Using mplayer on raspberry pi for cctv monitoring
Raw
mplayer-rtsp-pi.md

Since omxplayer seems depreciated on the newer Raspbian installs, needed a way to stream 4xRTSP streams to console, without X11
My TV is connected on the HDMI port and is 1920x1080
My camera system is a LOREX with RTSP streams available.

A command line sample for mplayer

mplayer -nosound -framedrop -ao null -vo fbdev2 'rtsp://USER:PASS@192.168.1.X:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=CHANN&subtype=1' -vf scale=958:500 -geometry 0:0

The scale setting stays the same on each, the geometry setting sets where it shows on the screen.
