First off, big thanks to doobiest for creating this add-on, it was great inspiration and got me a long way down the road.

Below is a significantly updated version that cleans up/fixes a bunch of stuff and adds a "Config" section to the add-on so all of the options can be set via the XBMC UI.

Latest Version:
Source Code

Older Versions:
Frodo

*zip script.securitycam folder and install in addon folder

Please let me know if you decide to use this version and especially if you have any issues. I'm considering breaking the result into two separate add-ons, one for notification and one for camera preview, so I can trigger the camera preview for events other than a doorbell ring. I think it would be nice to be able to push a button on the remote and bring the security cam preview up on a whim. Once I do that I'll try to get the resulting code up on GitHub.

Hi there.

I would like to use your version but dont know where I enter my ip,username,password. Is it under Get Settings or Inject?! I tried both. But they dont work. Please let me know what to do to make this script work with my cam.

Cheers.

You should be able to configure all the settings from within XBMC now. Navigate to the Add-On and click on the "Config" menu option, you can enter all the relevant information there.

I did some searching on that error and found the following info on StackOverflow.

Give this one a shot and see if it fixes the issue. I just implemented the change mentioned on StackOverflow.

Also, please take note that this version is a new renamed script without the notification so you'll want to uninstall the old one and look for the new Add-On under "Program Add-ons -> Security Cam Overlay". I removed the notification piece because I mapped the add-on to a button on my remote so I can bring up the security cam image at any time (not just when the doorbell is pressed).

Try prefixing your url with "http://" or "https://". Also, urls should use a forward slash "/" not a backslash "\".

In your case something like this: http://10.1.1.50/image.jpg

Cheers mate.

The Error Type: <type 'exceptions.EOFError'> makes me think that the code was unable to retrieve the image from the provided URL for some reason.

Hi @iolaus

I would love to try your version of the script but the filedropper download links seem to no longer work (for me at least, it just redirects to the filedropper homepage). Are you able to repost them please?

Thanks! Smile

I re-uploaded the zip here, let me know if you're still having trouble. If a couple people use it successfully maybe I'll look into getting it added to a repository.

Wow thanks very much for the quick response! Awesome, it's great having the config menu within xbmc and the adjustments for size is very useful too.

I'm thinking of doing some modifications to it to better suit my use (as a baby video monitor) but I don't know python at all so not sure if you are able to advise how to do it? At the moment I've got it running from a hotkey using keyboard.xml but ideally I'd like to be able to toggle it on/off rather than have it on a timer like it currently is. I'm unsure if this would need to be implemented in the script or whether it would need to be done in hotkey settings for XBMC (maybe one to launch it and another to terminate it?).

Also another non-essential mod would be to select which corner of the screen it's shown in as some tv shows have subtitles which it may get in the way of at the moment but that can wait a while

Thanks Smile

If you'd like to attempt to make those changes you're welcome to go for it. Otherwise, I'll see if I can find some time to add those features as additional options in the configuration.

Thanks iolaus

I'll give it a go when time permits but I'm not sure if I'll be able to manage it though, will be a good experience for me either way Smile

I can roughly work out what's happening in the code at the moment but writing new code is where I'll struggle but I'll see what I can do and post here if I make any progress on it.

Cheers
Rob

Thanks for your reply. My bad. Of course you have to use a forward slash. What was I thinking

I changed it and got this:

The Error Type: <type 'exceptions.EOFError'> makes me think that the code was unable to retrieve the image from the provided URL for some reason.

I just noticed the line that I haven`t posted. It goes just in front of the log I posted:

Code:
19:00:41 T:5992   ERROR: Control has invalid animation type (no condition or no type)

I tried every combination:

https://10.1.1.50:90/image.jpg
https://10.1.1.50:90/image.jpg
http://10.1.1.50/image.jpg
http://10.1.1.50:90/image.jpg

I do get an image if I just type in a browser but dont get the script to run Confused

Anyone any ideas?!

Cheers.
