn't find any other than these:

rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10554/tcp/av0_1 - 640x480
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10554/udp/av0_1 - 640x480
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10554/tcp/av0_0 - 1280x720
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10554/udp/av0_0 - 1280x720

and I couldn't find a way of predicting it. I can not find anything for the port 10554 for this camera. I believe it has a lower quality stream by the port 9000 and I notice that the Android app for the system uses it but I can't think a way of capturing it. I can use that URL if I find it, as my hardware setup doesn't call for more quality.

Camera port settings below as well as its model number.

I overlooked that /tcp/ in the URL, thanks.
Also, since you do have 2 qualities, maybe run all tests on both 0_0 and 0_1 streams, just in case the camera behaves different on the lower resolution substream.

So from earlier report, this works:
(the .......... is of course that whole preample, but honestly, you can do with or without)
ffprobe .......... -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_0
And this also works
ffprobe .......... -- rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/udp/av0_0

But this one did not work?
ffprobe .......... rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/udp/av0_0

How about these:
ffprobe .......... -rtsp_transport udp rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/udp/av0_0
ffprobe .......... -rtsp_transport udp -- rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/udp/av0_0

And of course, this one also works:
ffprobe .......... -rtsp_transport tcp -- rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_0

BTW: you once mentioned it worked in VLC. I trust you tried both udp and tcp and both 0_0 and 0_1 variants in VLC?

BTW: since you do have a 2nd stream with different qualities, you could add back in that 2nd stream.
But lets do that later, if/when we got it to work

channel1_name = 1
channel1.1_url = rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_0
channel1.2_url = rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_1

I also tried to run them on VLC Desktop from the same Raspbian (no HW acceleration here I believe) and they are all working. I just can't take a snapshot from VNC viewer but here is a photo of VLC running rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/udp/av0_0 at 1280x720:

I'm still suspecting omxplayer as it recognises the stream metadata but does not play it on screen for some reason and wishes me a nice day. Running both:

omxplayer -- rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/udp/av0_1
omxplayer -- rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/udp/av0_0

give:

I tried all of the possible URLs I wrote in the previous post and it just does not want to play any of them.

To roll things out, I tried many public free URLs and it plays most of them and other there were just connectivity problems and not problems with playback.

omxplayer -- rtsp://freja.hiof.no:1935/rtplive/_definst_/hessdalen02.stream
omxplayer -- rtsp://freja.hiof.no:1935/rtplive/_definst_/hessdalen03.stream

So, it is working quite well from command line. But not at all from the program.
Even though the program uses the same ffprobe.

Lets go deeper. In /usr/local/share/camplayer/camplayer/streaminfo.py
Change:

                try:
                    ffprobe_args = ['ffprobe', '-v', 'error', '-show_entries',
                                    'stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate',
                                    self.url]

                    if self.url.startswith('rtsp://'):
                        ffprobe_args.extend(['-rtsp_transport', transport])

                    # Invoke ffprobe, 20s timeout required for pi zero
                    streams = subprocess.check_output(ffprobe_args, universal_newlines=True, timeout=10,
                                                      stderr=subprocess.STDOUT).split("[STREAM]")

                try:
                    ffprobe_args = ['ffprobe', '-v', 'error', '-show_entries',
                                    'stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate',
                                    '--', self.url]

                    if self.url.startswith('rtsp://'):
                        ffprobe_args.extend(['-rtsp_transport', transport])

                    print(str(ffprobe_args))

                    # Invoke ffprobe, 20s timeout required for pi zero
                    streams = subprocess.check_output(ffprobe_args, universal_newlines=True, timeout=10,
                                                      stderr=subprocess.STDOUT).split("[STREAM]")

                    print(str(streams))

So add both prints and the '--',
Run and show output.
I wrote those prints from memory, as I did the location of the file, so look around a little.

So our replies crossed.
Maybe omxplayer eventually also has a problem.

But you told me the stream does not even show up in cache/streaminfo

So that to me is a clear indicator it is not even reaching the omxplayer part.
And I I have a few camera's myself where I cannot get omxplayer to work, but camplayer does make it work, by starting omxplayer witht he exact correct parameters. Which it figures out with the ffprobe.

cybermaus commented on September 12, 2024

In your log, note that you see both tcp and udp ffprobe attempts printed, but never the result.
That means both calls fail.

However, I may see why now: the -rtsp-transport is placed behind the URL.

That is absolutely not allowed when you add the -- like I made you do, but it is also not desirable normally.
Let me think a bit on how to fix that.

cybermaus commented on September 12, 2024

I think like this:

                try:
                    ffprobe_args = ['ffprobe', '-v', 'error', '-show_entries',
                                    'stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate']

                    if self.url.startswith('rtsp://'):
                        ffprobe_args.extend(['-rtsp_transport', transport])

                    ffprobe_args.extend(['--', self.url])

That was certainly unexpected 😁. My mistake eventually, I will try not forget to quote reply the next time

And yes, cache/streaminfo is not present after running, even after adding '--'

Possible scenarios:

ffprobe does not deliver the arguments correctly.
omxplayer may have an issue with stream, but it is just me who is typing the command. Could be me too.

So the tcp one is not showing any result, and then the udp one is timing out.
The later is only to be expected. But the 20 second timing suggests they both time out after 10 seconds.

How long do your manual ffprobe attempts take? And your VLC connection time?

Changing timeout to 20 and also adding a print

                try:
                    ffprobe_args = ['ffprobe', '-v', 'error', '-show_entries',
                                    'stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate']

                    if self.url.startswith('rtsp://'):
                        ffprobe_args.extend(['-rtsp_transport', transport])

                    ffprobe_args.extend(['--', self.url])

                    print(str(ffprobe_args))

                    # Invoke ffprobe, 20s timeout required for pi zero
                    streams = subprocess.check_output(ffprobe_args, universal_newlines=True, timeout=20,
                                                      stderr=subprocess.STDOUT).split("[STREAM]")

                    print('we definitely did reach post subprocess stream!')
                    print(str(streams))

Takes around 5 seconds to get the stream going on VLC. Increased timeout to 20 and camplayer --rebuild-cache:

Ok, so the tcp stream was indeed timing out.
Now, it no longer tries the udp stream. And it prints a result. And it builds the cache.

Granted, the cache is mostly 0, and while you do not mention, yet I am assuming it is not actually playing.
But the the tcp definitely timed out, it needed a longer time.

And still, the manual ffprobe did work, by your suggestion:

They all output:

Metadata:
title : streamed by the Zmodo RTSP server
Duration: N/A, start: 0.040000, bitrate: N/A
Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (Baseline), yuv420p(progressive), 1280x720, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 180k tbc
Stream #0:1: Audio: pcm_alaw, 8000 Hz, 1 channels, s16, 64 kb/s

So lets try a bit more with the exact format.
Also, like I suggested before, can we start using the main stream av0_0

You already tried, but please try again:

ffprobe -v error -show_entries stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate -rtsp_transport tcp -- rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_0

Oh, and since your cache/streaminfo is now populated, but with incorrect data, you will have to delete it on each attemp.

YAAAY!! After studying the omxplayer arguments closely from https://elinux.org/Omxplayer, I actually got omxplayer to work manually using:

omxplayer --aidx=-1 --avdict=rtsp_transport:udp --win '0 0 800 480' --live -- rtsp://192.168.1.13:10554/udp/av0_1

I had to disable the audio stream by --aidx=-1, change the syntax from rtsp_transport udp to --avdict=rtsp_transport:udp, added the dimensions of the window --win '0 0 800 480' and at last added the --live for un-seekable streams.

Not sure if I will be able to implement --aidx=-1, --avdict=rtsp_transport:udp and --live in camplayer, though. Let me try that now.

EDIT: I'm not able to implement that. I couldn't find a documentation regarding ffprobe arguments to omxplayer. Do you have one in hand?

Oh, and since your cache/streaminfo is now populated, but with incorrect data, you will have to delete it on each attemp.

After I got omxplayer working using the av0_0 and av0_1 links, I think it doesn't help to use the av0_0 as it causes broken stream output in omxplayer because of limited bandwidth (as I saw from the output) but I will add it anyway to the config.

ffprobe -v error -show_entries stream=codec_type,height,width,codec_name,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,avg_frame_rate -rtsp_transport tcp -- rtsp://192.168.1.11:10554/tcp/av0_0

gives:

[STREAM]
codec_name=h264
codec_type=video
width=1280
height=720
avg_frame_rate=25/1
bit_rate=N/A
max_bit_rate=N/A
[/STREAM]
[STREAM]
codec_name=pcm_alaw
codec_type=audio
avg_frame_rate=0/0
bit_rate=64000
max_bit_rate=N/A

Ok. so why does it give proper output when run manually, and almost all 0 when running via camplayer?

I do have a workaround suggestion for you though:
Fake the cache/streaminfo with the proper values. Once the cache/streaminfo exists, camplayer does not even try the ffprobe anymore, and goes onward to omxplayer. And since it now did work for omxplayer....

Could be possible that the arguments sent by ffprobe is not what omxplayer expects?

cybermaus commented on September 12, 2024

So any luck with faking the cache/streaminfo with the correct values, so it skips ffprobe and goes directly to camplayer?

I also had the same issue with 10 secs drop signal. Has this been fix or is there plan on updating the repo to solve the omxplayer udp issue?
