got another HDMI cable?

I know I had blanking issues but the hdmi_boost option resolved it completely, might try hdmi_safe=1, here are all the config.txt options and more info: http://elinux.org/RPiconfig

@pal251, the hdmi_boost and disable_overscan=1 solved the blanking for me. I now have 5 cams showing without any blanking. Only problem now is time is off on some 10 - 30 seconds.
@nayr, how is your upgrade coming along?

sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Then scroll down and remove the # from in front of disable_overscan=1 and the same for config_hdmi_boost=4

No not yet, any idea for the url for hikvision cameras
@bob2701

It worked with substream!

I just changed the main to sub on the url.

All 4 cameras seem to work just fine, crazy.

Now it may have been a problem with the wifi, how do I turn it off upon bootup with the ifconfig or another command?

Ok, I got wifi turned off completely but it still has the problem of blanking out the screen with the main stream.

Any other ideas?

ive found adding '--lavfdopts probesize:10000' to the omxplayer command greatly reduces latency presented by mainstreams..

Hows the lag on this script? I have built a few scripts for my PI2s using Xterm and Screen, Screen gets really laggy at times. HD has just been killing me, i started using the Amazon Fire Tvs for 100bucks works pretty well to be able to flip through the cameras.

For me the lag is 1/2 seconds per stream. However I use rtsp over tcp so this is already slower by design
