Its also possible with VLC on Windows,... omxplayer,vlc,... are all high customizable videoplayers, which you can control via commands or with scripts.
Its called "mosaic" on vlc
see here

I found a way to properly show mosaic of streams from RTSP cameras on VLC 3.0.8 and wanted to share the solution: Write the following into a file <mosaic_vlc3.vlm> # Comment the following lin...

For raspberry:
1) download balencaEtcher (or similiar programm to setup sd card for raspberry)
2) download
Raspberry Pi OS Lite from
Operating system images – Raspberry Pi
3) use balencaEtcher to put the image onto your sdcard (please make sure that you selected the sdcard and no other drive, you will loose data otherwise)
4) first mount your sdcard into your computer (insert again)... one partition cannot be recognize by windows, because its linux.
DO NOT FORMAT IT, just abort the message
5) go to the "boot" labeled partition of sd card and put a plain file (
without any ending or text in it) with name "ssh" on boot partition
it will enable ssh by default, so you can just connect
6) hook up raspberry to power and lan. connect to the IP via putty
default username: pi , password: raspberry
7) start with the following commands, just let them run and then the next one... it will update the OS and download omxplayer and screen... each cmd will take a while,... wait for the end. some have to be accepted (see prompt)
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install omxplayer screen
8) after finish, go into raspi-config
its pretty simple to control, but manual how to use it here
raspi-config - Raspberry Pi Documentation
set GPU memory to 512 (should be in performance options or advanced options, memory split)
also set "network at boot" under system options...
(maybe you have to set underscan/overscan , depends on your monitor, ... just continue for now)
9) you are now done with the setup and continue with the script for live view...
but you can try first via command line:
Code:
omxplayer -o local rtsp://username:password@ip:554/Streaming/Channels/102 -b --live
to end it on monitor, just press CTRL+C in putty
i will write something about the script later, if you have understand how to "calculate" the numbers, its quite easy.
