@cr4z33 thanks! I’ll add it when I get a chance.

Check your capitalization in the MMM-Carousel config. It should be carouselId, not carouselID.

@robiv8 I don’t have a debug mode, but you can try adding:

console.log(notification, payload); to Line #988 of node_helper.js to print all notifications received by the back-end from other modules; or console.log(query) to Line #644. If you are using the API, you should be getting a response back in the browser or Postman.

Looking at your list, I have a sneaking suspicion that Page-Selector is causing the issues, just because it may be inadvertently suspending the module. If you troubleshoot and find that to be the case, and can’t find a work around with that module, you can try using MMM-Carousel w/ Navigation which is what Page-Selector was originally based off of. I know there is an option in that module to “exclude” a module from being suspended.

@gregp Glad you got it working. I’m not sure what happened with the README and where the details went around “enableKeyboard” and “enableKeyBindings”, looks like it got lost during an update. I will get it corrected on Github.

Also, enableMousetrap was replaced by enableKeyboard as a breaking change during one of the recent updates. You no longer need enableMousetrap in your config, just enableKeyboard.

Just a note, if you want to use ArrowLeft and ArrowRight you can (depending on your keyboard). This will not interfere with the “KeyBindings” (Bluetooth Remote) unless you want the ArrowLeft on the remote to do something different than the keyboard.

Finally, it looks like you found it between your first and second post, but just for anyone else, the keyBindings section needs to be inside the config section for MMM-Carousel.

Just to close the loop with @jdfraser, this was discussed further and closed in Issue #6 and Issue #7 on GitHub.

@lamachine the carouselId: "1" needs to be inside the calendar module’s config section (move it down a line).

Also if you just put ‘calendar’ in a slide, it will show every calendar, each one needs a carouselId.

@pum there is an existing script provided by MagicMirror now, please try deleting everything on your ~/.pm2 directory, then using:

sudo su -c "env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin pm2 startup linux -u pi --hp /home/pi"
    pm2 start ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror.json
    pm2 save

You may have to use systemd instead of linux in the first line if you get an error.

@robiv8 OnScreenMenu puts a little floating button on your mirror (either visible always, or only visible when you hover over that corner) and gives you a menu on the mirror’s screen itself. The new version has an option to use MMM-Remote-Control and basically takes a small mini version of the “/remote.html” page and puts it in an iFrame on the MIrror’s screen.

Basically – Remote Control is a remote (phone, another computer, etc.) and OSM is for the actual mirror, if you have a touchscreen, or use a mouse, keyboard, or physical remote (w/ MMM-KeyBindings).

@dazza120 Sorry, I’ve been away. What are you lost with? Can I help point you in the right direction?

If you’re just looking to install this version, see a couple posts up. For the most part it functions just like the other version, but adds a lot of advanced control features on top–like controlling your mirror from a browser or home automation controller (via API) or adding module control menus to the existing “/remote.html” page.

you there mate?

Gotta earn some money to pay for all my expensive hobbies… Currently 100 miles from land for the next week so debugging will be… Slow.

In the meantime, can you please send/share/chat me a copy of your config with both this module and the controlling module sections at least? Also, have you tried using a different module, like my branch of MMM-Remote-Control w api to control the streams? Is it always the same number of streams wrong, or is it for sure random?

@costascontis said in [MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras:

can someone use vlc instead of omxplayer with your module?If yes whats the pro and con on that?

Yes, its still experimental but was working fine for me. If you’re on a Raspberry Pi, it works best if you’re using the newest distro of Raspbian because VLC has Hardware Acceleration enabled.

Your mileage may vary between omxplayer and VLC. OMXPlayer is finicky and doesn’t rotate streams well (will be working on that)–VLC should in theory be much more stable and easy to use, but some people have had issues getting it to respond correctly on the Pi.

Back up a few pages on this thread to find out how to install the develop branch.
