omxplayer is deprecated in favour of vlc. Do you have the issue with vlc?

I just have set it up here and it runs like a charm nonstop. I am accessing rtsp stream of UniFi Security Cameras.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)" NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="10" VERSION="10 (buster)" VERSION_CODENAME=buster ID=raspbian ID_LIKE=debian HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/" SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums" BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs"

Installed it via the displaycameras package: https://github.com/Anonymousdog/displaycameras but can run it standalone without the wrapper as well.

Well, VLC doesn't play Unifi rtsp streams...

` [00007fc484008f90] access_realrtsp stream warning: Cseq mismatch, got 1, assumed 0

`

omxplayer does it without any issues out of the box and my Raspi 4 load is as low as 0.20 constantly.

Would really be pity if such a well tuned program like omxplayer gets replaced by a full X app like VLC.

VLC doesn't require X. It can be run fullscreen from outside X.

Hello there,

I also have difficulties to migrate to vlc. Would it be possible to make a little tutorial about all the configuration options that are needed? I can get a video running but how do I get multiple videos right next to each other?

Most options I pass to the command (neither vlc or cvlc) seemt to be ignored. I am using compute module 3.

Thank you and best wishes!

Sebastian

There's some useful info here: https://github.com/RPi-Distro/vlc/issues/12

There's a more simple explanation of the main problem, reported here:
