trying to run rpos in raspberry pi 4

[sravich1]

Hi,
I am newbie trying to run the rpos in raspberry pi 4.Not able to get the rtsp working.
Initially got the following errror
_rtspServer error: Error: spawn ./bin/rtspServer ENOENT
at Process.ChildProcess.handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:268:19)
at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:470:16)

errno: 'ENOENT',
code: 'ENOENT',
syscall: 'spawn ./bin/rtspServer',
path: './bin/rtspServer',
spawnargs: [Array]
}

changed to option 3 in rposConfig.json...still not able to get the rtsp working..any method to run the same

Let me know if you have any chnages here.

What is the source of your rtsp stream? How is the rtsp path look like?
If your rtsp stream is not from picam and also not provided by V4L2 RTSP Server by mpromonet, then you have to use the "rposConfig.sample-proxy.json" template.

Also, the "RTSPAddress" : "hostname_of_remote_rtsp_server", "//":"Normally left blank. Used to set RTSP Server Address", should be at same line.

Hi,
My rtsp source is form pi cam as I am using raspiberry Pi 4 ...but still not able to get the rtsp server started.
I am working in one of the image where rtsp stream is working...but when I download and start afresh I am not able to get the stream...I even made the rtsp address same line and tried still not working.

if I give as 1 then error posted at the start comes...so basically RTSP server is not accessible.
Let me know if there needs to be any change.

1. Make sure the rtsp stream path is accessible. This can be done by open network stream via VLC Player.
   I am using mediamtx as rtsp server for pi camera. It usually has rtsp stream path as "rtsp://ip-address:8554/stream"

2. Rename the "rposConfig.sample-proxy.json" to "rposConfig.json" and change some parameter as below:

{
"NetworkAdapters" : ["awdl0","eth0", "wlan0", "en0"],
"IpAddress" : "192.168.1.15",
"ServicePort" : 8081,

"HardwareId" : "1.0"
},
"logLevel" : 3, "logLevelComment": "## LogLevels are > 1:Error 2:Warning 3:Info 4:Debug",
"logSoapCalls" : false
}

By the way, I have node v12.22.12 and npm v6.14.16.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.

1. I did try with mediamtx...but I am getting error

NF [path cam] [RPI Camera source] ready: 1 track (H264)
2024/01/11 18:06:14 INF [RTSP] [conn 10.35.62.103:60852] opened

My IP is 10.35.62.102 but I do not know why it is picking up 103...also I installed from following path
https://qengineering.eu/install-gstreamer-1.18-on-raspberry-pi-4.html
If you have clear steps for this kindly provide
2.Once you run the mediamtx..then try with rposProxy changes...then run node rpos.js ....you are saying ONVIF complaint can be achieved??
can you ellaborate on this??
also directly with onvif rpos ..I cannot get the rtsp running

but not seeing anything in the vlc or any other streaming
Kindly let me know the steps..I am in right path

[sravich1]

why is RTSP method failed coming from....the method in which I am running is fine right??...kindly help me out.
--Ravi

[sravich1]

My ffmpeg conversion from .mp4 to mkv is working fine...do not know why specifically I am getting this error..
any changes need to be made in ffmpeg.??

[sravich1]

when setup for ONVIF is clicked ..ffmpeg is giving the error...any idea where the problem is ??

[universe241981]

1. Make sure you can play the rtsp stream by using VLC player or similar software.

2. If your rtsp stream need username and password in order for it to play?

3. ffmpeg exec error: Error: Command failed: ffmpeg -fflags nobuffer -probesize 256 -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/stream -vframes 1 -r 1 -s 640x360 -y /dev/shm/snapshot.jpg
   Try change the rtsp path to the "absolute" rtsp path. If the rtsp need username and password, please supply that into the rtsp path also.

[universe241981]

The rtsp path gonna be edit here "rpos/services/media_service.ts" before compile them from .ts to .js.

[sravich1]

Hi ,
I modified under services media_service.js
var cmd = "ffmpeg -fflags nobuffer -probesize 256 -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://10.35.62.108:".concat(_this.config.RTSPPort, "/").concat(_this.config.RTSPName
I gave the absolute path ...but _this.config.RTSPName ..need to change from stream to cam??
as my rtsp is working for rtsp://10.35.62.108:8554/cam

ffmpeg exec error: Error: Command failed: ffmpeg -fflags nobuffer -probesize 256 -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://10.35.62.108:8554/stream -vframes 1 -r 1 -s 640x360 -y /dev/shm/snapshot.jpg

still getting ffmpeg error ...is the place in which I am modifying is correct..let me know.

rtsp is working...need to get the ONVIF going here.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your reply...
Here is the following way in which I downloaded and started with the rpos

1. download from
   git clone https://github.com/BreeeZe/rpos.git
   cd rpos
   npm install

2. do npx gulp
   get the rpos.js
   now use rposConfig.sample-picam.json to copy and create rposConfig.json..change the IP address here
   "IpAddress" : "10.35.62.108",

   I have used RTSPserver 3 here...with1 getting error

3. getting the ffmpeg error
   ffmpeg exec error: Error: Command failed: ffmpeg -fflags nobuffer -probesize 256 -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/h264 -vframes 1 -r 1 -s 640x360 -y /dev/shm/snapshot.jpg
