Re: RTSP and RPi Bookworm

Thank you Simon. :D

I’ll be sure to post back on my results. :!:

I am tackling the errors/ issues line by line. So the imagemagick convert will come later.

As ever on this forum thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Re: RTSP and RPi Bookworm

yes you'll need to install ffmpeg unless it is already installed. as to the path, yes that looks ok, though dependant on where ffmpeg is installed/symlinked. It appears that ‘ffmpeg’ is installed in RPi ‘Bookworm’. :D However the code suggests that there should be a directory ‘ffmpeg’, within which...

Re: RTSP and RPi Bookworm

Presume I need to download ffmpeg to trial the code ? Starting to amend the code for my setup. I assume this looks right so far?: This to take the snapshot from my webcam ( rtsp://admin:***************.***.*.**/streaming/channels/101 ) and send the image (still called sky1.jpg) to my desktop. /opt/f...

Re: RTSP and RPi Bookworm

so I use ffmpeg to grab the screen capture of an rtsp feed and save it to a jpg image. I process a camdataT.txt with cumulusmx and save to camdata.txt (used to show values on the final image) Temp: <#temp>°C • Pressure: <#press> hPa • Hum: <#hum>% • Wind: <#wspeed> mph <#currentwdir> • Rain: <#rfal...

Re: RTSP and RPi Bookworm

Use something like ffmpeg's "convert" That's what I do. Grabs a snapshot adds layers and text etc then posts to my website. I can post the script if needed. Now that sounds interesting. I’m not very technical on coding matters, but would welcome an alternative to consider. Thanks for the ...

Re: RTSP and RPi Bookworm

I found this on an unrelated forum not including RTSP was a decision for Debian only - so if you remove VLC that's included in bookworm - you can install it via snap and it should work?? There was a Debian policy decision that will cause Debian VLC build to not stream rtsp, you have to use vlc as a...

RTSP and RPi Bookworm

Sadly it seems that VLC on the RPi does not support RTSP, when using Bookworm os. :cry: My old RPi (Buster) uses the RTSP stream in VLC to create my snapshots of the current weather. That still works ok (but very processor intensive). With my new RPi (Bookworm) I’ll have to work something out to get...

Re: Installing CMX v4

So partial success. I renamed the '/usr/bin/dotnet' to '/usr/bin/dotnetold'. And recreated the dotnet file in the /usr/bin/ which now has the correct pi2 link. The installation seemed to go OK, however. So now I'm face with this: × cumulusmx.service - CumulusMX service Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/s...

Re: Installing CMX v4

What I have found is that the /usr/bin/dotnet Has a red exclamation mark in it (not sure if thats normal or not). :?: What is noticeable is the target file in 'File properties' is wrong. The link points to: /home/pi/.dotnet/dotnet When the pi is actually called pi2: Operator error I think :bash: So ...

Not getting very far I'm afraid. Running whereis dotnet I get this= dotnet: /usr/bin/dotnet /usr/share/dotnet /home/pi2/.dotnet/dotnet So there are three locations, the Bin doesn't have anything meaningful in it so I moved on to the /usr/share/dotnet folder which does have an executable dotnet file ...

Re: Installing CMX v4

Exploring this a little further and in response Simon. I think my dotnet executable sits here (in a hidden folder called '.dotnet' - i'm using the gui to look at the file structure): /home/pi2/.dotnet/ See attachment. So does this mean that I need to run this code or add it somewhere? Does this look...

Re: Installing CMX v4

Thanks Simon this sounds like your dotnet executable is not included in your system's PATH environment variable. This means that while you can run the dotnet --info from your cli, it might not be accessible from certain directories. To fix this, add the directory containing the dotnet executable to ...
