Brilliant vlog. Thanks for the detailed and concise explanation what happens and why with the commands entered. I learned somthing about systemd also. Great! Greetings from Holland.
@@clabretro have an issue seen on my setup where after about 12-20hrs the streams disappear and can only see the terminal screen. system shows omx still running but no image. have you come across this on your setup ?
@@Xexpress i've had mine work just fine for several months or more. maybe the pi or machine you're running it on is going to sleep after a certain amount of time?
Thank you for the good and well-formulated instruction. Good work! Everything works fine except my pi can't auto start the cameras after boot. Ran sudo systemctl enable unvr-cams but that doesn't help, only the sudo systemctl start unvr-cams command gets them started. Any tips to get the autostart working?
I have debian Buster installed on my Pi 3 B+, could that be the cause? Saw on your video that you had light version installed on your Pi. I'm a beginner in rasberry pi so it's a small project that I want to implement. I can launch the camera snakes on commando via VNC so I can live with this.@@clabretro
Very nice, thanks for sharing. One thing concerning the coordinates: in your script you're using 940 as X value, but in your explanation later on in the video you're using the (correct) value of 960. Is there something I've missed or did you correct the values after the first part was already recorded? Thanks again!
@@clabretro Thank you. I would imagine there are many people wanting to do this very thing with existing devices they already have without having to configure a Google or Alexa device. I tried vlc on my VERY old Raspi 1B and it didn't quite work. I think this old hardware would have worked with one or two streams if omxplayer was still supported.
@clabretro +1 here too. Great video I wish it worked still. I also read hdmi-cec sense can let the pi sleep when the tv is not accessing the port. I will subscribe. 👍🏻

thanks!
Thank you very much! This video is a gem!! Well done
I might try this with a usff Dell running Raspberry Pi desktop OS and a few old cameras I have.
Nice! Someone was mentioning omxplayer might be deprecated, so I'll have to dig around for another solution.
@@clabretro Did you happen to find anything yet? It seems some people have tried using VLC instead, but it's not perfect.
Excellent, thankyou so much
Glad it was helpful!

hmm interesting, anything in the logs for that service after you try a boot?

man I wish I had this video when starting to learn about systemd shenanigans.

Good question, just double checked and I must've just had the wrong value earlier in the video. As you say, 960 is the correct value.
@@clabretro Thanks, I thought it may have had something to do with margins or pixel aspect ratio. Anyways, whatever.
What are those overhead lights you’re using above your workbench?
Could also use motioneye, Be a bit more user friendly.
It appears that omxplayer is not longer supported. Can this be done using vlc or something similar?
Ah bummer... it's possible vlc might work, I know you can definitely view RTSP streams over it. I'll add this to my growing list of projects haha.

I built a very similar system to this but I utilized mplayer. It's been working great to watch our cameras in our kitchen and my office. 🙂
OMX is gone. update to what to use now
