Ahoy friends.
Currently i'd like to get my Raspberry Pi 4 running to check my 4 cameras at home. (Using Raspberry OS Buster).
I've tried a solution called rpisurv, which is a wrapper for omxplayer, but unfortunately it doesn't work well for the RPi4 (Known issue).
So i was trying to display these streams using VLC, putting one screen on every edge, so splitting the screen into 4 parts.
I don't use a desktop enviroment, commandline only, but i've installed VLC already.

Displaying one stream works fine, but i'd like to display 4 seperate RTSP streams at one time, one on each corner. Is there a way to get it work, or do i need to look for something else?
That's the command i've tried, in order to put at least one screen in one corner, but it didn't work well.
I hope someone could help

use a tiling window manager

Hi, I am the maintainer of Rpisurv.

What do you mean with "but unfortunately it doesn't work well for the RPi4 (Known issue)."? Rpisurv 2 should be fully functional on a Raspberry Pi 4.

Next to this Rpisurv version 3 (https://github.com/SvenVD/rpisurv/tree/v3_latest) has been released, which definitely is RPi4 compatible. It uses vlc player as a backend instead of omxplayer.

Thanks a lot Sven!!
I had an issue with smearing and delayed screens, but this issue has been solved now using the new version!! Thanks a lot!!
