Rtsp from CLi

[vertcnc]

Noob could use some help. I am trying to run this code and it runs fine from the "run" command of the desk top, but if i try it from Terminal Cli nothing, no error. Help please.
screen -dmS camera omxplayer -- live --win "20 20 600 400" rtsp://user:[email protected]:9093/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1

There should be no space between "--" and "live" but I see one in what you entered above.

I'm not familiar with "screen" syntax, but just to confirm, have you tried running omxplayer by itself with the same command line arguments?

I've also noticed omxplayer immediately closes with its "have a nice day" message if the video stream URL is invalid, like if you specify a substream that isn't enabled on the camera (subtype=1 means first sub stream).

The space was just a typo in message{sorry). Rstp stream works from the "run" command on the desktop, just not from a script or from the Terminal.

I suspect you'll need quotes around the url or bash will interpret the &
